Twins don't always agree, and when this happens, they find a quick and easy way to solve the problem. Sophomore Denisha Wilkins said, When we disagree on what to wear, we just don't dress alike. We share a room, and sometimes, like everybody else, we argue. The argument usually starts a pillow fight that ends in a big laugh for both of us. The relationship between twins is very special. Their attitudes toward each other differs greatly from the constant groans of older children complaining because younger children are always underfoot, and the whinning of younger children because they cannot go as many places as their older sister or brother. lt is fun being a twin. We have our differences, but we love each other, said Denisha. 'Tm blessed that God sent her. Through the bad times, we've stuck together, side by side. - By Denise Clay 55 O 31 QCD nl- 5' Bl 5 - 0 0 T Q? gb: QT ETD ff ? wma

Then fashions for now Fashions took a different look in 1983, but traces of the past could still be found. Fashion magazines were replaced by par- ents' old yearbooks. Girls drug out their mothers old chests and dressed themselves in beaded necklaces and button-down shirts pulled together with bow ties, pin-stripped pants, and mini-skirts. Guys also found clothing in the attic with Fashions flirt with past for 'now' look polo shirts worn layered. Even keeping warm became a part of the new look. The lightweight Members Only jacket was origin- ated for guys, but was soon adopted for girls. Goose-down jackets and vests kept guys warm while stadium coats and leather jackets fitted into the girls' wardrobe. Not only the clothes changed, but also the hairstyles. Shorter hair was in for guys and button-down shirts, monogrammed sweaters, straight leg jeans, and loafers. However, not everything was out of the past. Designers such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Geoffrey Beene, and Bill Blass added their touch to the l98O's. New styles included geometric earrings, knit ties, leg warmers, taffeta dresses, and girls as the new wave brought styles such as French Cut, the Georgio Collection, and the Quadrant hair styles. Sophomore Nancy Herman said that she liked the easy caren routine required by the shorter styles. - By Karen Salmon MEMBERS ONLY PLEASE - Sophomore Mark Allen keeps warm in a flight jacket, a style popular for both girls and guys.
