Back to the routine — — Continued from page 8 In the September board meeting, there was enough pressure from parents and students to cause board members to reject the plan in operation since the beginning of school. In the October meeting, a new plan was ap- proved which simply dropped the D, and returned A, B, and C to their original numerical values. Bus schedules had also changed since last year. Students new to the senior high weren’t the only ones getting up earlier. Junior Pamela Turner said, “‘I used to ride the bus at 7:25, but now it comes earlier and at a different place. I don’t like that because I may not be able to make it to the bus stop.” Freshman Tanya Goolsby said, ‘‘My bus came on time the first day but after that it started coming ten minutes later, but I don’t mind that.” Getting back into the routine also means the opportunity of making special friends and participating in school clubs and sports, but some students E SOPHOMORE JEFF FOWLER and junior Randy Gillis monkey around during lunch. : i 4 ” and faculty members gave up summer time, too. Senior Talitha Sherman said, “I gave up some of my time for band practice and camp.” Sophomore Chris Peavy said, “I play golf for the school, so I had to practice all summer.”’ The general impression was that the juniors and seniors were back into the groove by the end of the second week, but for the sophomores, and especially the freshmen, it took a little longer. g@ | A S “i a, DOING A DOUBLETAKE, senior Der- rick Nash checks out the mini’s on juniors Tanzy Hughes and Yartease Davis. a ae School Begins

Students go to great lengths to Step out in fashionable style There are a number of different f ashion styles at Northeast, some copied from others, some originally created, but most are a mix of original ideas with what others are doing. Namebrands are still hot, but there is a difference in how they are being worn. Gucci shirts, for example. It used to be that people would buy several of them in dif- ferent colors and wear them in ex- actly the same way. Now students buy one and exert their creativity in finding as many ways to wear it as possible. Other hot names are I.0.U., Guess, Union Bay, Levi, Badge 58, Jordache, Sassoon, and Reebok. To most people, namebrands are important. Sop homore Helen Harden said, ‘““Namebrands make a CONSERVATIVELY CASUAL OR SUNDAY FANCY, Todd Dean, Tyrone and Daniel Zeigler show that blazers can be worn with just about anything. difference because the clothing lasts longer and fit better than no- name clothes.” Ms. Pamela Brown, English teacher, said, “The name tells me that the general quality of the out- fit and fabric is pretty good.” Junior Tammy Palmer doesn’t think the namebrand clothing is worth the extra money. She said, “The only difference in clothes is the name. If there wasn’t the name, all clothes would be the same.” Do students compete in what they wear? Why not? They com- pete in athletics and academics, why not in appearance? Junior Cathy Smith said, “My best friend is Heather Land, and she is my best competition.” “T find the most competition with other girls who have jobs and ONE OF THE SEASON’S HOTTEST LOOKS is plaids, the bolder the better. — Ross, Reginald Jones, Alfred Bailey, = Calvin Watkins, DeWayne Gray, and Daniel Zeigler show a variety of plaid looks. dress nice,” said senior Chiquita Reid. Where do Northeast students shop? The majority of the girls say they shop at Body Shop, Contem- po Casuals, the Limited, Ups ’n’ Downs, and Macy’s — all found in the Macon Mall and the Crate on Riverside Drive. The guys shop at Chess King, County Seat, Macy’s and J. Riggins at the Mall, and at Rich’s in Atlanta. Sophomore Chris Veal said, “Where you shop does matter because different department stores have a different quality of clothes.” Mrs. Judy Fultz, an English teacher, said, “If a store sells what I like and I can afford it, I’ll buy it, even if it’s at a small store.” Fashion
