Checking everything from hairstyles to shoes, in casual and dress-up outfits had students Keeping an eye on fashion It doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there. That could have been the motto for the year. Everyone was out to make their own individual fashion statements, try- ing to set trends instead of following them. It seemed to be a sort of race to see who could impress the others first. This was easy to see in the array of colors and designs being worn. The first few weeks, the casual look o fo @ @ of tee-shirts and comfortable jeans were the most common sights. As the weather cooled off, Raider- ettes started strutting their stuff by wearing wild, eye-catching jewelry and bright, baggy outfits, while scarves dazzled the eyes with soft, smooth colors to coordinate with the rest of the outfit.

It’s Time for school As the parking lot began to fill and the school grounds began to come alive with conversation, students were off to a new and fresh start for the year. Friends reunited and picked up on each other’s lives almost where they had left off the spring before. There were mixed feelings. Some students were happy to return to school to see friends and teachers they had missed over the summer. Seniors were already looking for- ward to graduation. Senior Lynette Veal said, “I’m so happy this is my last year of school, but I know I’m going to miss school and my friends.” A few had in mind to get a good start on making acceptable grades, but most admitted they weren’t really ready for the playing to end and the work to start.

Senior Kenneth Wilder psyched himself up. He said, ‘The first day back | built myself up, drank two cups of coffee, and then I came to school!”’ Some students had improving grade point averages on their mind, but freshman Delphia Brynn said her goal was “‘to learn more independence and responsibility so that | will be prepared for college life and then life as an adult.” Some of those who returned felt the loss of last year’s seniors. Senior An- gela Rooks said, “Starting back to school this year wasn’t anything like last year. A lot of my friends grad- uated, and I miss them all. The school just doesn’t seem complete.”’ (Copy design by T. McCoy, J. Rudin).
