The Norwin gym was filled to capacity with well- wishers and enthusiastic fans. Three groups of students were prepared to travel to different areas in their quest to capture victories. The football team was to play Mt. Lebanon in a WPIAL Quad A playoff game. The vol- leyball team was attempting to retain their state championship status.

The volleyball team was suc- cessful beyond our imagination when they managed to crush all opposition and reign as the state champs for the 11th time. Once again, Norwin gym was filled with students, faculty, and par- ents congratulating the team for their outstanding performance. Perhaps, people will think only the volleyball team was vic- torious. But the football team and band accomplishments should not be dismissed lightly. Anytime a group competes on a national level or continues to play after the regular season has ended, significant success has been achieved. Send Off f Recognition 23

If any of these brand names are familiar to you, you are aware of some of the hottest names in fashion. To some people, getting dressed means nothing more than covering the body. To oth- ers, clothing makes a strong statement concerning the identi- ty of the individual. Appropriate individual style is achieved when the signals you send out with your clothes are in sync with what you intend to express. Make no mistake about it, your clothes send out a message of individuality, rebellion, or con- formity. Norwin students are aware of this phenomenon and realize the implications. Fashion is one way to be rec- ognized. Often seen sporting shorts over his pants along with vibrant red high tops, sopho- more Dan Tomko can easily be noticed. Dan says he wears what he does, because I don't want to be a clone, and theylre what I want to wear. Trends are often a large part of fashion. This year's include back packs, friendship bracelets, cardigans, bulky sweaters, loaf- ers, boatshoes, and hightops. Girls' fashions reach extremes as seen in the mini skirts and long skirts of the season. Blue jeans are even reaching opposites with tai: - ' choices ranging from classic Le- vi's to colorful Guess?. Surfwear has also washed into the dry halls of Norwin with names like Jimmy Z, O'Neill, and Viarnet siding the waves. We look toward a style that accurately reflects our tastes and personality. The point is clothes can be informative, fun, and all your own. As Ryan Dun- lap says, I guess the main rea- son I wear the clothes I do is to be different. After a while, ev- eryone starts to look the same. I'm not saying that's bad, but it's just not mef' Casual can still be chic, as proven here by juniors Erin Dempsey, Dave Mi- zener and Jen Urbani.
