It’s a Matter of Taste Peddle pushers, clam diggers, bob- bie socks with flat Pappagallo shoes — Osbourn in the 50 ' s ? Nope, it ' s Osbourn in 1983. Although the times are changing con¬ stantly, the fashion world has come full circle. Everyone is having a blast with the styles of the ' 80 ' s? ' , creating a new wave to an old look. What we call “punk , our parents called “Vogue in their day. Of course, we can never forget the Definately GQ! Down to his socks, Michael John¬ son always creates an ensemble that displays his impeccable taste. With spring just around the cor¬ ner, a shorts and jacket combo is quite appropriate. Osbourn traditionals — the Preppies. Their style never changes, for their dress is always very refined. Everything matches precisely, from the checkered pants and watch band, to the printed skirt and purse cover. Each of these fashions has its own indi¬ vidual style, whether it be of elegance, refinement, or warmth and comfort. Ev¬ ery person must find a style which re¬ flects his personality, likes and dislikes, and general individuality. As long as people and times change, you can rest assured the fashion world too will change. But you can also rest assured that one thing will never change — everyone ' s favorite blue jeans! Match-maker Paige Tavlor manages to over¬ come any difficulties with color combinations, and always has perfectly co-ordinated outfits. Add-a- bead necklaces can be found everywhere, and the sizes are many. Sign of the things to come or perhaps the things that once were, Robyn Barton and Caroline Mathews update some old clam-diggers with bright accents such as bandanas, and bright, layered t-shirts. White tennis shoes complete Robyn ' s outfit, and Caroline creates a unique out¬ fit with the help of a concert t-shirt. Shoes without socks, a sure sign of a Prep. Cheenos and a polo shirt complete the outfit worn by Chris Harrover, a senior. The top designer of polo shirts this year was Ralph Lauren, but every now and then an alligator could be spotted. Completely sophisticated and completely casual. Kelly Grizzle is known throughout the school for her classy taste in dresses. Just another day for Junior Brent Kendrick. Blue jeans still remain the basis of everyone ' s wardrobe and shirts and jackets enhance the look. -- Fashion 15

It’s finally lunch time! Although the cafeteria is crowded and hot, and the students complain about the food, it is, for many, the high point of the day — second only to the bell at two o ' clock. Business teacher, Ms. Macher, helps the D.E.C.A. students, Sean Radcliff, Robby Ziese and May Szuszwalak straighten out the books after a busy morning at the school supply store. Typical Day Everyday, five days a week, the same routine happens. The familiar buzz of the alarm awakens you at an hour in which the only other being awake is a bright¬ eyed owl in the dark reaches of Man¬ assas. You stumble blindly through the halls trying your best to find the bath¬ room. Time passes quickly and before long you ' re hurrying to the corner to catch the loud bus. You grope your way among the crowded aisle to finally find your seat next to the biggest jerk in the whole school. Amazingly enough you get to school on time, only to find a change in the weather. Rain — a person ' s worst enemy. And naturally you have your out¬ door class during the hardest rainfall. The result? Dripping hair, runny make¬ up, stickly clothes, and a bad mood. The rest of the day has been ruined. For some unknown reason, you can ' t seem to find last night ' s homework. Your teachers all assign more work, and you ' re late to the rest of your classes. Finally the day ends and you board the same old, yellow bus. Tiresome and weary, you slouch down in the seat and ride home. As you open the door to your house, you throw vour books down and grab a snack. Another day is gone, but you know tomorrow will be the same, if not worse ... Desperate to meet deadlines, these students gravitate to the library. Here they find a quiet atmosphere for the last-minute efforts of the writers. Mr. Kelly desperately attempts to organize the morning announcements, so that they have their normal ring of importance and vitality, or, at least, tries not to mispronounce any of the words. Questioning a test grade, Keith Ebker talks with Mrs. Koman during his American Government class. Testing is an integral part of every student ' s day. 16 Special Events
