Fashions Imitate Last Year's Trends Every high school student wants to be fashionable. Many people confuse fashion with fad. Fashion as defined in the dictionary is the mode of dress, manners, living, etc., pre- vailing in society, especially in high society; also good form or style. On the other hand fad is defined as a temporary style. Fashion for a high school student would consume far too much time. After all, students have more impor- tant things to worry about. So for most, keeping up with the fads, (the things that are in ) is difficult enough. This year's fads are, for the most part the same as last year's- over- sized shirts and sweaters, padded shoulder blouses, paisley prints, stir- rup pants, 501 button-fly blue jeans, mini skirts and cropped pants. Accessories such as belts, purses and shoes are also very in . Shoes and boots of all sorts are very popu- lar this year. Wearing layered socks fits right in the foot scene. Slip-on flats come in almost every color a person could imagine. The boots are sometimes confused with wres- tling or basketball shoes, except for their colors make it clear they're not. Small amounts of lace are used to accent the total look of an outfit as well as broaches and earrings. Watches are also very popular. It seems as though almost everyone has a watch that matches the color of the outfit. Colors that are in range from shocking pink and brilliant blue to the softest pastels. So until a person has a lot more time and energy to be fashionable, look around and find the fads.

What's in, what's not Another thought Junior Michelle Hughes dresses comfort- ablv for the hotter months of school. ) Junior Jeanne Carmichael relaxes in a loose flannel shirt and moccasins while Junior Michele Norris wears jeans and a sweater. The romantic period is back. The look of lace and soft colors accent- ed with rhinestones and turquoise helps create the new prairie or chambray look. To create the entire look, a skirt with a dropped waist that is mid-calf length is needed. Add a lacey or rhinestone-accented blouse, leath- er boots, jewelry and the perfect face. The perfect face means softer makeup using pastels. Stirrups and bright shirts are still here but plain jeans and t-shirts are fading. “I like your swatch. Swatch watches bring a new meaning to tick-tock and a new look to watch faces. Swatches are covered with bright colors and inter- esting patterns that coordinate with an outfit. —Junior Barbie Kintzle Senior Tracy Henner displays her earrings by pulling back her hair with a banana clip.

Blue Devil Endangered Another Thought Although the whole thing was based on a ridiculous notion, I feel it ultimately had a positive effect on the school. It brought a sense of uni- ty in the student body and stirred up dead emotions in the community. We all pulled together for some- thing we believed in. It was great to see all those people come togeth- er. I just wish we had this support for all our school activities. We did, however, appreciate the great community support given to us in this matter. —Senior Craig Martin The Blue Devil controversy caused lots of excitement and even merited the presence of television cameras and reporters at the board meeting. x. —’— ------- Many students made posters in support of y the mascot. Shown is Junior Tony Abercrom- y bie reading one of the many signs. ( 22 Blue Devil The parking lot was tilled with cars display- ing signs supporting the devil mascot. One boy even spray painted a logo on his car. Senior Brian Bresnahan made a wooden sign for his truck to show his support
