M £ - »«« ' • «« . ► »•.», „ A Sharp Lesson Fashion is a statement . . . you are whatjyou wear . . . clothes make the man. These cliches seem to ring true whether you are out on the town or leading a sedentary life; it s all a fash¬ ion affair. Fashion merchandising stu¬ dents showed us this and more, mak¬ ing positive statements during a fashion show entitled A Sharp Les¬ son”. They gave us that indeed, with volunteer models wearing various outfits supplied by local retailers. The latest crazes: the hottest accessories! We saw it all-from smart suits to very fashionable active and casual wear. Cold climates brought on a whole new way to beat the big chill. Warm sweater dresses, and woolen scarves to dress up” an outfit, were grand examples. Baggy clothes and nylon running suits may be more your style if you are the laidback type. Speaking of laidback styles, two soda compa¬ nies, Coca-Cola and Pepsi were at it again. This time, they were competing in fashion and making walking bill¬ boards of us all. Levis 501s also made a strong comeback. Finally, wearing an outfit made solely of den¬ im, you just couldn ' t go wrong. What¬ ever the statement you wish to make, clothes will help you t o acquire that look”, whether classical, trendy, or just plain practical. Look at me! Demonstrating graceful poise, Chrissy Pilkinton shows off to the audience. ”Make Me Laugh The audience appreciated David Martin ' s sense of humour and style as he strutted across the stage.

Snowy Days The snow came; the stu¬ dents didn ' t. With close to three feet of snow all at once, it was hard to clear the roads, and schools were closed for seven days straight. It was like having a second Christmas break. Many things were done by students, from skiing to shoveling driveways. The most popular activity, how¬ ever, was sledding. Every day we d meet at someone ' s house and just go out for the whole day and sled, said Sophomore Cathy Beyer. Once school was back, all was not well. Exams had been cancelled and, natu¬ rally, some students were excited. I was ecstatic when I heard exams were cancelled, Julie Delfox ex¬ claimed. On the other hand, some were infuriated. I needed my exam grades to bring up my semester grades, pouted Sabrina Roche. But all were satis¬ fied when the School Board decided to leave it up to students whether or not to take exams. The final problem was the snow melting and then refreezing on the roads. The ice formed by the melt¬ ed snow caused many small accidents on the way to and from school on the first days back, but it was gone after that. All that we had left was a few great memories. Ho, my notebook! Coming back to school after a va¬ cation due to snow is always fun. Kim Schneider took advantage of the opportunity to have a little fun with Julie Delfox. Slick Trick! Snow melting and then refreezing caused icy sidewalks. Tyrone Qualls and Hader Shaw look down as they walk to make sure they v ion l icni. t ;6 Snow Days
