Keep up with the latest style lthough fashion was an important part of student life, the style this year remained simple, students wore what they were comfortable in, The new school rule allowing students to wear shorts to school provided the students with a chance to wear some of their summer clothes to class. This summer, Jams , a type of shorts, became popular additions to stu' dents' wardrobes. The Hawaiian-loolsing shorts seemed to go with almost any shirt and seemed to be appropriate al- most anywhere. An expensive outfit wasn't necessary and many chose to mix and match out- fits that had been pushed to the bade of closets and forgotten. lf an expensive dressy outfit was considered more cam- fortable for others, that was acceptable too. Some things that seemed to have ap- peared more often this year were de- signerjeans. More girls wore these rather than the old style of Levi button-ups. Levi's were still around, but were saved for more casual occasions. Guys as well as girls were in to the baggy style of jeans with the tapered legs. Fashion is an important part ofa high school students life because the clothes a person wears reflects their personality, said Tamara Johnson, senior. lf one was searching for the conserva- tive lools, he could usually find it at Har- old's or Orbach's. From there came po- los and some sweater vests which were worn occasionally. Another lools was explored by stu- dents this year. Flourescent clothes from socks to dresses were in. The loud colors were often some of the favorite combi' nations. Among the wild articles were socks with sparkles, belts, and large baggy sweaters. Flourescent clothes seemed to be a favorite of many stu- dents. Hair styles varied, Some of the punls styles went out while tails and braded tails were still seen occasionally. Some of the Paris styles seemed to surface such as having one side shorter than the oth- er. More guys were lilsely to have permed hair and in the shorter style. Some popular stores explored by stu- dents were The Limited, Casual Corner, Paul Harris, and even the department stores such as John A. Brown and Dil- lard's. By having so many styles to choose from a person was almost assured of being in with the crowd no matter what they wore. Cowboy. The western style was a popular lool-s too.

Students found excitement during Hot summer days lthough students used the summer months in many ways, almost all profited from the time away from school. Vacations were taken to such places as Greece and lsreal to name a few. My trip to lsreal was a real exper- ience. It was a lot more interesting see- ing the history than reading about it in a book, said Robert Markowitz, senior. ln Greece I got to do a lot of things I can't do here. Like going to pubs, discos, and long shopping spreesl The scenery was gorgeous and there was always a friendly atmosphere, said Angela Papo- sarantou, junior. Besides those vacations, some stu- dents went on school sponsored trips. Student Council Nationals was held in Coventry, Rhode Island. On that some trip they toured New York City and Bas- ton as extra entertainment. A BASIC Workshops was also held at Central State University. One of the most important things that happened this summer was the begin- ning construction of the new auditorium. Construction started in July and is expect- ed to end this fall. The National Student Council Convention will be held there in 1986. For some people classes were includ- ed in summer activities. Whether they had to take Driver's Education or needed to catch up on some missed work, sum- mer school was usually considered hard work and an unfortunate necessity. Something that affected about every- one this summer was the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, California. Although most events were shown on t.v., some people thought it best to at- tend in person. The United States team winning their share of gold medals made many Americans proud. Sleeping late, laying by the pool and catching up on soap operas may have been included in the summer lives of many students, but soon the end of Au- gust came and it was time for another year. Drum solo. Many students attended at least one of the two concerts given by Van Halen this sum- mer. Alex Van Halen plays the drums during the concert. IPhoro by Blake Voglerl Summer workshops.
