Friday January 15, the day before the Semi-formal, found Snider students still rushing around. Last minute invitations and hurried vis- its to the florist over lunch were not uncommon. It was also hard for teachers to get their students to buckle down, but finally Saturday came and the fun really be- gan. Guys you never suspected owned a suit ap- peared in their Sunday best and girls went all out with gowns closely resembling Prom apparel. Most students ' evenings started out with pictures. You know, camera-happy mom and her three rolls of film. Then dinner, where such places as Takaoka, The Summit Club, and Peaches were attended by a lot of Snider students. Says Chris- tine Toledo, Rick (Stacy) made reservations at Harle- quins and we left early enough ... we just couldn ' t find it. When we finally did, we weren ' t old enough to get in! Finally, couples got to the dance and enjoyed live- ly, popular music by Unique Lighting and Sound. The cost was eight dollars per couple. Decorations were provided by Armstrong Flowers, and Mr. Carl Anderson. Watters Studio took the pictures. Chairperson of the Semi- formal was Sarah Randall. ' 88 Semi-formal ranked by many students as the best ever Lively music and colorful de- corations made lasting impres- sions on those who attended the 1988 Semi-formal dance. A good time was had by all Mr. Anderson: I was pleased with the number that attended and happy to see them have such a good time. I hope all are planning to go to the Prom. Sarah Randall: We spent a lot more time and money than in the past, but it definitely paid off in the end. Kent Davies: I had a great time, for my first. I even got to dance with more than one girl.

Jon Riiin, Scott Kroger, and Kon Lahmeyer copy the Bon Jovi look. Math teacher, Mr. Kevin Tubbs, proved that even teachers know a thing or two about the fashion crazes. To be in or not to be in Snider students trash the cloned look and dress for themselves. The bell bottom days are long gone and fashion has turned its unique eye to other styles. Instead of poodle skirts and bobby socks the ' 80 ' s has mi- cro-mini ' s and slouch socks. Fashion today has many fa- cets. People dress from avant garde to conservative, with some in between. In the winter one could see many people with Bomber jackets, distressed leather boots, oversized wool sweaters and bleached jeans. The summer offered such styles as biking shorts, rugby ' s and canvas gym shoes. Your faithful Bass or Eastland boat shoes were worn year round. Stores offer a huge array of clothing to express every per- son ' s individual style. True, clothes don ' t make the person, however: the right combination can make a state- ment. To be in style takes a lit- tle common sense and a little creativity. Normally if you feel and look good in what you wear vou ' re in stvle. Fad Fashion 1 3
