The newest innovation from Switzerland is the Swatch watch. Worn alone, with a Swatch guard, or several at a time, these quartz watches are very stylish. Coca-Cola is not just for drinking. During break, Wendy Sibbett models her Coca-Cola rugby shirt, one item in a complete line of fashions from the major soft drink com- pany. IK 'llhh-f..,..,..gr ' , nf- aterial World LlV-ING IN A MATERIAL WORLD re- flected the attitude 'of Pop star Madonna toward this generation. Material objects were a neces- sary part of our environment, making it livable yet unpredictable. Shelling out the bucks for the latest fads was fine, as long as it would keep us in style. lf there was one thing Randleman students could handle, it was being casual. Colorful, over- sized sweaters were as well liked as sweatshirts sporting various logos, Clothes bearing the Coca-Cola emblem were introduced during the summer, and caught the eye of several fashion- able students. Sparing no expense, many outfit- ted their feet in a pair of Reeboks, comfortable shoes acquired from Great Britain. This year saw the return of two favorite de- signs, paisley and plaid. Paisley reappeared from the 6O's, and was more in demand then ever. Along with paisley, big and vibrant plaids were printed on everything from blouses to shoes. Accessories played an important part in every organized wardrobe. Sleek, plastic Swatches were worn alone or in quantities on the wrists of the style-conscious. Many girls, and a few daring guys, had their ears pierced two times or more and purchased large, dangling earring. To lug 22fStuder1t Life vast numbers of books around school, back- packs slung over the shoulder came in handy. With the urge to be different, types of hair- styles changed. Mousse and highlights accented hair cut in several lengths. For those who were more conservative, rattails in various lengths and colors provided some variety. Music, which offered an escape from the ten- sions and headaches of studying, came in a diver- sity of styles. Pop stars Madonna and Prince both gave us albums full of hits. Rock and roll was presented by The Boss, Bruce Spring- steen, and Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. A-HA made it big with their song Take On Me, and Fernando entertained us with Mahvelous. The television screen provided another outlet for frazzled nerves. Thursday nights at 8:00, most students were laughing at The Cosby Show. Moonlighting provided sophisticated comedy while detective adventure was found on Miami Vice. Material things were not the most important, but they rounded out our lives. Whether they added to school life or let us escape from it, material objects were an ever present necessity in our world. .j M. M I 3 -at f e T' . -C MQ! Comfortable sweatshirts in different sizes, colors, and de- signs express the personalities of students well.

Out of the Skies On the week of Labor Day the most familiar voices were saying It's soooo Hot! Everyone was fanning in exasperation and dehydration. The teachers were miserable too. Almost all classrooms had a fan which did very little to lower classroom temperatures which sometimes reached 100 degrees. In Mr. Rush's fifth period class the temperatures ranged from 92-95 degrees almost every day. Everyone desperately wanted to go to the library, or to the office, or most ofall go home. Freshmen were luckyg they had their orientation in the library. Mr. Shackelford finally said those words that everyone wanted to hear: School is letting out at 2:15. After Mr. Shack- elford finally said those refreshing words, every- body wore relieved sighs and a cheerful face. Eventually the weather started getting cooler. Students slowed down. All the pretty colors of the summer turned to dull colors. Everyone's tune changed to, Oh it is cold! RHS students bundled up in their sweaters, big coats, and gloves. On a cold windy day, the cold wind whipped around the corners of the upstairs wing and blew us into an eternity of cold and chills. When it rained the frosty drops of rain soaked our bodies causing most of us to catch colds. When the tiniest drop of snow fell, all the stu- dents made a mad rush to the window to observe the falling flakes. Whether it was sleet, rain, sun- shine, or snow, RHS students were influenced by it. When the 3:15 bell rings, the students were ecstatic and Drummer Terry Parson who probably should be practicing looking forward to going to their destinations.
