MATERIAL WGRLD The first half of the 1980's was a time for technological advances. Luxuries such as vid- eo recorders, home computers, microwave ovens, and cordless telephones made life a little easier and more enjoyable. Teens driving their own cars and having their own checking accounts was a sign ofthe changing times. In the Material World, where fads and fashions prevailed, styles expressing individuality were worn by both sexes. Today's fashion is easy- going, relaxed, self- expressive, and a way of saying, Hey world, I'm mein Lauren Looney Girls wore plastic shoes and neon colors, and wearing shoes without socks was the cool thing to do.

Spread Your Wings . . and Fly This was the theme of the juniors' Ring Day ceremony. It was developed by Kyle Nielsen, and was displayed on the banner. On February 15, the juniors had a special day. This was the day that was set aside so that Fr. Mike could bless their rings during the Mass. The hour-long service was attended by family, friends, and classmates of the ju- nior class. Fr, Mike explained how their rings signified their maturity and all of their won- derful memories of Reicher. Following the Mass, the juniors went to the cafeteria to enjoy a breakfast of rolls, sausages, and cake that was prepared by the Seniors. It was a day that they would never forget. Eric Cotten, Brian Ott, and Julian Castilleja proudly dis- play their newly-blessed rings. Dede Farrar smiles as Sr. Fran places the ring on her finger. Deep in thought, Michelle Wilson, Melanie Willie, Scott Vrana, and Laura Van Horne contemplate their futures as leaders of the school.
