Fashion: Expressive, Exciting And Personal When it comes to fashion, the “typical” dressing RHS student is by far in the majority. These students are not out to change the world or even turn heads with their wardrobe. They simply dress for the sake of dressing and don’t believe in spending every last cent on the hottest threads in town. Levi jeans are a staple along with basic crew neck sweaters, button-down shirts, and boat shoes. The typical dresser is practical and his her wardrobe reflects it. Their motto is: blue jeans never go out of style. TYPICAL — Styles worn by the typical RHS students are modeled by Sophomores Denise Endrizzi and Tony Moe. : |V I ?;■ i«' ti iY . it RHS jocks are easily recognized because they always seem to have the latest in athletic wear. They have at least two pairs of shoes for every sport: high tops for basketball, Rebok for aerobics, Nike for running, and Kaper for dancing. Their clothing is always loose and comfortable. Sweatsuits or plastic jogging pants with a famous sport team’s jersey often replace the more restrictive jeans, sweaters, and loafers. The jock is never with out his her letter jacket and latest issue of “Sports Illustrated. JOCKS — Jerseys and sweat pants, worn by most jocks, replace sweaters and jeans.

Discovering A Wider World The third stage of high school growth is like the adolescent stage where juniors become aware of their wider world and their place in it. Sue Ketcham and Troy Flanagan represent this stage. Juniors now become a very important part on sport teams and in groups, with the responsibility to help organize and lead them. They begin to care a lot about how they look to others, especially the opposite sex. Decisions For The Future In the last stage, symbolized by Mindy Mattox and Scott Ny-Gaard, maturity has developed, and seniors arc filled with many decisions about their future. Seniors find themselves worrying about what college to go to, how much money they are going to need, and what career choices to make. They become the models of the school, by leading events and setting examples. Seniors now realize it’s not just fun and games anymore, but a lot of work and planning. Four Stages Of Student Life 19

Music, fashion, and politics come together in the social phenomenon called “punk.”. It starts out with harsh clothing such as leather, spikes, chains, flannel, and torn jeans all personalized with political statements or the names of musical groups which the majority of students have never heard of. The punk hair styles range from shaved heads to twelve inch mohawks and stark white to jet black. Powered by the high-speed music called “thrash”, punk is more than just a fashion statement, it’s a political and social statement as well. PUNKS — Sean Todd (12) and Tara Thilmony (10) dress in the punk favorites, black, leather, and torn jeans. This year is a big year for the “trendy” at RHS. The girls arc wearing oversized Espirit or Benetton (of course) sweaters with tight fitting stirrup pants or long, strait skirts. Apparently Guess jeans are on their way out! The guys don baggy trousers, Benetton (why not?) sweaters, Italian loafers and matching socks. The trendy guy is characterized by his “knocic-them-dead” GQ looks. Accessories are the finishing touch. Anything chunky, glittery, antique or made of rhinestones is popular; especially broaches, and the gaudier the better. The truly trendy can make anything odd or slightly tacky the latest rage. TRENDY — Kris Mikkclson (10) and Jason Popko (12) dress in the latest trend with big shirts, and lots of prints. Fashion 21
