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

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. Models are Vicki Snowden (II) and Brian Haukoos (12). 20 Fashion

Sadie, Sadie Give Me Your Answer Do On December 7th. the women of RHS had a chance to conic out of the closet. It was a chance to take the first step forward in asking their favorite male out. It was the big night of Sadie Hawkins at RHS. Whether a person went as a hillbilly, in toga, masquerade, or Hawiian, everyone seemed to have a good lime. Being caught while not holding hands sas grounds for jail. No man was released without a kiss from his date. If not in jail, girls had their dales going down the aisle to sa those vows, and “lie trie-knot. The dance provided a night of fun arid entertainment. But most of all a time to become closer to that extra special person. HRU I) liR (lop) logician. I rich Schulz (III. .uni bunny. i a ullcr (III dance .1 slow one ,tl Sadie% I DO! I DO!
