These evenings were filled with songs, food, and merriment. The dinner was held in the Richwoods High School cafete- ria. which was decorated as a medieval dining hall. The Mad- rigal guests were entertained with carols sung by the Madri- gal singers. These singers were accompanied by a wood- wind duet, a string quartet. and a herald trumpet. A three course dinner, including soup, prime rib. dessert, and the fa- vorite drink wassail was served by many students. The Madrigal singers had to go through auditions. Out of thirty students that tried out. sixteen were selected. These students practiced many long hours to prepare for this spe- cial evening. This feast originated in Old bngland where they served wild boar and had a joyous celebration. The singers dressed in medieval styled costumes which were made by Mrs. Judy Zimdars.

TEPPING OUT STYLE This group shows the wide variety of fashions popular with the freshman class. A wide range of styles ap- peared throughout the halls of Richwoods during the I987-8S school year. To some students, fashion was dressing to im- press. to others it simply meant comfort, and a few even used fashion as a way to ex- press themselves. Neutral, earthy tones such as khaki, ol- ive green, sable brown, and beige were prominent, as were the jewel tones including em- erald. topaz, teal, and magen- ta. Oversized sweatshirts, blouses, and sweaters were a hit. along with cardigans, tur- tlenecks. cropped sweaters, jerseys, flannel shirts, and rug- bies. These were commonly worn with stretch pants, bag- gy slacks, cropped pants, sweats, or the ever-popular blue jeans. Guess. Levi's 501, Forenza, and Soon jeans were frequently seen stonewashed. acid washed, frosted, ripped, and in various colors. Denim was also a popular look in jack- ets. minis, workshirts. and slit skirts. Many girls sported the stylish skirts of the season such as minis, knit tube-skirts, long, full skirts layered over lace petticoats, and the trendy tiered and bubble skirts. Many used accessories to accent outfits. Scarves were worn around the neck and over the shoulder and wide, bulky belts were worn snugly on the waist or were slung loosely over the hip. Various brands and styles of purses were com- mon this year, especially Gucci. Liz Claiborne, binocu- lar cases.” and drawstring bags. As for jewelry, silver was in,” but the emphasis was on gold. Large hoop earrings of all colors and sizes, bangle brace- lets. gold herringbone chains, and add-a-bead necklaces were popular with Richwoods girls. Swatch, Guess, Axcess. and Gucci watches were con- sidered stylish along with the dressier bracelet watches. Reeboks, Tretorns, boots ofj all types, Docksiders, colored flats, and Bass camping mocs dominated footwear this year. Many students chose to com- plete their look with brightly colored scrunched socks or matching hose. All in all. the Richwoods school body was the epitome of style during the ■$7-’8S school year.
