Classy Lifestyles, Or Fads? Each year births new fads and styles. This year was no different. One of the most popular things was the “midas touch,” this is where the guys shave parts of their hair off. Many girls had gold shoes, purses, and other accessories. Silver was also a favorite with the females. The sparkle of rinestones on overalls, jeans, blouses, socks, and belts could also be seen in the halls of REL. One of the fad followers, junior Genetle Fishesser, says, “I like these styles because they’re different and brighten up the room.” Patricia Rin- con stated, I like things that shine and are noticeable.” Gold shoes are cute and were bought for one of my outfits,” commented Sandy Gon- zales, sophmore. However, some people do not care for the gold shoes. Maria Resendez said, ”1 don’t K«ll«y Hawk arv J Ginger Ho» » test while wearing th style. denimen jacket and ankle bool like them because everyone else is wearing them. Not only did the clothes and accessories bring out the new ways and fashions, but the hair- cuts changed with the trend also. For the varsity squad line-up, it was a new way of celebrating a winning year. As for the rest of the student body, it was a way of getting atten- tion. Mark Munoz said, I cut my hair this way because I wanted to be dif- ferent, but then it became so com- mon. “It’s cool and I wanted to be rebellious,” said Steven Guidry. Joe Guzman said, I like it. and wanted to get one, but just never got around to it.” And for junior, Chris Cryer, “1 did it because I'm a hard core.” There was a big upset at the begin- ning of school with all of these new fads, especially with the new hair- cuts. Many students who were asked Jason Chappel viy» My future it o bright.

Therefore 1 think that extremes in dress and appear ance that may lead to disruption and or distraction should be discour aged,” stated Mr. Earl Lankford.

Monday was Putt-Putt. Tuesday was movie night, Wednes- day was church or bowling night. Thursday was JV game or pizza night, and Friday was the Homecom- ing game at Stallworth Stadium to compete against the Dobie Longh- orns. “There was a lot of tension because it was our Homecoming game,” commented Joe Guzman, a senior. However, Lee came away with a 27 to 16 victory over Dobie. During the half-time performance. Patrice Hornberger was crowned 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. The night following the game was when students of REL had a chance to come and enjoy a “Night on the Town.” Deed Dupont commented, “1 thought the dance was pretty good, the setting was real nice. The dance began at 8:00 p.m. and lasted until 12:00 a.m. in the Lee Com- mons. Robin Nelson, a senior, re- marked, We didn't get there until it was almost over, and we didn’t stay long either. Spencer Conner, a sen- ior, replied, I didn’t go to the dance, and I’m not upset about missing it.” Although there were good and bad opinions of the dance, everyone app- peared to be happy with the victori- ous game.
