Fashion is a form of self-expression using shape, color, texture, and budget to say something about oneself. Here at Rogers there are increasing numbers of diverse fashions. Where it used to be fashionable to dress as closely alike as possible, the pendulum has now swung to the reverse: different is in . This year there are the usual sprinkling of clean-cut neat preppies. Football jerseys, cheerleading uniforms, letter sweaters, letter jackets, and various other blue and gold paraphernalia, showing where you belong, is an integral part of any high school experience, and Rogers is no exception. Sweatshirts, those classic unisex articles of clothing, are also still running strong. They announce favorite rock groups, proclaim the year of graduation, name drop prospective universities, sororities, and fraternities, or say any other message you feel the world needs to know. This year a few new trends have run rampant through our halls. On any given day, neon brights can be seen lighting up the halls within a radius of about 30 feet, which is useful when you want to be seen by someone . Another trend is the one involving denim. This durable form of cotton fabric has been striped, stonewashed, cropped, cuffed, patched, and wrinkled to get a variety of unique looks. The guys have strived to get that G look this year by wearing trenchcoats, wingtips, argyles, 501 jeans, leather jackets, and of course, polos and oxfords. Rogers is definitely a reflection of the larger fashion world which promotes the individual electric look of the eighties. -Lori Scott 14 Student Life

School Board, get involved. -Bill Smith, parent 15 We've grown in the process. The experience we've had I never want to go through again. This really is a new day in M.C. and there are so many things we can do. -Clyde Zeek, superintendent 14 I just hope we can all put this aside and if we can do that in- ternally and externally, we will be all right. -Bernard Lootens, RHS teacher keStrike StrikeStrikeStrikeStrikeStrikeStrikeStrikeStrikeStr
