“Feet»” of Fashion as shown by (top to bottom) Geoff Hewlett. Kris Wlenke. Janet Bolinger, and Geoff Hewlett again. Vests and polo shirts are the fashion choice for Kim Jesch, Julie Kiser, and Jane Zolvinski. TUDENT STYLE The students at RHS that fill the halls say a great diversity of things about themselves with their clothes. To an outsider, this system may seem quite intricate and confusing. On the contrary, it’s simple to decipher the messages conveyed. You must only know the general classifications students fall into: 1) Nerd-these people are characterized by slightly flaring “no name” pants, a plaid button down shirt with cuffs and collar completely buttoned, clunky tennis shoes, white socks (always), and hair that is a little shaggy and long- coated with a little-more-than- acceptable amounts of oil. Says one typical nerd, “I like to go to the library during lunch, drink sprite, and figure out math problems.” 2) “G” guys-they strut down the halls with an aromatic cloud of Polo enveloping them. They wear tapered dark blue jeans or pleated dress pants, a sweater and shirt with a little flair- maybe a bright stripe, or two, and penny loafers shined to a gloss. The shoes are sometimes so shiny that the guys can use them sneakily as mirrors. 3) Jocks-they wear the same type of clothes-sporty-for all occasions. Whenever you overhear them talking, it’s always on the subject of athletics. “Gym shoes with everything” is their fashion motto. 4) Preppies-clasic is their middle name. Clothing in this category is unisex. A typical outfit is old, loose jeans, 100% Shetland wool crew neck or cardigan sweater (embelished with a member of the animal kingdom just below the left shoulder) turtleneck-polo-or oxford underneath, and worn-out deck shoes with thick wool socks. The girls complete their outfit with a strand of pearls and gold jewelry and the guys wear a nice watch with a leather band. 5) Pre-fabs-hours and hours of work are put in to make this finished product. Their “crowning glory” is permed, moussed, blown-dry hair sprayed and contorted to achieve their desired look. Their make-up is painstakingly applied, although a little heavy on mascara. Cropped jeans, a tank top underneath a v-neck sweater (with a “V” in the back), and flats-NEVER, EVER with socks-compose their uniform. Sometimes, these girls will venture into the realm of fad clothing and will come out wearing something “daring”-a miniskirt, or flowered (“Do these look right”) jeans. -Lori Scott 12 Student Life

Is it “Christine’ ? No, it’s senior Karen Bailey’s 1968 Chevrolet Belair. The license plate on Greg McBride’s 1985 Ford Mustang shows his affinity for having the advantage in tennis. Sisters Jill and Janel Mejean lead the pack into the first day of school. 14 Student Life Riding a motorcycle is an alternative way to get to school. One popular way to show school spirit is by putting stickers on your car, like this one showing who is 1.
