ad 6 ' fashion '87 Renaissance means rebirth, so it's the perfect term to describe fads 'n' fashions of '86-'87, Llsually, fads and fashions come and go as quickly as night and day, but '86-'87 was an excep- tion. Sure, styles came and went, but they were styles that had already come and gone in the past. The year's styles were basically a cul- tural mish-mash of past eras. From the 40's there were the oversized shirts and sweaters, from the 50's the high-top sneakers, full and straight skirts, pony- tails with big bows, and bobby socksg from the 60's came the boots, large sil- ver hoop earrings, and black turtleneck sweater-dresses, from the 70's there were the rhinestone-studded clothing and Ked's canvas sneakers. Fortunate- ly, bell-bottom pants stayed back in the 7O's, where they belong. Other fads 'n' fashions of the years: lil What's blue and pink and black and white all over? The year's colors, for one. Blue chambray and pink were pop- ular with girls in blouses, skirts and printed pants. Colors were either soft and blended or bright and sharply con- trasting. Black and white were often worn together, especially in knit sweat- ers and skirts. lil As usual, labels, like Forenza, Guess?, Generra, and Levi's, were big sellers. The biggest newcomer, howev- er, must have been Outback Red with their Australian-inspired blouses, lO-but- ton shirts, and jeans. Banana Republic was another big name specializing in travel clothing from around the world, and many Salpointe students could be seen sporting Minister of Propaganda T-shirts and the like. E As for hairstyles, it was back to the basics. Gone was the day of the gravity- defying do. lnstead, hair was left natural and was often tied up with everything from brightly colored ribbons to terry- cloth ponytail holders to elastic neck- lace candy. The guys, inspired by the movie Top Gun, imitated the look of Tom Cruise Calthough they'd never ad- mit itj by clipping their locks shorter and parting it on the side. U On the fads scene, auto accessories such as car visors and Baby on Board signs and their counterparts fi.e., Ex- husband in trunkj became trendy in the parking lot. Re-popularized fads from the past included teddy bears, which became much more visible with the be- ginning of the Teddy Bear Club, and gum, which became a sudden hit imme- diately after its being outlawed at the beginning of the school year. Outside of school, the Monkees re- vived their popularity after repeats of their off-beat television show were run on MTV. Also, the cartoon The Far Side, by Gary Larson, kept students in stitches with its satirical and sometimes even strange sense of humor. Without a doubt, 1986-'87 was a year full of past trends with a new 80's twist, proving that fashion is timeless and that some styles are just too cool to die. Salpointe students simply have too much sense to let good fashions fade! --wwwgtmtf -att-,z.1ti,1sfa-,Msow, , 1 at 2-fwfskkt 'iztiriwziiiawiiziiw-pie? am p-..-,1f, ' X-FXZNQW wi stem-twm-,.1w r1 f-MW W - . swirl -122. f . at -V ' Q- lisa 1 2-.2 'XK31-Estes?-tzsitatviieitgtigtawife-221221 .t u s lim i t w ,tmg,.

-. . new approach to drug awarenes I don't view it so much as a change as I do a growth, explained Fr. Leo McCarthy. O. Carm.. referring to the new policy installed in 1986 at Salpointe to deal with chemical abuse among stu- dents. The program was founded by Fr. Roy Conry, O. Carm., one of the school counselors, after he attended a week- long workshop on drug and alcohol abuse and treatment called Break- through presented by Westcenter. Upon his return from the workshop, a faculty-parent committee was estab- lished to develop Salpointe's new pro- gram. The new policy stated that any stu- dent possessing or using illegal drugs or alcohol would be suspended for five to ten days. The student would then re- ceive counselingfor his or her problem, either from a school counselor or from a non-school agency that dealt with chemical addiction. After the third of- fense, the student would be expelled with no right of appeal. According to the old policy, a student would have been . fflijfil5:i:i?i3ff?:1fit7Ll:fffozifffifff'5fj,fl.75ljQ:.E:llfl: -.itgsgrfffi fxgiifss ws! my . S-M Drafting Brad McElligott, '90, Fr.

We want to help the students who have a problem, rather than weed them out, said Fr. Roy. Student reactions to the policy change were varied. Among the opin- ions offered: Q The new policy is good because it shows that Salpointe cares about its stu- dents and is willing to give them a sec- ond chance. - Kara Lynn Struble, '88. lil They're just opening the doors for people to bring drugs into the school. - Amanda Jones, '88. E It's fair, because it's letting the stu- dents be responsible for their own deci- sions. - Danielle Bianchi. '89. On October ist, Salpointe's student body participated in Drug Awareness Week by attending a presentation given by Fr. Leo Booth, a world-renowned speaker and recovering alcoholic, who spoke about drug and alcohol addic- tions and their common symptoms. Many students found the assembly helpful. I feel that the assembly brought insight to our understanding of alcoholism, expressed Jim Naughton. '89, The same night, a meeting was held for parents concerned about the drug situation at Salpointe. Dr. Paul Crowley, Director at Westcenter, discussed the signs of drug and alcohol use and how to prevent or deal with the problem at home. Society's drug and alcohol problem really hit home on October lst, the same day as Salpointe's drug assem- blies, when four Salpointe swimmers were hit by a drunk driver while driving home from a swim meet. Thankfully, all of the students recovered from their in- juries, but the misfortune emphasized the seriousness of the problem to Sal- pointe students. I think that people were more aware of drunk driving be- cause it became a reality and not just statistics, explained Jenny Farley. '88.' -m.,-. .. . M ,Q .wg f 5- W : .f .-.- ,., ......- .f.f.2. I...
