. SfivUtup fata Styie Individuality became the style for spring. Everyone tried to be different and establish their own look. While attempting to be original we ended up just like everyone else and fit into a style category such as trendy, preppy, punk, skater or casual. The trendy and preppy looks were closely related and consisted of turtle necks, bubble skirts, ruffle skirts, short skirts, tight stretch pants. 50 ' s suits, and patent leather shoes, belts, and purses. The main color was black, which was contrasted with almost any color of the rainbow to separate the trendy and preppy looks from the all- black punk look. Patterns such as houndstooth, checkers, plaid, and polka dots completed both looks. Concert t-shirts with ripped jeans were tell-tale signs of the punk heavy metal look. Dressed in black from head to toe, they polished it of with chains, long earrings, long hair for heavy metal guys and girls, and spiky hair from black to pink or purple for punk guys and girls. Skaters were seen all over campus with their skateboards in hand. They distinguished themselves by wearing long shorts and t- shirts made by Maui ' n ' Sons, Gotcha, Vision Street Wear, Santa Cruz, or Town ' n ' Country. Team Bangs. long bangs hanging in their faces, with the rest of their hair short, was the hairstyle for skaters. Their shoes were high-top or low- top Vans or high-tops by Vision Street Wear, Bones, or Airwalk. Casual dressers appeared to be the most relaxed. Cotton skirts and stretch pants were the main elements of their style. Shirts with collars, button- down shirts, mock turtlenecks, and sweaters or sweatshirts finished their The more they tried to be different, the more the same seniors Annie Mitchell, Alise Keil. and Kari Workman are in their stretch pants. outfits. Shoes were anything from sandals to pumps, including low, lace-up boots and high boots. Casual colors were pastels and light shades of earthtones. Leather was the one thing worn by people in all style categories after receiving leather jackets and skirts for Christmas. The most popular leather item was the brown, distressed bomber jacket. No matter what category we fit into, the key to style in the spring was to be ourselves and let the way we dressed make our statement. To show her individuality, sophomore Candy Rodriguez kicks it with friends in the quad at lunch in her black and plaid attire. For juniors and seniors it was their third shirt following Saints Do It In The Stands and Saints Do It ... With Style. Over 150 students purchased the shirts and wore them with spirit as the weather got warmer. . , 72 Student Jlty ..

Pniace4 e wte Ccct 7 ' PC y The air was turning cold, first quarter was coming to a close, and Homecoming was on everyone ' s mind. This Homecoming is gonna be great! said senior Chris Stotts during the week of activities. And it was. It all started the last week of October with the nominating of the top ten senior court which ended up being top eleven due to a tie. At the end of the week, the top five were announced and everyone was anxious to vote for the queen. But before anyone could vote, there had to be activities at lunch for the princesses. A.S.B. organized humiliating competitions for the princesses, beginning with a jello-eating contest on Monday, a water balloon toss on Tuesday, and a hot legs contest on Wednesday. They ended the activities with a three-legged race and a card game played by passing a card from person to person by mouth called suck and blow on Thursday. Princess Margaret Walker thought that the jello- eating contest was the most embarrassing. Nikki Kramer pushed my face in the jello and I got it all over me! she said. Some students spent their after-school hours helping construct floats for the parade around the district field track on the night of the Homecoming game. This year was special because each class designed and entered a float in the parade. It was exciting because everyone was trying to make their float the best, said junior Christy Reynolds. With the activities over and the floats for the parade almost finished, the only thing left to do was wait to see which princess would be crowned queen.
