BREAKING OUT of the Dress Code During 84-85 lace, neon and parachute pants were popular. For 85-86 it was big shirts, stirrup pants and shaker knits. Eighty- six eighty-seven brought on Cocoa Cola clothes, surf shirts and shades of khaki. But 87-88 has something different to offer to the fashion fad conscious. “It’s casual, yet stylish, the baggy easy look that’s not too tight or really big. Individ- ualists, ” is how Johnna Freeman, a sopho- more, described the current trends. Leather is one of the most popular and prestigious fashion staples. Leather trims, boots, pants, sweaters and jackets. Leather coats, bomber jackets, boots, belts and loaf- ers complement nearly every fashion-minded wardrobe. Jeans have changed too. They are no long- er just prewashed. They're stone-washed, bleached, dyed, bash damaged, frosted and acid washed. Styling has also been altered. Jeans are more tailored to individual tastes. Baggy, tight, pleated, tucked, pocketed or un- pocketed, straight, narrow or peg leg are all in style. Rolled and tucked at the ankle and ripped, frayed knees are personal touches many choose to add. Casual, dressy pants or trousers are rapidly gaining the popularity that jeans have with many students. Woven, textured, plaid, and plain baggy cotton or rayon slacks are a must for the soc-prep look. Knee length and shorter men s pattern shirts are a basic worn by a majority of female students. Combined with various tops and flat shoes it creates that look many desire. Turtlenecks and mock turtlenecks are also a hot item for both guys and girls. Worn with bombers, sweaters, skirts, jeans and knits, turtlenecks have become the “in” thing. Loose-fitting cable knit, textured, and wov- en sweaters made from cotton and wool are a big hit too. Cardigans offer versatile variety and add character, especially when they’re from Dad’s wardrobe. Traditionally worn tennis shoes have been replaced by penny loafers, leather moccasins, Keds and Converse high-tops. Tube socks are left in the drawer more often and instead short cotton or scrunched socks are worn. Color wise, brights and lights have taken the back seat to neutrals. Shades of navy blue, black, brown, gray and cream dominate the color scheme in the halls. AUTUMN STENSEN. CINDI Durkee, Rob Black, and Mike Witherite show off their unique sense of style. KEDS, SUEDES, AND penny loafers are seen daily on many traveled and weary feet. Jeans with strategically tom holes are also in vogue. 1 6—In troduction

This was the typical statement uttered by return- ing students at the beginning of the year. They were bombarded with changes occur- ring in areas from student parking to a new telecommunications system, from new sched- ules to new computers. The most talked about change was in stu- dent parking. Teachers ' reserved spaces were moved to the upper parking lot while student parking was changed from reserved to first- come, first-served. ” According to Vice Princi- pal Mike Funderburg. the main reason for the change was to reduce vandalism. We’re more concerned about student discipline problems, and since we (Funderburg and Se- curity Officer Dennis Daniels) aren’t having cars towed, we can spend more time on in- school discipline. Besides, towing was creat- ing bad relations with the parents. Funderburg commented that seniors voiced the most complaints since reserved parking has been a senior privilege. Funder- burg said, however, that competition for good parking spaces had helped diminish tardies by great amounts. Both counselors and students had a period of adjustment to go through with the install- ment of the new computers in the offices. The new units and software were purchased to simplify and make the scheduling system more efficient. The computers enabled staff members to read and manipulate schedules without searching through piles of paper. It also eliminated arguments between counsel- ors and students over placement in a specific class. Once the computer assigns a student to a teacher, it can 't be changed. Counselor Lon Welsh commented on his ‘Mean Green Machine,' It’s an unforgiving machine and beeps at you when you make errors. It’s not nearly as anxiety-producing as it was in the beginning even though I don’t know the theory of how it works. A satellite dish that provided telecommuni- cations programs to interested students was added to the curriculum. The only course offered this year was Japanese . The class was offered by Eastern Washington Universi- ty and carried community college credit. The class was beamed by satellite and its medium was television. The instructor could be ques- tioned by telephone. A great deal of self-moti- vation was needed according to Joan Koepke, SUHS staff member in charge of the program. The bell schedule that had been used for several years was modified. The change was because of favorable response from parents in Spring 1987. The new bell schedule had classes beginning ten minutes earlier, and as a result, afternoon dismissal was at 2:26. Two main reasons caused the change. Hew hours would better coordinate with the grade school bus schedules. An earlier dismissal would pre- vent athletes from missing large amounts of 8th period because of early departures for away games. In addition to A, B, and C schedules. Sched- ule D was added. This made a morning break easier to incorporate into the weekly sched- ule. The break was for a shorter amount of time than the usual morning break for an assembly. One change that took the administration by surprise was the enrollment boom. Although 1,060 students had been predicted, 1,192 were enrolled during registration. Curt Heath, Activities Director, stated, The increase was based on transfers and students we had not forecasted for. Another influencing factor was the expansion in the East County area. The change bringing the most relief was the purchase of fans for the classrooms. As the warm weather persisted into early November, the fans brought relief to sweltering classes. As the saying goes, The only thing in life that is constant is change. TEACHER PARKING SPACE number 114 takes up space where students previously had reserved spots. Introduction—5
