Quibbling F The word ‘rivalry’ brings memories of sporting events, but for students from ST. it also brings up thoughts of vandalism and fights. Ever since January 1975. when approximately 1300 stu- dents were transferred from Oak Grove to Santa Teresa, competition has been tough between the arch rival schools. This year it reached an all time high. The Saints, after so many years of de- feat. had much success with their athletic and academic teams against the Eagles. Logically, the Eagles were slightly bitter about it; which is not to say that the Saints never were in the past. Things started getting out of hand at the Homecoming football game. Predicted to be the most exciting game of the season for both schools, spirits were running wild and more than passes were thrown back and forth be- tween the crowds. Some the paraphenalia includi cans of coke, loose chanjj rude gestures, and insul Both schools were vand i .ed and personal proper was destroyed. Students' feelings rang- from wanting to set fire Oak Grove, to not cari what happens, to wanting build a camaraderie with I school and its people.

Heading out for tho day. Sneaking out of yearbook during the year was perfected to an art. as shown here by bud- dies Mike McMahon and Sean Grace. Leaving early usually resulted in a stem lecture the next day. but the benefits made it worthwhile. How can we stay all cooped up inside on a day as nice as this? Asked Sean.

The Esprit sponded w ith a mature ar- de that apologized for the tions but. rightfully, did »t take full blame. By Su- nne Melson. A Stylish Memory The scene was set. Last minute preparations had been made. The Black Stu- dent Union Fashion Show was under way. Beginning with casual wear and ending with a stunning array from Princess Fashions and Gin- giss Forma I wear, the BSU modeled everything from acid washed jeans, to gow ns and tuxedos, and everything in between. The production was di- rected almost entirely by BSU officers Nieki Tolliver and Scott Edwards. Joe Pearson. BSU member and model at the show, summed up the evening by admitting, With the little cooperation we received from the advi- sors. the show turned out fairly well.” The culprit for the show's problems was a lack of advisory help from the school. Ed Vierra ex- plained the advisory problem by saying, The advisor was sick, w hat could we do?” The Black Student Union was also involved with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rally. The BSU's involve- ment in the rally consisted of a remembrance speech by Joe Pearson and a dance by the BSU members. The pur- pose of the rally was to get a point across, this is the place where the dream starts. This statement reflects the feelings of the individuals who took part in the rally. The BSU wanted to have the audience realize that a lot has changed but still not enough, with the success of the rally their dreams be- come reality. Joe Pearson re- flected his thoughts by stat- ing We have to begin here, in the school, to make the dream. By Darin Walker. Fits of Fashion Faster than you can say, “Charge it.” More powerful than the re- volving door at Blooming- dale’s. It’s a bracelet, it’s a shirt, it’s . . . Surtey says ... Out of a hundred stu- dents surveyed, the majority preferred to dress individually rather than to follow fashion trends. So much for peer pres- sure ... What happened? Vour friends thought acid-washed denim was cute. So did you. So you snagged your mom's credit card and bought the neatest little out- fit. a jacket, jeans, and even an acid-washed purse to match. You wore it to school. Ev- eryone said you looked hot and pronounced your new outfit darling. So you wore it again next week ... but this time every- one thought you looked so declasse that you realized it would've been safer to wear the Duran Duran t-shirt you bought in seventh grade. And now your mom has just figured out where the $375.00 under “Junior Sportswear’’ came from. Nordstrom's has put a lien on your bike. You have to pawn your French Club fun- draising candy. What went wrong? Don't worry, it's not your fault! You were simply a vic- tim of the fashion phase. Fashion changes so rapidly that something's out as fast as it's in ... even though your credit card's still warm from buying it. Students sported beach- wear during the warm days of September through mid- October. When things got chilly, people favored the mod look. Anything in brown, olive-green, and most of all black, was considered stylish. Big sweaters, wool minis- kirts, patent leather, and black tights were popular. . . and don't forget bold jewel- ry. Long, dark coats turned students into very Mata Hari types. Prep dressing also per- sisted. Acid-washed clothing dominated casual dressing, mainly in jackets, jeans, and the cver-popular denim mini. Basic sweaters in classic crcwncck styles were every- th here. For those who wanted to dress up. straight skirts, usually in shorter lengths, along with simple blouses and pumps were often seen on campus. In contrast, sweatshirt de- votees weren't disappointed, either: shirts ranging from plain, solid colors to shirts printed with “Harvard to shirts printed with beer ad- vertisements never went out of style. With the weather warm- ing up again, shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, and sandals arc back. All the campus needs is a little sand and a few palm trees strategically placed around the swimming pool to complete the mood. And the guys? Frankly, the way guys dress doesn't seem to change very much. Whatever a guy w ears seems to be all right, so long as it fits his style and doesn't scream; Pec-wee Herman is my role model! (It has al- ways puzzled the female spe- cies why males take approxi- mately 1 100 of the time girls take in deciding what to wear in the morning.) There's very little defense against fashion's fluctu- ations. You can either go with the flow” or put the world on hold and wear whatever you want. There's always that Duran Duran t-shirt!
