Formal 18 for anything. Meowl says Rachel Cox. Mickey’s never out of style with Alan Peterson. Each year has it’s fashion headlines, and the 1983-84 school year was no exception. Suprisingly enough, the trend's evolved mostly from old favor- ites. Denim took on a whole new stance. It was “over-dyed,” pin-stripped, or stonewashed, and style’s ranged from traditional straightlegs to the 50’s style, tight ankle-jeans, to pleat- ed baggies. Denim did not stop at the legs, however, as denim jackets were worn by many. Old favorite tops also took on a new look. T-shirts became status sym- bols, advertising everything from clubs to Panama Jack tanning lotion to vacation spots. Comfy sweatshirts were twined into high fashion by stra- tegic ripping of the neck and sleeves, Flashdance” style. Rock-n-roll made a definite fashion statement with students. The hallway crawled with shirts purchased at con- certs. Many were beginning to think they had seen every ‘Def Leppard’T- shirt ever made! Buttons of favorite groups and singers were donned on jackets, shirts, and pocketbooks. Ear-piercing had come a long way from ice-cubes and needles. Many found it a new way in which to be original. With many girls having multi- pierced ears and a large, interesting array of earrings; several guys also decided to take the plunge to have an ear pierced. It was the start of a large trend. Accessories took on a new look. Ban- dana’s were used often as belts and headbands. Bright plastic was preva- lent in shoes and jewelry. Though traditional winter clothes were widely worn, many students strived to spice up their look. Sweat- ers, guaranteed to warm you, body and soul, took fall by suprise with new vests, classic argyle’s, and the sporty shawl collars seen widely around campus. Many students reached for big, super-sized sweat- ers to chase the chills away. Knock- out knits done up in harvest colors, styled with the comfort and ease of menswear, not only kept students feeling warm, but looking good also. For a bounce in their step and jaunty good looks, many students put their best foot forward with new stylish aerobic shoes. Stripes, along with colorful hearts, plus basic bright so- lids were also among the many sights up on the hid.

 Show us your stuff Kevin Peters. Though totally disgusting and quite grotesque, you are a definite 10 Jim Morehead. Lay it on him Timmy Dunn. The Great American Dweeb The 1983-84 school year was filled with all types of people doing all sorts of things. Some of the people were far out, some were kinda cool, and some were just plain “Dweeby.” Many stu- dents asked, ‘‘What is a Dweeb? Dweeb: (DwSb) n. a Geebish non.” “A Geebish Non?” A Geebish Non! In any case, the Macho Dweebs” of Science Hill helped bring out the spirit of the Topper student body. When- ever some body” wanted to be no- ticed, the Dweeb pose arose. We could always find the dweebs posing in front of windows, mirrors, and es- pecially cameras. It seemed that a camera never failed to bring out that dweeb in all of us. We may not have shown it outwardly, but all of us felt it in our hearts. Everywhere we looked we saw those macho dweebs. They could be found not only on the sports scene” but also walking around the Science Hill hallways. It was not uncommon for the dweebs to come out for football or basketball practice and, in fact, there were more of them when a girl just happened to be around. There never was a time when we could not scan the scene and find some stud strut- ting down the hall. But let us not limit these creatures to one sex only. In fact, the female population at Science Hill provided an enormous percentage of dweebs. There never existed a girl in the bathroom alone, always in a pair. There, they spent the entire sev- en minutes provided for going to their locker and ended up being late to a class. The dweebs ran around whis- pering secrets and giggling in a sophomoric” style. We could never forget that each of us had a little dweeb in us, and this provided for an unusual side to the hill. Student Life 23
