Familiar faces were seen and friends shared gossip, as they waited in line. I thought registration was fun, said senior Dylan Ellefson. You got to see all your friends again. People working at registration and those who had other things to do afterwards, showed up at 8 a. m., breaking the ice for the days to come when some alarms would be set for 5 a.m. Various stations were set up to sell and advertise different things. People seemed to gain confi- dence at each station because they were treated importantly, like they were a part of the school, said senior Reed Johnson, Pep Club Treasurer. Student Council sold directo- ries and the junior class officers sold Party Animal shirts for S8. However, few people bought smalls and mediums, requiring the junior officers to order addi- tional larges and extra-larges and selling smaller sizes to stu- 12 - Registration dents in middle school. When registration ended and school began , it went fast. Sophomores, juniors and seniors all fell into old routines, and ninth graders, fresh out of middle school, soon became adjusted to high school life. Drill team and band mem- bers had to be at school early on the second day for practice. And there was homework for some after the first day. The first week of school was fun, said sophomore Bridget Obrien, at least until I started getting all the work. No longer were sleeping in and staying up late possible once school started, at least sleeping late wasn't. Students tried but jobs, play rehearsals and sports got them out of bed early. However, as the first week of school went by, students came out of their dazes and realized that school wasn't so far-fetched after all.CCopy by Robin Kring!

They were stone and diamond washed, faded or just rolled up to reveal high tops and socks, but a few stuck to the tradition- al rolled-down look. They were the biggest fad and hottest style around : blue jeans. Practically everybody owned at least one pair of jeans. They became a staple of our wardrobes and a part of every- day life. Many liked them just because they were comfortable, others because they matched everything and were fashion- able. Junior Heather Lofflin said, They almost have characters by themselves. No pair was ever like others after being taken home, washed and special touches added to them, such as bleach- ing, or cutting out the knees. The style of jeans changed from tight, dark, Jordache to a loose-fitting, faded look. The price had also changed. Those old J ordache usually cost around 9530 a pair, while traditional Guess cost anywhere from S40 to S70. The brands also changed. Instead of main name brands being fashionable, it was loose-fitting, faded styles that were bought. - ot only were there denim jeans and jackets, but also a wide variety of clothing arti- cles and accessories. There were denim purses, mini-skirts and tight-fitting, long denim skirts with slits in the back. 'Iyvo arti- cles to come out of this fad were heavy denim shirts and denim boots with huge pockets on the sides. Plain old jeans have been in style for 15 years, said Sheryl Ninci, math teacher. People were just getting bored with them and wanted to put more style into it. Although denim everything was the hottest craze, no one knew if the denim fad would continue to grow or just fade away. fCopy by Kris Matlock! -. 'c
