f Aiming to please Many students took on the responsibility of balancing school with their after school jobs. Mr. Steele. I am un- able to come in to work today because ... uh, my goldfish died and I have to go to its funer- al. Sara Employee desperately said the only excuse she could think of to get her out of working so that she could study for her ex- ams. Sara like many other students was a victim of having to work and go to school at the same time. Some students worked both weekdays and weekends which caused them little or no problems. I am able to keep up my grades and fit what I need to fit into my schedule. junior Tim Pytlewiez said. To others it caused an un- desired problem. 'With all the pressures we have, who needs an ad- ditional pressure of having to work and keep up grades. That's why I only work week- ends.” freshman Tim McDonald said. Another burden was inflicted by teachers' home assignments. Teachers just fail to realize that some stu- dents work, and give us unreasonable due dates which make it vir- tually impossible for someone like me to keep up. I do try. even though, it means stay- ing up late. junior Tim- othy Lehman said. All in all. work was a task that students were willing to take. It does take up a lot of week- end. but it is something that you have to put up with if you want the ex- tra money. sopho- more Patricia Moya said. Working was an es- sential part of a stu- dent's lire whether they worked the full week or just weekends. It was a form of receiving extra money, and gave stu- dents a sense of ac- complishment. As for Sara, she would have to go to work anyway. Oh well. Sara said. I guess that's life.

Many students worked in order to pay for extra expenses acquired dur- ing the school year. Photo by Nelson Grady s2 £nt LIFE • Working Students

Photo by T Jeffers Making a statement Being a freshman means trying to fit in with the crowd One great way to be known is by the way you wear your clothes Freshmen Erika Zonta. Melinda Davis and Samira Kaid stand m the student center Photo by B Belt You’ve got the look I don't have a thing to wear! Debra said, as she stumbled over a pile of clothing which had accumulated on the floor from trying on sev- eral different outfits. Debra, like many other students, is fashion conscious. Many stu- dents had their own way of dressing. Basi- cally. it was to impress and express. To some people, fashion meant dressing their own way to bring out their personalities. I don't care what oth- ers say about my style of dressing. What I wear reflects me. I don't believe that peo- ple should dress in a way that isn't them- selves. freshman Ma- ria Chavira said. Other students did In blue jeans and denim jackets, acid washed clothes start a new craze in students’ dress. not feel that fashion was really not that im- portant. In my opinion, fashion is not one of my priorities. I just have too many other things to worry about. sopho- more Brian Givens dividual, some students felt that certain clothes were fashionable. For girls. I think the acid-washed clothing is fashionable. I think it is like that for guys too. jun- ior Candice Swindle said. Most students would agree, regardless of their different opinions, that you dressed the way you felt. Fashion is madi up of yourself and i: versatile to the wa' you feel. — Annette Villarrea said. On the other hand, dressing in style and having that all- together look was im- portant to some stu- dents. I dress how I want to dress, but I have to admit that I usu- ally tend to go for trends and stylish cloth- ing because I want to look my best, senior Gary Holman said. Although fashion re- ally depended on the in- Clothes of the crowd? What i$ fashion? Webster's Dictionary defines it by way of manner and current style. The fashion of the many people of Skyline range from New Wave to the Classically conservative. It had been said that the clothes a person wears makes a statement about himseif herseif i believe a person should decide what he she wants to wear by his her likes and dislikes, not by what the crowd is wearing. ' for it is also said that uniqueness sets a person above the rest. ' Phuong Nguyen. 11 Personally Speaking NT LIFE • Fashion
