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

Doing without Students found that they could do with or without various items from the SAT, the lunch menu, riding the bus and paddlings. Ding. ding, ding . . . The bell has already rang, but its only the 8:15 bell, so Missy de- cides to chat with her friends a while longer. She spoke too soon be- cause a few seconds later the sound of the infamous come and get it bell is heard coming in her direction. Oh. drats. it's the stu- pid cow bell!'' she thinks. Students dislikes confronted them eight hours a day and five days a week. They ranged from the 8:15 bell cow bell to the caf- eteria food. The food is alright sometimes, but some- times the food has been left over for so long that the barbecue looks like a cheese- burger. freshman She- qunada Tobnes said. It could use some im- provement. Tobnes said. Improvement was al- so needed in school work in order for stu- dents to continue to play sports. Students felt the no pass, no play rule was unfair, yet there were others who had mixed views. I dis- like it because at one time I was flunking a class and needed that particular grade to keep playing. One class can mess you up. soccer captain Killjan Ander- son said. The 8:15 rule really seems to get students upset, especially if they need to get to lockers or just don't feel like be- ing clustered on the main floor with other students. I don't think the rule makes much sense. Sometimes its so crowded on the first floor that its hard to pass down the hall. senior Maria Ruiz said. The things that irri- tate students the most is the cow bell. I feel that'the cow bell is pret- ty stupid because we know the bell has rung Bus sick Students who didn't have their own means of transpor- tation had to settle for the school bus. Getting off the bus Shelley Garcia looks op- timistic. Food blues The cafetena food was a ma- jor complaint among stu- dents. While eating lunch jun- ior Trela May chats with junior Angel Ceacy. Photo by J. Carsterphen and we have a few min- utes left. It's really a waste of time, fresh- man Candy Chandler said. Transportation was a major dislike among students, especially when one didn't have a car. The means of transportation ranged from the bus to parents. It's so tiring having to get up early every morning just to take the school bus. junior Chuck Gann said. The things students hated to think about were the punishment rules. Suspension, in- house and licks were the choices students had to choose from. The saying Rules were meant to be bro- ken did not always pay off. The last time I was in in-house, it was bor- ing and we couldn't go to sleep, so there was nothing for us to do! senior Kim Thomas said. These dislikes and others are what stu- dents faced each day. As everyone begin to scatter. Missy fig ures it's a waste to tr to talk any longer. Sh picks up her books jus m time to hear th« warning bell. It's def initely time to get t class now! she thinks Rhonda Johnson Waking up I wish school would start at about 9:30 instead of 8:30. This way. I could get more sleep in the morning and be able to func- tion in school better Getting up early in the morning is not one of my favorite things to do. I also don't like those cow bells that are used to signal students to get to class, because they make me ner- vous. I think the regular bells are enough.
