Teachers ex- pected high standards from the students and the stu- dents had higher expecta- tions of themselves. By dis- covering new fads and lifes- tyles, students intended to set themselves apart. How- ever, student life at C.D.S didn't end there. 8!Student Life The opening of the new Snack Bar and the privilege of bring- ing sodas into the lunchroom was one change the student body enjoyed and frequently exercised. The controversy over the seniors' privilege to a lounge seemed to be sidelined for at least one more year. The whole school showed extra en- thusiasm and support for their athletic teams during RED! WHITE day, and all Friday 'Shirt Days. When looking back at this colorful school year, memories remain of the good times had with friends, the dedication and humility learned on the playing fields, and the durabil- ity and mental toughness need- ed to survive at such a demand- ing private school. Whether they will be good memories, e pecially for the Class of 198 or memories we would ratha forget, the 1986-87 school yez will be remembered as the yez in which all of us stopped t examine who we were, wher we were going, and what we e pected along the way. by Chip Reichardt, Editor U.

A significant number of students this year decided. to take up a new and colorful. fad - wrist bracelets. Brace-i lets were only for girls, or so, most people had thought.. But students didn't seem toi mind any preconceptions. These bracelets first, emerged at Country Day last year, but were considered commonplace in '87. Water polo and football players even wore them during A EW KI K T0 -- ADWSOEY games. .Usually they were made by girlfriends, howev- er, some students ventured out and made them on their own. To make the bracelets, you take three or more pieces of different colored string all of equal length. Braid the pieces of string and tie them together to complete the bracelet around your wrist. The only method of remov- ing the colorful band from your wrist is by untying the the string. But, as the bracelets were a fad, they were sure to go the way of the hula hoop or Rubik's Cube. However, as Doug Bitting predicts, These bracelets are so pop- ular among the lower grades, it is unlikely they will die out after this year. if by Pele i uthrika 2 Red brick, white sum, jacket: Reis knot, or in some cases cutting Everyday, the lowerg schoolers played football, onl and off the field.

One carpool driver said, I love it, all those little kids playing in their nice clothes, but don't they get dirty? No, one student replied, we only play touch. When asked if the smell bothered them or their teachers, an- other student replied, No it doesn't bother us or our teachersg we just look tired and sweaty. Lower schoolers also played advisory football on Friday afternoons, right before lunch. This involved l0fNew Pads the lower school, the other between Warson Road and the library. Did they enjoy the early morning and Fri- day afternoon scrimages? The answer was an unani- mous, Yes! One student went as far to say, It's great.
