4 Opening r loo S6 clo 3 Policy, appearance require face 11ft to sta in shape A pass to leave school? For the first time, students staying alter school dur- ing CP fcommunications period! were required to have a pass to leave the building. This was not the only change that took place. One of the most noticeable was the new gym floor. Over the sum- mer the floor was stripped, sanded, painted, and vamished. The new floor, done in Columbia blue and gray, was modeled after those found in universi- ties. 'lAfter looking at some schools in Illinois, the coaches and I came up with the new floor. lt's one of the nicest in the area, said Mr. Ron Bonfiglio, athletic director. Cries of What time is it echoed through the halls when students found the minute bell had been eliminated. No longer were we given the waming signal which prompted us to get mov- ing. No minute bell was bad enough, but with it came the banning of the book bag. Because the bags were consid- ered a nuisance in both hallways and classrooms, the administration decid- ed to limit the use of the bags only while entering or exiting the building. Seniors began to resemble freshmen as they were forced to carry more books to their classes. lt's a pain hav- ing to run to your locker after every class. It would be just as easy carrying the locker itself, said Chris Urban, senior. By taking a closer look at the school, we realized that success meant change.

6 Opening O I0 SEI' Io EIC utside World creates impact on student styles What was hip for '87? Expressing our individualism through what we wore, said, and listened to. Being the first one on the block to . . was definitely in, When it came to fashion, there were leaders who dared to wear watches on their ankles and white Forenza socks and followers who took five months to figure out what the leaders were doing. Uliashion was a state of mind. If you believed you were fashionable you were no matter what the masses were wearing, said Denise James, senior. During a typical school day, words such as chill for its opposite ill i, lamo, and vogue could be heard. It seemed as if a fourth foreign lan- guage had been added to the curricu- lum. I used slang to spruce up stan- dard English. It added life to day-to-day language, said Elbert I-Ienley, junior. 1987 was the year of the comeback when it came to music. Thanks to MTV, the Monkees became a household word once again. Unfortunately, it also meant that we began buying old al- bums at present day prices. lt used to be that you could buy old music for under live dollars, but since the resur- gence of the sixties sound the prices have become updated, said Tim Shellberg, senior. Though being up on the latest trends sometimes meant becoming a con- formist, we managed to be Hin as well as singular. We took a closer look at the current styles and realized that be- ing in meant being ourselves.

Right: After the rains subsided, Tina Bona, Kris Lov- ell, Julie Nelson, and Dina Kartch take time out to splash around. Inset: Leading her babies to a nesting place is one of the many ducks who caused quite a stir by setting up housekeeping in the courtyard.
