Fashion captures individuality Ever since the beginning of man people, especially students, have been using fashion to express their individuality. Fashion makes a state- ment and the style of clothes one wears was used to express one's personalities and attitudes. A person's style was influenced by many different sources including music, sports, ethnic background, and activities. Last year some students expres- sed their individuality through their style of clothes, whether it was spiked hair and black attire to mini skirts and leather jackets each per- son staked claim to his or her own original style. Many times style was used as a tool for finding a common interest. Since style revealed a person's personality and attitude, distin- guishing different groups on cam- pus proved simple. Some of the groups were deter- mined by music such as the wild style where both boys and girls withdrew to spiked hair, black cloth- AM 1 'N 4 .-w-pr- es, and combat boots. One would assume that this type of style was influenced by New Age, and Euro- pean type of music. Another group influenced by both their love of the farm life and country western music, expressed their attitudes by wearing the ever popular Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots and hats. Taking a break from the strange many kids were seen sporting the leather bomber jacket brought in with the i'Top Gun rage, mini skirts which have been in circulation since the 6O's, and the newest type ofjean, acid wash, which were given special care to make them look as old and worn as possible. Still to this day sport lovers display their lettermen jackets in both rain and shine, sleet of snow and dark of night. With each style came a difference of opinion, and a difference of attitudes, but one thing that every- one shared in common was the use of fashion to create the indivi- dual. by Jennifer Jacobs photos by David Lyon 5.

What do you mean the copy machine's not working? Bonk! Okay, who forgot to set the bell for rally schedule? Swoosh! Oh well, we didn't need another bathroom any- way. Scream! Can't go on. Faint. Silence. Tick tick. Tick tick. Tick tick. The faculty was kept busy with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges pro- gram, the accreditation pro- cess that occurs every six years. The accreditation pro- cess rates high schools as either good or poor. The changing over of su- perintendents, Ellerth Larson was replaced by Neil Schmidt, caused even more disruption as the new super- intendent proceeded to evoke his own standards as he further pointed out many dif- ferent teaching styles. ln order for the faculty to get away from the grind, they shared in a little self-support. They formed baseball and volleyball teams, accompan- ied by a once a month party. The parties helped teachers divided by the split schedule to get reacquainted and com- miserate about classroom gar- ble. All in all, the year started with a smooth opening, and was a success with each fa- culty member working to- gether for the benefit of the team. by Robin Saxen Academic Division 65 ff, 1
