Our World Of Styles Do you go to Crazy Horse or Pavlova’s to get your hair styled? Do you buy only Chanel make up? Do you wear Calvin Klein and Betsy Johnson, or are Hawaiian shirts more your wave? People seem to be going for more of the expensive “in” styles each year. It wasn’t unusual to walk around school and see flowered jeans, European shoes, trench coats, and long dresses with loose belts. Long, short, or inbetween were the “in” styles for hair. Long perms were sexy. The bobbed styles were the cute look, and punk was the word for anyone that had short hair. 1986 was a year of changes. If someone didn’t like the color of their hair, they changed it. If blue denim wasn’t for you, the jeans got bleached. If nice and neat wasn’t your thing, looking like Madonna was acceptable. Mom and Dad always told us, “Be what you want to be”, so we did. We called it the “in” styles, but later on in life people will be saying it was our individual characteristics that make us what we are. Personal appearances wasn’t the only thing that got branded “style.” Cars, local hang-outs, movies, Clinch Park, and certain sporting events were branded as “ins.” With technology comes changes. Our world is a world with styles that come and go. When the styles have gone, they’re what make us what we are. Style is not a dirty word, but a word filled with character, just like the class of ’86. Laura Flaherty models her French style outfit. « You could often see Lauren Begelv walking around school in the newest fashions. Sean O’Keefe liked to dress in his own fashion style. 15

Some people choose to decorate their cars to fit their personalities. In almost all types of weather. Steve Bram-mer used his moped for transportation. Our World Of Transportation A large percentage of the students at the Senior High depend on buses for their transportation to and from school. Some students drive their own vehicles while others hitch rides from family members and friends. The last most common way of transportation to school is by foot. Students that live within a mile and Yi radius of the High School did not have assigned buses, therefore some chose to walk. These are th most common types of transportation used, but not the only kinds. On warmer days students rode motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, and even skateboards. Students were judged individually on their need to drive to school. In most cases, only the students that were in sports, students in co-op, and students that needed transportation for certain classes, were able to get parking permits. The ratio of students to parking spaces was no where near equal, therefore the students that met the requirements received permits before others. There was a section chained off in the front row of the parking lot for motorcycles. Bicycles, and mopeds could be chained to bars by E building and by the main office. As for skateboards, they were usually kept in lockers. Many students complained about having to ride buses to school because they were crowded and because they had to get up early to walk to the bus stop. Biding the buses didn't last forever, so people eventually stopped complaining about them. Then the new talk was, “Who's driving that Fiero?” “How long has she had that Fiat?”, and “Is that truck his own?” Becky Voice and Anne Parsons depend on their legs for short distant travel. 17
