Student life is not all tests and homework. There can also be fun along with the work. Even so, there are still some students who will compare school to a prison, even though there are many differences in our school from a prison. One difference is that of clothing. Not too many “zebra outfits” are seen worn. Students can wear whatever they want, within reason, of course. They are not forced to wear uniforms or to dress all alike, so students’ clothing reflects individuality and shows the styles of the present year. One addition in style this year was that of florescent clothing. Brightly colored shirts of pink, yellow, and other colors were seen from a mile away from the school. (Well, maybe not that far.) Leather or plastic parachute pants were also new in the clothing department. So was the cropped style of pants. Whether it was jeans, leather pants, or dress slacks, several girls were letting their ankles show. Jeans were definitely still the most pop- ular form of wear for either gender. Levi’s and Lee’s were often seen, worn in a variety of forms. There were pre-shrunk, shrink-to-fit, pleated, striped, faded, and even checkered. Denim was also popular with jackets, and was the type worn by several girls and a few guys. Another difference is the style of the hair that the students wore. A new style of haircut was that of “getting the ears cut out.” It sounds horrid, but it means to have the hair cut above the ears; often the back was left long. Besides all of the above differences, a major one is left. It is that of activities. There are many activities in our school that a student can become involved with, including FFA, Kayettes, pep club, speech and the one-act play, the all-school play, and several forms of sports. These activities help a student to make new friends, add fun to the school year, and give a student a different outlook about school life, rather than that of prison.
