New models by Rikki Steele Bobbie socks were a trademark of the 50's, stretch pants were big in the 60's, paisley was hot in the 70's. All three re-surfaced in 1986, much to the surprise of parents, grandparents, and teachers who swore they'd never wear that crap again. They did it once — let's do it again. In the 50's, she-bops bopped in their bobbie socks at sock hops, but in 1986, they weren't just worn to boogie. It seemed like everywhere you looked, these anklets filled the shoes of many teenagers. Stir-up pants, once known to par- ents as stretch pants, filled many girls' closets. When they first came out, some people thought Vestaburg was starting its own major league baseball team. They're appealing to my eyes, smirked Dominic Beni, because you can see the girls' figures better than when they wear jeans. Coats for cold weather. As old man winter rounds the corner, Karen Hansel, Elaine Meyers, Dan Her- nandez and Greg Wing stay very warm but also stay very in as each of them show the new styles in outerwear, where else but out of doors. Just hangin around. Whether relaxing in the library or armwrestling, Vestaburg was in style. Here Gary Keyes, David Scott, Mike Trayer, Deanna Gallihugh, Brenda Hodges, and Linda Avery show off the latest trends in clothing. Give me style! Showing off their hairstyles from choppy to just plain feathered neatly are Chris Moomey, Paula Ford, Angie Molby and Tracey Kunkel as they attempt to get every hair in place while they use the showcase for a mirror. The fields lead the field in style. Demetrius, Tyona, and Shimmy Fields bring here the styles they found in Detroit to give us that ever popular big city look right here in our small town school. 14 dadd and on

Open wide. Famous for his jaws face (shown here) and his fish, Marty Johnson provides en- tertainment for Elaine Meyers and others during second lunch. Care to have a little lunch? New superintendent George Showers takes a break out of his hectic day to enjoy a little lunch with students Katie Brantley and Brent Bissell. Should I eat it? First lunch provides students with a variety of meals, plus the opportunity to talk to friends. Shay Throop, Troy Ferguson and Jay Jan- ofski down some tatertots and a burger. What did I do now? As Mr. Steinkraus and Pete Scott have one of their daiy discipline discussions during first lunch, jr. high students gather around for support. being tuna fish sandwiches. The majority of the students rushed through the line, not caring what they got, rushed back to their seat and pro- ceeded to scarf it down so they could be first in line for free seconds. I go up for seconds because when I was little I didn't eat much, so I'm making up for it now, said Dominic Beni. 1 am also eating so I can grow to be 6T , but so far it isn't working. After students had stuffed their faces with all of the food they could eat, they ventured out into the halls. Many literarily interested students headed for the library. Only to find that it had been closed due to students who used the library more for a romp- er room than a reading place. Others walked the halls, trying to find a victim who was suitable to fit into the trash can. Many just walked along talking to their friends enjoying a break from the grind of daily classes. hall cruisin’ Student Jife 13

bring life to old styles Not so appealing to some eyes was paisley which could be found on a few brave souls. This design, which made a comeback from the 70's, bore a strong resemblance to an amoeba. For guys, the coolest part of fashion literally, for cool weather, was coats. From leather, to wool, to denim, these jackets were really flashy. In addition to outerwear, the guys' styles for the year were sweaters and dress shirts, or just the traditional t- shirts, jeans, and those trusty ten- nies. Watches were also big. Whether they were bought at Peasley's or in Eu- rope, these timepieces took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. I got my watch when I was in Lon- don, said freshman Rachel Hernan- dez. There's no numbers on it, so peo- ple always ask me how I tell time. Watches weren't only found on stu- dents wrists. Many students became watch ers when, on Fridays, they sat in front of the TV watching Miami Vice. After watching an hour of Vice, several students enjoyed playing Triv- ial Pursuit which provided hours of entertainment. With the fashion styles regenerating after being out for a number of years; maybe you better think twice before throwing out those bell bottoms and patent leather boots. Time is money!! A big fad was women's watches ranging from Mickey Mouse to Pulsar Quartz at a cost of $5-40. Here, it's all hands watch-ing the clock. Student jCife 15
