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

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

Floating on by Alysia Gallihugh Beachin' it, cruisin' town and vaca- tioning at state parks and recreation areas are common summer pastimes for most students. However, the sum- mer of '85 brought new meaning to the word excitement for several lucky people. Lisa West had the unusual experi- ence of attending an Arabic wedding. The bride was a distant relative of West's. Instead of a priest, they had a shiek, described West. At the reception, the wedding party paraded around twice before sitting the sea of down. When it came to the food there was a 25 foot fruit table and four other different tables of food. Gene Jenkins' brand of excitement came in July when his mom bought him a new pig to raise. He gave his pig the name Snorty. His fun was short- lived; however. We just butchered him the other day, said Jenkins. If your ultimate vacation included some sort of travel, then this was your type of vacation. Demetrius Fields went to the Bahamas. It cost him 360 dollars and he went with a senior class from Detroit. The class went to a beach party and to a casino. Keep on runnin'. Running took up a lot of Mr. Kidwell's time as he ran after school and on week- ends to train for a big Marathon in Detroit. Here he runs around the block after school to stay in condition. 16 Su Dun
