The layered look was in. Oversized shirts with the tails hanging out and oversized sweat- ers completed young girls' attire for a casual day. A tee-shirt, an unbuttoned oxford and a jean jacket made the guys part of the action. Vivid colors played a major role in the way one dressed: bright reds, kelly greens, royal blues, sunshine yellows and basic whites co- ordinated with an active lifestyle topped off the aura of high fashion which concerned every- one. Yet with all the changes that have occurred year after year, a constant style has remained and was evident in schools in any city in any state. Wearing a football jersey and a pair of jeans was probably the most typical model of a male high school student. And even more typi- cal was the famed letter jacket” which every girl dreamed of holding in her clutches. = EF - RE THEIR FIRST period science class, Jennifer Chip- : - « and Kim Lybrand hold a conversation to stimulate -- r nomings.

STOPPING TO CHAT during a not-so-busy day is Carla Thomas and Angela O’Quinn. These are two among many WHS student volunteers at the Hospital. 9 to 5 and More The average student had five to six classes a day. This was to be expected, but some went above and beyond the call of duty. Many students joined the work force and did it successfully! Having a job instilled some well needed respon- sibilities in young adults. Students learned the im- portance of being on time. Many jobs required patience and being cooperative with other peo- ple. Getting along well with others and being able to follow directions were skills that everyone needed in order to succeed in a productive soci- ety. Some found it difficult to juggle school work, a job and keep their grades up. Miriam Belcher, employed at the Light-House Book Store said, “It’s sometimes difficult because I don’t have Sat- urdays as a free homework day.” Ranked number one in the junior class, Miriam was definitedly an exception to this. Most of our working students filled positions in fast food restaurants such as Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy’s, Hardee’s and Shoney’s. Some students, usually girls, held baby-sitting jobs. Another common job was that of cashier and bag-boy in grocery stores, Kendrick Nathenial, who was employed at Piggly Wiggly said, “I find it exuberating and fast paced, but fun.” Most of the students had one main reason for working—money. “I find that having my own mon- ey is to my advantage,” said Ricky Roundtree who has been employed at McDonalds for five months. With a seven or eight hour school day, and work afterward, students actually worked longer hours than their parent’s did! PART OF DEXTER RADCLIFF’S job is bagging groceries. After all the items have been bagged, he will carry the bags to the customer’s car. Working Students

THE BRIGHT COLOR of Carmen Sauls’ Coca-Cola shirt en- hances her bubbly personality as she converses with Tammy Avant between classes. During the summer following his sophomore year Randy Hall decided it was time for a change. He wanted to be different and he want- ed fashion to become an important part of his character. “I think that everything I do and how I act is an extension of myself and it lets people know what kind of person I am.” Randy likes to shop at Jeans West and Merry Go Round and with a little help from GQ and Esquire Magazines, Randy chooses his wardrobe and feels confi- dent in his style of dress. A Senior, Randy can be seen wearing pleat- ed pants, up beat sportscoats, string ties, and a cheery smile. Randy stated, “I like to set trends, not follow them.” This attitude not only relates to fashion but denotes a steadfast per- sonality. SWATCHES WERE the number one fashion accessory. Some students were not satisfied with just one, and could be found with three or four on their wrist. Today’s Fashions
