Fashions Preppie look earns top grade Who ever thought people would be wearing a pair of jeans with someone elses name on them? Well, a lot of girls and guys did this past year. Designer jeans were a top fashion of the year, and could be found almost anywhere. Every year students bring their wardrobe up to date with the changing styles of the fashion world. Debbie Messer, junior, stated, “The preppie look contributes to a big part of this year’s styles.” This “preppie” look included sweaters, blazers, blouses, jeans, and ribbon ties. “The colors this year are grey, maroon, black and pastels,” reported Kathy Leonie, an employee at Ayres. Kathy went on to say that the most fashionable materials were wool, corduroy and cotton” Wool and corduroy blazers were examples of last years sytle that are still popular. “Things that were in style a long time ago are now back in style. So, keep all of your clothes they will be back sooner or later,” Greater Gator! Alligators invaded local stores with the popular Izod emblem. remarked Julie Barrick, Warren senior that worked at Stuarts. Leftovers are not too appealing to most people. However, many of the fashions from last year remained popular through- out the year. Skirts made of wool are still high at the top of the list. A new fashion was the oxford cloth shirts with the button down collar. “The oxford shirts with a ribbon tie and sweater gives the student a sensational look,” replied Amy Clark a worker at Ayres. Wool or Cheeno pants made up the other part of a stylish outfit. Side pockets and pleats put the finishing touches on the style of the pants. Guys and girls wore many of the same styles. The blazers, sweaters, cords, and designer jeans were all considered uni-sex. Fashions had something for everyone this past year. Going in style. Senior Sheila Hawkins and junior Rich Gray enjoy the fall sunshine. 1 Summer JL O Fashions

Start of School Back to the old grind share their vacation happenings, helped to kick off the new year with both a frown and a smile. Numerous clubs and activities confused many sophomores. Having such a variety to choose from, many could not decide, and wandered aimlessly through the halls during the first activity period. Teachers also played a major role for students during the first week. Learning how “hard” or “easy” the teacher was, Slamming of locker doors, and the sometimes embarrassing moment of asking for directions; it was all part of the beginning of a new school year. Paying registration and book rental fees--even before the school year started-seemed to be unreasonable to some students. However, this system greatly decreased the general confusion of the first week of the new semester. Locks that wouldn’t open, and friends, eager to helped the student to contemplate his future in the class. Schedule changes were frequent the first few weeks, due to computer errors or the student’s like or dislike of a particular class. Some students felt the new year started entirely too early. August 18 just seemed to be the middle of summer. Junior Penny Cocciolone laughingly commented, “Well, I could’ve used a longer summer vacation!” Passing the Buck. Junior Kevin Spearing pays for the privilege of the use of the student parking lot before the beginning of the school year. Up and Over. As Luann Roberts spots Debbie Thompson for a mount on Monica Shisler’s shoulders, the varsity cheerleaders get ready for upcoming football games. Summer | fT Start of School
