Dressing for Recognition Can you tell a book by its cover? Some people might think so, but stereotypes could not always be determined by the ways students dressed. Instead, many first impressions were made. There did not seem to be a single in look, and the latest fashions were basically takeoffs from 1982. The preppy look was back, even stronger with the guys than the girls. Ties for both sexes highlighted the familiar polos, oxfords, sweaters, topsider shoes, and painter hats. Athletic, a newer more comfortable style, was not only for athletes anymore. Sweats, including the Flashdance type, sports tee shirts, shorts, legwarmers, and tennis shoes proved to be ideal for the long hours of sitting. Believe it or not, punk and new wave were more outrageous than ever. Not only were clothes brighter and shorter, but hair was sticking up or chopped by the ear. The ever-popular concert and tavern tee shirts, flannel shirts, and long johns were adequate for the changing weather throughout the year. Most students wore various sorts of clothesg however, those who were aware of the impact of fashion on images stuck to one particular style. 6 Stereotypes ' BELOW.

Band members, for example, were together 5,6,7, 8 8th periods so naturally time played a role in forming this group. Couples were different. Some kids went steady for lengthy periods of time, each always hurrying to meet the other before and after classes. Other kids avoided long- term relationships and stuck to casual dating. When special dances approached, the degree of flirting increased as these kids had to actively search for partners for each occasion. 8 Stereotypes BELOW.
