the sixth sense Although Paris and New York are spending millions of dollars promoting designer fashions and encouraging buyers to follow the latest fashion forcasts to the last detail, the students at West had their own modified version of what was in style. The western look became increasingly popular, as the hallways filled with denim. The Calvin Kleins and Gloria Van- derbilts of the past were replaced by the ever-popular Lee and Levi jeans. These were paired with printed prairie blouses with lace and ribbons and plaid yoked western shirts. Cowboy boots the look. Carried over from last year, the preppy look remained on the scene. Oxford shirts and monogramed sweaters were as popular as ever, topping jeans, and for a more dressy look, Cheenos. Because of the cold weather, blazers were a part of many girls' wardrobes, adding both warmth and style. West had a style all its own. There were traces of what could be seen in the latest Vogue magazine, but mostly it was a put-together look of what felt most comfortablell ,, as ,,,.igef11-rwgigf my . rlvesawl ra 'Mama 'I and hats were added to complete 5 if 4 as x W af ,ag gf.. ., ,,,. .

Many breakfasts were skipped in the chaos of getting to school on time, but the lunch hour is an important social as well as nutritional time of the day. Students who were lucky enough to get out of school after fourth or fifth hour were able to take advantage of the McDonalds located just down Locust St. Most students had no choice but to eat the nutritional meals prepared by the school. If the selection of the day made their stomaches groan, they could always rely on the Falcon Burger. The option for those not brave enough for these entres, was to bring their own meals in a brown paper bag. Students spent many dollars on records, eight tracks, cas- settes, radios and stereos, for the enjoyment of hearing their favor- ite group or song. The popular sounds ranged from REO Speed- wagon to Olivia Newton-john. Every student had his own favorite. It became evident that music was an important part of students lives when, only a few weeks after school started, those who carried radios through the halls were told that they would be taken away if they were seen again. No matter how obscure they seemed, the sense affected students in many aspects of their liveslj A student listened to his radio in front of 7-Il Taste, touch, smell, and hear fashion 20
