Knickers and peddle-pushers are the new fad this year. There are several ways they can be worn. They can be dressed up or put together as something casual. Cheryl Duhon, above, is wearing brown corduroy knickers with a white lacey blouse. She's wearing brown plaid socks and top siders to make her outfit more casual. Sandra Hudson, above right, is wearing green peddle-pushers and a multi-colored shirt which she has belted with a green belt. Her socks are light tannish-green and she wearing top-siders. Green is in. The newest, most popular style is camouflage. Green shirts, pants, and headbands are worn with tennis shoes. Also there is the green belt. Kevin Comeaux is wearing the complete set. The shirt that is dark green, light green, and brown is worn with the green pants. There are also pants like the shirts that are worn together. Student Life 25

New Ramettes live through initiation Being a Ramette requires more than most people think. Most Ramettes must be good sports and have a good sense of humor. If they don't, initiation could means dooms-day. It has always been a tradition for new Ramettes to be initiated by their Big Sisters who are the senior Ramettes. The Big Sisters have a wonderful time making their little sisters do embarrassing things such as singing to the class while kneeling down, pushing pennies with their noses across the courtyard, and acting like a chicken in front of the football team. Shawn Picard probably had the most embarrassing task when she sang We Love You, Rams on the loud speaker so the whole school could hear her. Lisa Vincent gives Charles Hebert a big hug. Shawn Picard moves her penny along. Shawn Picard sings her song In addition to these embarrass-ing acts, the initi-fl ates' appearances were not to be forgotten. Shoe boxes were worn on the feet. Masking tape was wrapped around the legs. They wore the old Ramette skirts with bloomers underneath which were stuffed with pillows to give the effect of a fairly large rear end. There was also the usual mardigra beads, stink perfume, ridiculous makeup, and several ponytails to make the hair look nice. Lisa Vincent probably suffered the worst because of the peanut butter that served as her facial make up. All in all, most had fun even though the torture seemed endless. Now, those girls know that it takes more than marching ability to become a Westlake High Ramette. Ramettes show oft a new style. Donald and Renee Baker ham it up.
