•aV ' OPEN Campus relief!! The courtyard is where many students find relaxation, socialization, some sun, and some fun. Matt Behnke, exercising his open campus privileges, heads for the courtyard with his M M ' s and his illegal Walkman, all set for a 40 minute nap in the sun. M M ' s are still p)opular with the students. Students feel Walkmans, which have been banned, enhance their education. ON her way to class, junior, Julie Sexeny, proudly shows off her stylish clothes. Colorful clothing has become the in thing and Julie shows that she hasn ' t missed a beat on the fashion scene. fSm M :M 1

Are We ‘In”? S tyles and trends seem to come and go more quickly than the summer break. Depending on who you see while traversing the halls of our school you could suppose that you ' re at a heavy metal concert, a Sid Vicious convention, Woodstock, or you ' ve indeed been shot by an alligator and gone to preppie heaven. And yes, it will be remembered as the year of the mini-skirted fresh¬ man invasion. cal tastes here range from avant- garde to jazz to heavy metal. The most popular type is, of course, POP! (Well, somebody must lis¬ ten to it.) Some students spend hundreds of dollars each year keeping up with their favorite bands ' latest releases and the Boston area offers a wicfe range of radio stations for those who are not quite so extravagant. The school radio station WHRS is a prime example of the diversity of musi¬ cal tastes here. Our school has its share of fash¬ ion mavens, people who un- doubtably make a career of reading magazines and cruising the mall. Then there are the, I ' m a senior so I don ' t care any¬ more types, as well, who sport sweatpants and sweatshirts bearing the name of any college to which they ' ve applied. Mostly the fashion at our institution can ' t be categorized. It seems that as students grow older they become more individual. Where do fashion and hair trends have their genesis? With the constant media blitz en¬ countered by the average teena¬ ger the answer is, of course, in imitation of favorite stars. Musi- Concerts are also a big event at the high school. Bands who played Boston in the fall include U2 to Pink Floyd and Suzanne Vega to Simple Red. For the most part taste in music is as diverse as the students themselves — there are preppie headbangers and football players who listen to Mozart. Whatever you choose to wear or listen to there ' s a place for you here. — by Lauren Murray BENE!! spazzes Latin scholar, Sarah Tobiason, after her arrow says heelllo ..to the target during archery class in gym.

The People of WHS T he building at 80 Skillings Road that students come to each school day Is a building like many others. What makes it Winchester High School are the people who work and study in it. Coming from a variety of back¬ grounds and localities, the peo¬ ple add life to an otherwise empty, cold structure. Without them school would be a little less colorful. Ever-present and ever-watchful, the custodial staff is very much a part of this year ' s activities. This year ' s senior class is keeping them working diligently due to various pranks. First there is the Silly String fight one morning af¬ ter homeroom. Quickly follow¬ ing that the Sachem on the school front is altered to sport sunglasses! Finally, Jailbreak Day Is proclaimed replete with black, cray-paper prison bars on the hall doors and paper letters spelling J-a-i-l-b-r-e-a-k across staircase walls. All of these en¬ deavors keep the custodians a part of school life. Foreign students from different countries are here to spend the year at our school. Comii| fr widely varied cbuhtr dcj S Germany, England, and Egypt these students provide a fresh perspective on how people live in other areas of the globe. Two new students among this year ' s senior class are Mackie Connell of Barbados and Heba Khamis of Egypt. Peter Stahn of West Germany and Enrique Vilella of Spain are joining the class of ' 89. These new students are over¬ coming their unfamiliar sur¬ roundings and becoming assimi¬ lated into school life quickly. When compared to one ' s whole life high school is but a short pe¬ riod. Many of the people one knows now one might not see again. However, each in their way contribute life to this build¬ ing and color to one ' s memories. — by Martin Herlihy CELEBRATING ' 88 at lunch time in the cafeteria seniors: FRONT ROW: Joseph Gill, Mickey Feeley, Welch, and B.J.
