M otorheads, Preps, and Punks were all different groups of stu¬ dents — each with his own taste in fashion. One did not have to look far to find a fine example of your typi¬ cal Motorhead or Headbanger. Clad in the standard concert T-shirt, jean jacket, and jeans, this group ' s presence was heavily Preps, Punks, Headbangers Reflections on Personality felt in the downstairs halls; however, scat¬ tered sightings were made throughout the school. As you jour¬ neyed upstairs, a gradual change from Reebok hightops to the more classic penny loafers and khaki pants took place. This was your average subur¬ ban type Prep. But wait! What ' s this? Combat boots, leath¬ er jackets, ripped jeans — this group didn ' t fit cleanly into any of the previous categories. These were the Punkers. Clinging to the sacred belief of individuality, they expressed them¬ selves with original hairstyles and non¬ trendy fashions. Yes, these were all fashion statements that helped to distin¬ guish the wearer from the other 3,000 stu¬ dents in the halls. Trying to maintain your indi¬ viduality was not easy, but fashion surely helped, and it was fun putting a look togeth¬ er. Hair, makeup, and clothes.

■■HEBBi Have made the $0lVx t0tS O nce the initial task of securing a homecoming date was completed, the enor¬ mous decision on where to eat had to be settled. Since Wood- bridge could not ex¬ actly be considered the cultural center of the world, there wer¬ en ' t many restaurants from which to choose. The more popular choices in the immedi¬ ate area were J.C. Mill¬ stone ' s at Tackett ' s Mill, and Pier 5 in Occo- quan. Some couples how¬ ever, ventured out fur¬ ther to Old Town Alex¬ andria, and dined at establishments such as Carnegie ' s and Portner ' s. Due to the coinciding dates of Homecoming Pick you up at eight and Halloween, restau¬ rants with bars were celebrating the Ghost¬ ly Night, and at least one got a little rowdy. On the upper level at J.C. Millstone ' s, party- goers who had be¬ come a little intoxicat¬ ed somewhat dis¬ turbed the elegant and romantic atmosphere that students had hoped for. The people upstairs started throwing things and a whole tray of sil¬ verware was spilled over the railing from above, stated Jeff Hunter, Luckily the mess missed us, he added. Dinner at a nice res¬ taurant was just the opener to what would later prove to be an exciting Homecoming. ■ £ I went out with four other friends, and it was so much fun because we all got to dress up and act like ma¬ ture people. Something we don ' t usually do when we go to Mickey D ' s. Also, since we went with a bunch of people, there wasn ' t a single dull mo¬ ment. — Becky Dittamo 6 Q Dinner at Pier 5 was wonderful. We had a window seat with a beautiful view of the night. The food was greaf, and my dafe even or¬ dered for me. Everything seemed very special. The cute waiter probably didn ' t hurt either. ■ — Becky Eicher I Homecoming Dance

Ever is Denim D enim. Created nearly 140 years ago, this versa¬ tile, durable, and fash¬ ionable fabric was con¬ ceived by Levi Strauss and still endures as one of today ' s most popu¬ lar materials. Denim, the versatile fabric, has undergone many changes and innova¬ tions in over a century of use. Today many dif¬ ferent styles of denim can be seen including acid wash, faded, bleached, and even colored looks. Not only is the material versatile, it is fashionable as well. It is hard to find anyone who does not own at least one pair of jeans. However, jeans are not by any means the ex¬ tent of the use of this fabric. Denim can be seen in jackets, skirts, shirts, purses, note¬ books, and even boots. It is a challenge to anyone to name an¬ other fabric that is as fashionable and dura¬ ble. You certainly do not see construction workers in wool or khaki. They wear denim for its comfort and du¬ rability. Look around and it becomes very apparent that the ever enduring denim is here to stay. I always thought my jeans were durable un¬ til I tried to do a high kick in them and split the crotch , confessed junior Patrick Phillips. I like to wear jeans because they ' re com¬ fortable and go with everything”, stated ju¬ nior Jennette Danner. 6 6 Sporting the prep look, senior Jerry Wolff looks over his notes before a big test. Jerry said he enjoyed wear¬ ing his jean jacket because of its stylish comfort. He could often be seen in this jacket and jeans. The jean jacket was very popular among stu¬ dents. j |j Jerry Wolff £ ■ Denim was probably my favorite material boasts senior Tammy Arrington. The acid wash denim provided a change from the normal plain blue jeans. Tammy likes den¬ im for its comfort and fashion appeal. She said, I always had a smile on when I wore my denim.
