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.

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.

Twins fdkeui Twins H ave you ever wondered what it would be like to have a twin brother or sister who didn ' t live with you and who you rarely saw? For juniors Tammy Scott and Karen Davis this unique situation was reality. Neither Tammy ' s twin brother nor Karen ' s twin sister lived at home with them. Tammy ' s brother Ty went to Virginia Military School. This was his sec¬ ond year at the school and he and Tammy ' s second year apart. It felt real strange to be in school and know he was not there, com¬ mented Tammy. After sharing classes with her brother for nine years, it was a real shock for Tammy not to see him anymore. Being best friends with her brother, Tammy found it very difficult to get used to being separated from him. Karen Davis felt very alone this year without her identical twin sister Christen around. With her sister gone, Karen had to get used to not having someone to talk to all the time. It was really hard for her to adjust to being by herself. The two were each other ' s best friends and comment¬ ed Karen, I know her as well as I know my¬ self. Although Christen lived in Florida, she and Karen remained close. 11 didn ' t realize how much he meant to me unti he went away. I took him for granted when he was here and now that he is gone I miss him a lot. I find myself looking forward with great anticipa¬ tion to seeing him on holidays and over the summer break 33 — Tammy Scott It is really hard to get used to her not being here. We were each other ' s best friends, and now she is gone, but we still talk to each other on the phone a lot. When we talk, it ' s almost like we know exactly what the other is thinking and feeling. j Karen Dav is Twins
