TYLES i OVERSIZED CLOTHES BECAME A FAD c h o I clothes: what did you wear? Could it have been an oversized sweater, oversized jacket, or a pair of ali baba pants? This years big fashion trend consisted of anything over- sized ranging from a belt to earrings. I liked to wear oversized clothes, because they look cool and they ' re so comfortable , comment- ed Brenda Buus. Popular oversized fash- ions also included coats and purses. Extra big coats were used for keeping extra warm on those particularly cold days. Large purses were used for carrying folders, books, and on Mondays and Fridays, P.E. clothes. Donna Momrow remarked, I hated carrying around books and folders. If I put them in my big purse, it didn ' t seem so bad. Searching, planning, and organizing was a big part of fashions. Some students felt that oversized styles could be over done. You can ' t wear a big shirt, big big pants, big coat, big belt, and big jewelry. It looked too ex- aggerated when girls did that , said David Murphy. Most students seemed to agree though that oversized clothes were comfortable and stylish. I like oversized clothes because they are cute, comfortable, and they make you feel free. Suzan Genovese, junior. OVERSIZED CLOTHES y

ACKETS n ■j a ■: ■■ 4 . Just an article of clothing; the letterman ' s jacket or sweater was more. Several people seem to think so. The biggest problem was deciding which to purchase. And then some people opted to buy them both. Though this may be costly, it solved a big deci- sion. I couldn ' t decide whether to buy the sweater or the jacket, so I bought them both, revealed Senior Bobby Poe. Letterman ' s jackets start- ed in price from $120. I went to Silk Thread and ex- pected to only spend about $100 on my jacket, and end- ed up paying $160! And that was without the picture, commented sophomore Frank Shelton. Due to the price of the jackets, many Lettermen Sweaters Increase Choices students ' parents gave them a choice between a letter- man ' s jacket and a class ring. When we went to pick up my jacket, my mom and dad saw the price and said that I had to wait until next year to get my class ring, added Senior Mike Roberts. Although sweater cost considerably less than a jacket, they still cost a pret- ty penny, ranging from $75 to $85. My mom and dad said that I could get a sweat- er and jacket, because I told them that a sweater didn ' t cost very much. I was wrong, it cost me 80 bucks, said Senior Billy Poe. In spite of the price, a let- terman ' s jacket or sweater is a thing to be cherished and a sign of accomplish- ment. In short, your letter- man ' s jacket or sweater is a thing to be proud of. STANDING SIDE BY SIDE, Larry Ja- red and Shannon James hold hands. Shannon earned her letter in swimming. I think that letter- man ' s jackets give peo- ple a character and set them aside from the rest of the people in the school. Chuck Hop- kins, junior. JACKETS 49 y
