fy Battle of the styles: prep vs. anti-prep The battle raged on. More and nnore alligators with red slashes through them ran rampant across the countryside. True preps fought back, with their pink and green banners waving proudly. Although the war was not as intense at BRHS, the rift between duck shoes and oxfords, Rush T-shirts, and Colorado hiking boots was clear. The GQ look added variation in style, as many Ripplites dressed in baggy pants, double-breasted jackets, and wingtip shoes. Playboy bunny emblems added an extra fair to the GQ jackets. Stylish cowboy boots took on a new dimension with billowy skirts and fringed vests. Cowboy hats could be seen at parties and ball games, since they were not allowed in school. Aspects of punk were evident in students everyday wear. Although not many dressed in pure punk fashions, it was seen in classrooms and corridors. This was proven by bright- colored bandanas around short-topped hair, retro fashions, and buttons showing names of favorite punk bands. Showing their pride, preppies wore buttons exhibiting slogans such as Preppies Need Love Too, while anti-preps showed their opinion by wearing buttons saying Save the Alligator, Eat a Preppie. Whether the style was prep, western, or punk, it was clear that all Ripplites expressed their fashion preferences by wearing what appealed to each individual. TAKE YOOR PICK Both preps and antipreps expressed their own opinions with buttons. Whether it was Save a Gator . . or Love a Preppie , buttons were a common sight. OM A MEW WAVE Punking-out Andrew Austin presents his version of a punk rocker. Punk Isecame p opular during Punk Day for Homecoming with many far-out styles. ULTRA-PREP Buffy (Ann Cox) models the latest in preppie wear. Navy blazers, Topsiders, button- downs, and pink and green became a must for the true preppie. 16 Fads And Fashions
