FADS AND Oincrediblel” Comments like this are what help some people get up in the morning to pick out their clothing ensemble for the day. They wear what they feel good in—comfort and style, that’s the key to fashion. Each person chooses a special style all for themselves, and expands on that ■ style to make it work for them. Fashion and style not only are represented by the clothes you wear, but it is also the way you carry and present yourself. You won't look good on the outside, unless you feel good inside first. Fashion is all a matter of who you are, and what you want others to see you as. You pick the image and expand on that. Of course there’s always those who could care less about what other people think, or how they look. When asked what his most comfortable outfit is, Bill Pisano replied, My sweaty and smelly T-shirt and shorts after practice.” It is people like this who rely on their personality rather than their outward appearance. Fads fade in and out as people and attitudes change. One person picks up on an idea, tells it to someone else, who in turn helps spread it all over, and all of a sudden a fad is in the making. I skate with my friends all the time. We first started skating because it was a fad, but now we skate because it’s fun. Most people who skate just because it’s a fad just move on when the next one comes along. Not usl” Dave Comeau seems to have found the perfect fad to fit into his lifestyle. Fads and fashions play such a big role in our lives, and some don’t even realize it.

Changing the way we dress, our attitude about everyday issues, and the way we think and feel about ourselves.

Hangouts HANGOUTS Travis Harrington was caught by the photographer hangout outside. In the solitude of the band room, Jenni Teelon real- izes that the best acoustics are found there. places may not be known but they always seem to have a good time there. It would appear that friends play an inportant role in the merriment that occurs at these hangouts. As Lisa Peterson states, Another nice hangout is you best buddies’ homes.” Perhaps it’s wanting to be with friends that makes teenagers hang out.” On the other hand, it might be an altogether different reason. Another of Lisa’s favorite hangouts is the ”... games where all the hot guys arel” Despite the overwhelming general concensus that school is the place least likely for a teenager to want to go, many of their favorite hangouts are located in and around Baker. If you ask enough people, you’ll find that every classroom is somebody’s hangout. Even ISP is favored by some for its air- conditioning. The athletes like the gym, the smokers have their path, and the intellectuals enjoy the ambiance of the library. Everyone else just circulates around. Wherever and with whomever, kids seem to like to hang-out. It is just a way to be with your friends, talking, laughing, and having a good time.

It's the place where the most kids can be found together all at the same time. -I The multi-colored Converse and the docksiders are a fashion (and a fad!) but wearing two differ- ent colors on the same day? Students always like to be seen in their favorite colors. Don Cahill obviously likes green and black for school time. Andre3 Haas Andrea Haas Fads and Fashions 27
