To Conform Or Not To Conform Pressure to conform — all of us felt it, even those who claimed to ignore it. Exerted by friends, teachers, parents, soceity, and even ourselves, pressure made everyone react differently: sophomore girls bought $33 jeans, juniors socialized beyond the point of enjoyment, and seniors formed close-knit cliques. But as some students began to explore tangents, others followed their lead as an ever-increasing amount of people discovered new interests. One way this year’s non-conformists conformed was by getting into “new wave” music, a development which brought rock and roll back to basics. Artists such as Elvis Costello. The Cars and Graham Parker provided a new alternative for students who were bold enough to try punk clothes, haircuts and parties. Not everybody bought the new wave craze, but those that did agreed that it was a unique and interesting new direction for the year. CONFORMITY 23
