'swam Fashionable Accen fs Belts and friendship bracelets were among they most popular fads found on campus. Any size, color or even shape desired could be found. Black, brown, white, red, pink, gray and even yellow were popular colors and big, fancy buck- les were favored. All were found on the waists or hips of students. Depending on the outfit being worn, belts were tightly wrapped around the waist or loosely hung around the hips. Belts added style to many outfits. Friendship bracelets also were found in many creative styles. Made to be small enough for an ankle or wrist, or big enough for a necklace, some were even designed to hold sunglasses on. Bright, vividly-colored threads were matched to- gether. Any colors were used, as were a variety of techniques used to weave the colors together. Various designs could be woven from the colors. Many new col- ors were recognized when combined with an everyday, ordinary color. These two fads were a very strong part of fashion at Marcos. Above: Donna Burns shows how hard heriob can be.

People are always finding ways to make money, and stu- dents are a part of this group too. Whether they held a job during the school year to earn money or got money from their parents, they always were on the lookout for a way to make a buck. Many students held jobs during the school year. Even those under sixteen were out working at fast food places or at grocery stores. Students under sixteen were not legally able to get a job, but many secured positions by creatively hid- ing their true ages. The students who were old enough to hold jobs worked up to thirty-five or forty hours a week. The starting wages usually were 33.35 per hour, so students worked long hours in order to make any money after taxes. For students who were not old enough to get a job, they were left to earn money on their own. Some had paper routes and regular babysitting jobs, while others mowed lawns and washed cars. For the people who did not have jobs, there were always their parents. Many students received allowances throughout their high school years. Some parents gave out money only as their kids needed it, while other parents gave kids money every week or two and expected them to budget their money themselves: No mat- ter how, students were on the lookout for cash, and the challenge to earn money stimulated the creativity of students of all ages. , ,,,i 'f 2l7 ff, ,iflf Student Life ' 35

No matter how old, tall, short, skinny or shapely, fashion is almost always a priority. Changing times means changing fashions, and Mar- cos students were sure to be among the first to try the new styles. Fashions for 1987 were rather casual, kind of laid back. The majority of students wore jeans, t-shirts, sweaters or sweats. However, looking around in 1988, styles became a bit more dressy. The average Padre girl wore a nice, stylish blouse, lots of fancy colors, of course, var!-shaded pants, topped with a fashionable belt that added the finishing touch. As for shoes, she sported beige, black or white flats. Left: Benetton became a popular fashion for Marcos students. Below: Johnny Chin demonstrates styles worn by Marcos men. With Fashion Pumps were often seen in various differ- ent colors, also. Earrings and other brightly-colored jewelry finished the out- fit. Moving along to the Padre boy, usually the outfit started with a t-shirt, showing some kind of decal or advertisement. Then Levi's or Guess Jeans seemed to be the man's style. During the early part of the year, long, printed or colored shorts were worn. Tennis shoes added the final touch to the majority of Padre boys at Marcos. These styles may go out by next year, but the students at Marcos will keep up and be in fashion as long as they live. 2L7 7 fQ7f Student Life - 37
