Although most students couldn't afford the price of being 100 percent in , the majority had at least two or three status symbols. They could be as cheap as a 52.50 pair of Scribble's sunglasses to a 53,000 diamond ring. After Panama jack came out with shirts with the name down the sleeve, many more became popular. T-shirts like Razorback lack, jamaica loe, Ocean Pacific and numerous others could be found everywhere from K-Mart to M.M. Cohns. lane Hesterly, ninth grader, said, l like these kinds of shirts because they are comfortable and sporty. Most of these shirts averaged around 515. A long gold necklace was an essential item for any girl. The average number of beads per necklace was about 20. A lot of girls liked the 5mm bead. This came to about 522 forjust the beads, not including the price of the necklace itself. Diamond rings and small gold watches also adorned the hands of many teenaged girls. The more beads, the better, some thought. Stacy Mcleod, junior, who had over 260 beads on her necklace, said, I like them because they are pretty and they attract attention. They are also fun to play with when l'm nervous. Another trendy jewelry item was twist beads, which sold for an average of 56 a strand. Three strands of beads were used for each necklace, and a gold clasp iabout 531 was used to fasten them together. The beads came in all colors, which could be mixed and matched to create any number of color combinations. Three little letters were also of paramount importance. Personalized items like sweaters, jackets and purses were monogrammed at a cost of around 56. Paint pens of every color were purchased for 53 to personalize such items as keychains and clipboards. Besides the car he drove, the status symbol among guys was a pair of fancy, most-times expensive, tennis shoes. These leather laceups ran anywhere from 520 to 590. High tops became very popular among basketball players. Nike was the most common shoe. Sophomore, Rick Dewese said, The Nike Air Force One is the greatest shoe you can buy. Probably, the most modern status symbols were sun: glasses. The common types were the Ferrari, and the photosensitive sunglasses. Kim Conner, freshman, said, l think they are cool because nobody can tell who you are looking at. Though most students were dissappointed that they could not wear them in school, most of their shades were waiting for them in their car or at home. 1 1 4'0People
