Teen fashions around school— trendy or typical? Fashions are constantly changing: an obvi- ous statement but one that is nevertheless true. Fashions around school were no excep- tion. They were a colorful potpourri of happy, comfortable, and fun clothes. The sky was the limit: there was no stern grandmother to frown as we walked out the door or an even sterner principal to wield a ruler to measure the distance between our skirts and our knees. Luckily, we have never beeR subjected to the strict dress codes of our ancestors. In this age anything goes! Even though we would have balked at the dress restrictions of the past, there was a definite hint of our parent's style of dress in the clothes we wore.

The key was color and comfort. Emphasis was placed on style, but fads were kept to a happy medium. Students were stylish and fashion conscious, following the trends that shaped our lives. —Lesley Young Q] Shoes ranging from fun to fancy are courtesy of Marshall's Shoe Store
