Sampling The Trends Would most parents allow their child to get a haircut like Mr. T’S? How about some- thing more tame, like say a kel- ly green tint to blond hair? Not many parents would tolerate a new look like those mentioned above; however, most kids still found a way to dress punk, al- though it was to a lesser de- gree.

Today’s students seem to have brought back all the best fashions from the past while adding their own special taste to the present. It’s enough to make anyone anticipate the new wave of the future that will knock the fashion conscien- tious dressers on their ear. Unaware, Andrea Nichols, Sun Ryeon Kim, and Dina Hollie stand and talk, little realizing that they are showing off their fashions. Jay Justice and Russ Oliver loiter in the background.
