e ANY TROUBLE? Fans listen to Lindsey Buckingham while he per- forms at the UNI-Dome. WHO'S THAT? It’s no mirage, Stevie “М; ks does one ot Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits at the concert which had to be resc heduled after Nicks be- came ill at an earlier concert date on the tour oncert' Variety of shows enjoyed by all I wouldn't have missed it for the world, was Lynne Cleasby's comment after she saw Olivia INewton-John at Hilton in September, 1982. Newton-John was just one of a few big name recording stars who appeared on the concert scene in Iowa during the 1982-83 school year. Other stars such as Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Diana Ross, and the Who all gave concerts either at Hilton Coliseum in Ames or at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Some students traveled as far as Cedar Rapids to see a show. Students camped out, stood in line, skipped class, and got restricted study hall to pay an average front row seat price of $15. Ronnie Toporek commented, “Ticket prices were becoming too outrageous,” somehow though they still managed to find the money. Tad Nowlin had this to say about the Stray Cats, “It was great not paying so much money for tickets and still get a show worth so much more.” The big names in show business weren't the only ones who brought their talent to Iowa. The Stray Cats, Adam Ant, Joan Jett, and the Clash performed as well. These tickets weren't nearly as expensive and, in Liz Wassmuth's words, The Joan Jett concert was awesome, totally excellent. Some students went to extreme measures to get their tick- ets. Michele Bogue and Lynn Randall skipped class so that they could get tickets for the Diana Ross concert. Michele said Diana Ross was the boss; we had to get in on the action. ` Sophomore Stacy Setterberg commented, “The Oakridge Ow . — LT à Doys concert was a combination of country, pop, and rock. It had something for everybody. As the 1982-83 school year came to a close, the students who went to the concerts felt fortunate to have a place like the Hilton Coliseum so close to attend many big concerts. JAMMING. Roger Daltry hits the UINI-Dome in the Who's last tour concert, The Who. considered one of the top bands ever, came to Cedar Falls in October. The light show was considered one of the finest. Мапу Ames High students left school early to get in line for the floor seats. HARD TO CHOOSE. Jim Duke and a Musicland employee hunt through the bins looking for an album. Many students preferred to buy albums rather than buy concert tickets because an album offered repeated listening. Others bought albums after concerts they liked. | Jl ul o Re m | Sanije Amm gë Á o -— 0 -- de c‏ — س JCC,————— e —— ь a cg a Sea

WORK OF ART. Wearing her haberdashery-inspired blouse and sweater, Sonja Powers examines art work by Chip Wass in the Ames High art gallery. The tuxedo look had great success, complete with the traditional bow ties and pinstripes and the newly added feminine ruffles. ¦ 1 = = , P! age, = RISING TREND. Ros North shows off a style from the sixties. Mini- skirts had a revival and became popular with many Ames High students. Fashion TAKIN’ IT EASY. Vernon Johnson, attired in the Country Gentle- man look, a classic style from England, relaxes in the fine arts wing. New fashions came from old Although latest fashion trends often appeared original, they were many times inspired by or borrowed from past styles. Returning fashions ranged from the prairie look complete with ruffles and lace to the mini-skirts of the 1960's. “I really liked the prairie clothes because they made me feel pretty, explained Amy Powers. Some ‘new’ styles were taken from the past, but still others were influenced by the mode of certain groups. These borrowed looks extended from sportswear and legwarmers from athletes and dancers to haberdashery borrowed from men. Classics had always been around, but many had been updat- ed. One example of this was the Country Gentleman look, classic menswear influenced by Chariots of Fire and Brideshead Revisited. Denise Cakerice worked at a local clothing store, so she had the opportunity to view the latest trends. “Clothing styles run in cycles. Something new you may have seen at our store might have been offered to your parents or grandpar- ents when they were our age. After all, wasn’t the present built on the past? CLASSIC COMBO. Jenny Ostrum displays one style of classic dress. While jeans were still popular, many students dressed up for a change of pace,
