What’s hot? What’s not? Students keep pace with short hair and parachute pants What's hot? Trends in fashion changed as fast as the seasons. The look went from tight jeans and shirts to the oversized man's-wear look. To be in vogue, girls wore neckties, wingtip shoes and baggies. Hair styles also experienced a masculine trend. In- fluenced by the Punk movement, many magazines featured the short, short hair for girls. What better way to play up a short hairstyle than with a mousse or gel which kept every hair in place? Pierced ears were a big part of the feminine look. Two, three or even four earrings in one ear lobe were popular. Copper or shiny col- ored earrings in the long, dropped style were seen. The guys were wearing parachute pants made of slippery, durable nylon. Some guys copied their favorite rock star by wearing a dangly earring. The dress code on campus was enforced. Fashion conscious gals had to first consider the bdsic re- quirements of a white blouse and a uniform skirt or pants. The guys had to wear a collared shirt and non- jean dress pant. These rules were met or the offender could receive detentions, cuts in closses, or spend free times in the R.L.C. One contro- versy orose over wearing sweat- shirts with uniforms. Students wore sweaters instead. The hallways were filled with people wearing unique shoes. For guys, a penney loafer or % high type of gym shoe was in, while the gals preferred to wear moccasins, saddle, or flat shoes with colored hose, fancy Argyle or lace- trimmed socks. Students kept pace with the new trends in and out of school. 16 feature
