Fashions at Austin High show diversity - By Ned Sherman lthough remaining di- verse, the fashions at Austin High were more casual this year. Some of the more popular styles were colored sneakers, haircuts with tails in the back, and Levi's 501 button up blue-jeans. While preppies and punks remained noticeable, a more casual and laid back look became common. Girls often wore blue-jeans or pants, thongs or tennis shoes, and a T-shirt. Sweats were also a regular occurance on girls. Boys lounged around in tennis shoes or vans, a T-shirt, and blue-jeans. As the school year grew closer to an end, shorts became a popular item with both boys and girls. The preppy boys often sported penny loafers, top siders, Izod shirts,and slacks,buttennis shoes and Boast shirts accompanied by Levi's 501 button up blue-jeans often took the place of the traditional preppy look. Mexican dresses remained in among preppy girls. Thong and blue-jeans often combined with an Izod or Polo shirt to create a more casual preppy look. Dyed hair, shaved heads, long hair, and spikes distinguished the more rebellious members of the student body. They often donned leather jackets, spiked arm bands, chains and belts, and combat boots. Girls and boys had ears pierced. Elaborate earrings often hung from the ear lobes of boys and girls. Ceramic, plactic, silver, and gold were predominant types. Plastic spiders often dangled from the ears of the more rebellious girls. Necklaces, chains, and bracelets were also popular among boys and girls. Many students preferred to wear concert T-shirts, especially the day after a show at the Special Event Center or Municipal Auditorium. Popular T-shirts were ZZ Top, The Police, Stray Cats, Michael jackson, Ozzy Osborne, Van Halen, Iudas Priest, The GoGos, and Huey Lewis. 1f s1g,. fs-me . ' Kress? ,. . ..., ..

Perhaps the most popular form of entertainment among high school students is music. Listening to your favorite music,whether its live or not,will always make you feel better. There is nothing like coming home from a long day at school and putting on that great album. While a favorite album can provide an emotional lift, nothing can beat a concert at one of Austin's clubs or auditoriums. Some of the bands rocking Austin's hot spots this year were ZZ Top, The Police, Robert Plant, joe King Carrasco, Ioe Ely, The Big Boys, jimmy Buffet, jerry Ieff Walker, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Cool and The Gang. Austin is fast becoming one of the top entertainment cities in the United States with the rise of stars like Ioe King and joe Ely, The new Joe Ely Album Hi Res is sure to be a hit with singles like Shakin' the Night and Lipstick in the Night , Ely began a tour of the U.S. with The Clash in May.
