p Klusener said he is most comfortable Jy when he is wearing overalls, boots, and a baseball cap. Taylor said he likes wearing low-cut socks. “They’re y comfy.” Mark Brungardt, Great Bend fresh¬ man, said he likes girls who have their y hair bleached on the ends. Klusener said he doesn’t care how long a girl’s hair is, but,“No spiky stuff, no mousse, y and no painted hairdos!” Molly Hammeke, Claflin sophomore said she goes wild when she sees a guy y in tight, frosted Pepe’s or 501’s. x Lance Miller, Vacherie, La. freshman, heads to class in a safari shirt and shades. What’s out of style now will probably be fashionable again sometime in the future. Children of today’s students may someday be seen in polyester stretch suits with long, pointed collars. So if we pack our clothes in boxes and store them away for twenty years, maybe later they’ll be fashionable again. Then instead of paying out¬ rageous prices to be stylish, we can just dig out the clothes that we’ve had stashed away in the attic. Mike Koenigsman, Hays sophomore, looks like he is having fun in his party hat and suspenders. X x X r Trina Terry, Great Bend freshman, and Carrie Rube, Great Bend fresh¬ man, said they go for guys who wear sweaters, baggy jeans, and hurachi’s. Terry and Rube said they are most comfortable when they’re dressed in jeans, big T-shirts or sweatshirts, and long jean jackets. The prices of name-brand clothing can sometimes be outrageously expen¬ sive. However, most students said they would rather pay the higher price than wear something that didn’t have a designer label. Julie Poppelreiter, Claflin freshman, said she will not pay more than $45 for a pair of jeans unless they’re really outstanding. Poppelreiter said, “Bell-bottoms are ugly as sin, but if everyone else was wearing them, I suppose I would.” Other students choked and said, “Need you even ask?” They said they would never wear bell-bottoms. However, most women said they would never wear a mini-skirt, yet the mini skirt is one of the hottest fashion statements today.

By Shelly Flaherty What people wear says a lot about who they are. People often judge others by the clothes worn. Girls with purple mohawks dressed in leather and chains give the impression they are “punk.” If a guy is all decked out in an oxford, V-neck cardigan, tapered slacks, and boat shoes, people think he’s “preppie.” Those whose total wardrobe consists of nothing but sweats and sneakers are classified as “jocks.” Everyone has his or her own taste when it comes to style. While one per¬ son may see an outfit as being adorable, someone else may think, “Geez, I wouldn’t be caught dead in that!” What we wear is largely determined not only by what we feel comfortable in, but by what others will accept as being fashionable. Jeans are always in style, but there are many different types of jeans. Some examples include frosted, straight-leg, stone-washed, bell- bottoms, hip-huggers, torn and faded, and even jeans with designs em¬ broidered on the pockets! Frosted jeans, which look like they have been spritzed with bleach, were a popular look in jeans this year. Many students were seen in stonewashed jeans, which are already faded when purchased. Karla Spexarth, Andale sophomore, Roslyn Rucker, East St. Louis, Ill. sophomore, and Darci Berryman, Great Bend freshman, are introduced to the student body as they get ready to attend the national meet. 12 Brett Staehr, Great Bend freshman, helps himself to some ice cream. Tall people no longer have to be asked if they’re waiting for a flood. “High- water pants” are now referred to as “cropped,” and tall girls as well as short are sporting this style. Hurachis, made of woven strips of leather, were the hottest item in foot¬ wear, especially when worn with the safari-look clothing in army green, khaki and beige colors. Along with the jungle prints, peach and mint green were among the most popular colors. Rugby-type shirts bearing the logo of Coca-Cola were a hot item this winter.

Another popular look this year was an untucked T-shirt worn with longer- length shorts patterned in bright colors, called “jams.” Greg Klusener, Great Bend sophomore, said, “Mini skirts are nice.” David Taylor, Great Bend sophomore, agreed, adding he likes girls in snug, form-fitting black pants.
