Looking fashionable while waiting for another session at Key Club conven- tion. Kevin Donovan, Lance Hil- ton and Todd Eberline look like they just stepped out of the pages of G.Q. GTY For being the isolated town of 5,000 that Dillon is, fashions are kept up better than others think. Julie Sta- ley from The Knock About- said that styles are- n’t that different from New York. “We’re not as far behind as everyone seems to think. No, maybe we don’t go as far as the bubble dress, yet, but we’re satisfied with what we have.” Turning away from the comfortable sun, freedom, and cool, breezy styles, students put their skimpy sundresses and bermuda shorts away. August . . . the last of the summer months. With school starting, chilly weather would overpower the warmth of vaca- tion. Fall opened up brand new styles to go with fashion leftovers from last year.

enough class to bring home a purple ribbon and enough money to pay for all of the feed that their partner had eaten over the spring. By June first the impa- tient cowgirls and cowboys had select- ed a tic-filled companion that they would soon become extremely at- tached to as they washed, sheered, fat- tened, and trained their fluffy noise maker. Buckaroos form ages nine to eighteen taught their animals manners, and tried to form a body that would be appealing to the judge when fair time rolled around. Most of the activities that 4-Hers do during the year evolve around the fair (which is the main event of the year for the clubs.) “It takes quite a bit of preparation to raise an animal of grand champion cali- ber,” said Barb Allen who had the grand champion carcass steer in the 1987 Fair. She also participated in bar- rel racing and pole bending. Jody Bar- rett who was entered in barrel racing and pole bending too, said, “My day was awful, but the parties that night were great.” They did, however agree they were looking forward to next year’s fair. Any high school student from the age of nine to eighteen can participate in 4-H, but for most of the clubs there is a slight initiation, usually resulting in just fun and games. The Beaverhead County Fair com- bines with Labor Day to create Mon- tana’s Biggest Weekend which drew approximately one thousand people to watch the rodeo and to enjoy the per- formance of Eddie Rabbit and Sy uia. The concert, which was sponsored by the Jaycees, was a great success. The Jaycees also played a big part in hav- ing refreshments during the long sunny days of the fair which lasted about five days. 0 O £ o o a C%c o u y “o— t -i

STYLES Brenda Boyce wears a convenient braid while browsing over the latest in art at the WMC Gallery. now had a permanent place in the clos- et, but Guess jeans and mini-skirts stayed a part of fashion statements. Colors ranged from pastels to navies, peaches, and neutrals. With trendy acid washed jeans and dressier shirts, jeweled pins and big sil- ver accessories like chains, earrings and bracelets completed the look. Students paid more attention to what their feet wore. Outfits needed their own pair to show off. From canvas shoes without laces to brightly colored Converse hightops to neutral ox- fords—they all conveyed ideas about the wearer’s personality. Senior Leigh-Ann Whitworth had her own ideas of style. “I like to be cre- ative. I like to work colors into a mes- sage I can project. I put colors together to get different combinations.” Even guys got more into individual- ity. Instead of just jeans and a T-shirt, they wore pullover sweaters and classy shirts in bolder colors to go with com- fortable dress pants. Of course they still had Levis. After all, quality never goes out of style. To sum it up, if it was comfortable and stylish, it was worn. Higher clothing costs presented an- other problem to the majority who buy their own. Lance Hilton expressed a view shared by many, “I’ll only buy it if it looks good and is on sale.” Hairstyles only changed in that more was done with the basic “bob”. Sopho- more Melissa Peters said, “Everyone is growing their hair out this year and no- body bleaches it blonde anymore.” Braids complemented long hair. Ba- nana clips were gone and fergie bows were on their way out, too, but big sil- ver barrettes and twisted doos were in. % 0 L 0 O £ - Q c o v O O j. -----2-------- Fashion 3
