This is defined os the Money - this coveted green poper is one thing mony teens find difficult to hold onto for long, And just whot do they do with the precious dollors they do hoppen to hove stoshed owoy? No doubt o greot por- tion of it goes to some form of foshion or the clothes industry, for in order to remoin up-to- dote, trendy clothes ore one necessity thot just connot be possed over. But not just ony old designer will do. Unfor- tunotely, the in designers such os Georges Morcion, creotor of the populor Guess? line of clothing, Espirit, ond Guc- ci, os in the purse, de- mond exclusive prices for their foshions. But clothes ore but o minor expense com- pored to the fortune thot onother teen essentiol, o cor, costs. Yes, the pleoding ond whining for thot sporty red Porsche or Mercedes convertible is the night- more thot mony porents foce when their child reoches the oge of 16. However, those students not lucky enough to secure the 520,000 from mom ond dod for o sports cor often hove to settle for Aunt Mortho's green, 1960 clunker for o more offordoble price. In post yeors, two to be exoct, mony students foced the unoppeoling doom of untonned bodies during the cold winter months of the QP, Neely school yeor but not onymore, No, thonks to some intelligent inventor who introduced the tonn- ing solon, complete with concer-cousing UVB roys ond oll, one con remoin bronzed ond beoutiful the whole yeor 'round The S6 fee per session is o price mony glodly loy down when foced with the dreoded olternotive of o white body. And finolly, on ex- pense which mostly guys ore foced with: the cosh doled out for o dote. With the price of o movie ticket ot S5 ond the cost of o homburger ronging from 99 cents to 58.50, depending on if it is bought ot McDonolds or Bennigonsp the doting gome is onything but cheop. For this reoson, mony moles welcome with open orms the liberoted woy of splitting the cost of o dote with their portner by going Dutch. And though these ex- penses moy seem o bit triviol compored to wor- ries of house or college poyments, in high school they con seem to be the determining foctor of one's sociol life. So it is not hord to undestond why soving o buck is so difficult for the overoge teen. Even though mony students hold jobs, the money crunch is o definite prob- lem. The Big Squeeze is just thot.
