FASHION BEAT To old friends in new classes, a fresh new look at CHS has been set around us. Yeah, I know there's been a few changes like new teach- ers, but that's not all. Come on now, look at the people around you — in classrooms, in the halls and walking to and from classes. What have you noticed about them? That's right, their clothes. A style noticed by CHS students has definitely added to these changes. Instead, these different haircuts, mini-skirts, and mini-boots are fashion on the beat, throughout the nation and somewhat at CHS. If you were to look back through your mom's and dad's yearbooks you would see long stringing hair on both males and females, but the look now is not only made up of diverse clothes, but also hairstyles. They are worn to play up the face, discover necks and make eyes look enormous. These free-spirited styles on both males and females are turn- ing heads to a punk-inspired look, accomplished without blow-drying, curlers or irons — just the finger- combed hair. Now I know the punk styles may not be your bag , so let's look at the flip side of the fash- ion world. Jeans have also been on the scene, from baggies to their con- trasting super-straight legs, while preppy clothes always find a niche and not only among the Greek cir- cles. Penny loafers, khakis, button down shirts, Izod sweaters and skirts, and levis. Sweats and somebody's old football jersey are also a com- mon picture. They are topped off with a pair of Reebok tennis shoes which are considered as the go with anything footwear. Magazines and New York designers supposedly dictate what every stu- dent should be wearing, but what students should wear and what they do wear are not always the same.
