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.

STARTING OVER On a hot, humid August day, stu- dents of CHS, those new and old, all began to move in. Registration was an event suffered by every- one, especially the freshmen who had no idea as to where to go and what was up next. Even though the freshmen had registered dur- ing the summer, a person could no- tice the expressions of fear painted on their faces as each one came through those long, endless lines. The upperclassmen knew the rou- tine, but just the idea of having to go through registration was a torture. Again they experienced the re- scheduling because the class they had wanted was either filled or can- celled. But the regret of most stu- dents was the realization that the teacher they had hoped to avoid tak- ing, was the only one available for that particular course. This caused the flaring of tempers and the re- morse of starting over. Students came to realize that they must face the ordeal of having to give up their last pennies to the sec- retanes for fees. But after all the has- sles of the day, it had begun to end in a happy note. The worse part of starting over had blown through.
