22 Pads Pads Sweep The Nation Calvin Klein, Liz Clairborne, Oscar de la Rente, Gloria Vanderbilt and Sassoon all appeared in the halls of Charles Page . . . not in person, but in the form of their designer jeans, as they became popular attire during the school year. The jeans were so well- accepted by the teenage market, that stores in Tulsa and surrounding areas sold small metal plates on which one could engrave his name. These were sewn onto pockets of the jeans to cre- ate the wearer's own designer look. Another new style of clothing was a slimmer cut in women's dresses. Men's apparel continued the same trend as last year, though ties were cut smaller. The Annie Hall look was no longer considered fashionable. High school girls began to dress neater, of- ten trading slacks or tattered blue jeans for slit skirts or Gunne Sax dresses. The way people are dressing now is much more conservative and preppy. It seems that everyone is co- ordinating their outfits better than in the past, stated junior Vicki Scott. Velour became a popular fabric and wide corduroy was still in style. The boys continued to wear straight- legged Levi's and Nike tennis shoes, or boots. Short hair also came back in style for men. Women's hair styles featured medium lengths and curls. Most fe- males wore their hair freely, straying away from the short, precise look. Television shows geared to the teenage audience also became popular, as many students came home early from dates to catch The Best of Sat- urday Night Live or its counterpart on Saturday nights. Mr. Bill swept the nation with his echoing cry of OOHI'I NOOO!!! on Saturday Night Live, along with some other skits such as the Cone- head family and the Loud and Nuclear families. Small car sales topped the auto mar- ket because they featured better mile- age, conserving energy and money. I decided to invest in a small car because I can get better mileage with the cost of gas going up, exclaimed junior Shelly Nardyz.
