| The Casual Looks Styles change each year. Two of the most prominent this year are the surfing and skating inspired looks. Skaters are easily picked out from a crowd by their baggy pants or long shorts and hightops, along with a t-shirt designed with a familiar skating logo, shop, or contest they have been involved in. Surfers are also distinctive. They can be spotted by their t-shirts or sweatshirts by Rip Curl or Instinct, by their jeans and sweatshirts, and occasionally by a sweater or buttoned down collar shirt. Shoes come in a variety of styles for the surfer including deck shoes, tennis shoes, and hightops. At any rate, people adopting the surfer or skater look opted for comfort and casualness. Jenny Forehand The Flat top. Reviving a haircut popular during the fifties and early sixties, Tommy Neal models the 80’s version of the flattop. The cut included short, very short sides, a close cropped back, and hair cut to form a flat surface across the top of the head. The hair on top was kept in place by mousse, gel and the like. The Female look. Bangs brushed to one side and a blunt cut in the back, as worn by Amy Hopkins, were typical of the female hairstyles. The Winter look. Turtlenecks worn under sweaters and buttoned collar shirts served as the standard for winter wear. Here Leigh Bender wears a navy blue turtleneck under a light blue cotton shirt. FASHION 19

Hold that pose. Modeling a popular accessory this year, the multi-colored scarf, which was worn in a variety of ways and places, is Sandra York. Myself. Senior Chuck Waddell sports the casual look and the popular wedge haircut. Back in black... and with a splash of color is Heather Gilstrap, who styles in her black pants accented with paisleys.

Sporting dreds, a popular hairstyle among the skaters, is Barry LaPlante. The look is achieved by putting any stick substance around - mouse, gel, toothpaste, soap - in the hair. The unfortunate thing about the look was when one decides to get rid of it. Often a person must shave the head to buzz cut to get rid of the dreds. Looking good. Sporting the muted look in sweaters in Tyronne Wright. He often completed the look with pleated pants and dress shoes. Tyronne was also noted for his stylish three piece suits. An Indiana fan. College sweatshirts, like the one worn by Jonathan Steinberg, were a mainstay for many, especially seniors. 18 FASHION

You Got that Look! “U got that look!” Prince’s source of inspiration could only have come from CHS, known for its “anything goes” attitude towards fashion. So the fact that “bops” seemed to be the forerunners of fashion this year is a bit surprising. Bops - you know the type - female worshippers of Forenza, Esprit, and the bobbed haircut huddle together in their very select group, critiquing the varied array of fashion. Of course, bops aren’t the only ones who have a conforming streak. And in all truthfulness, they can somewhat afford to be alike without being redundant. What with bright stretch pants, sweaters in all shapes and sizes, and eye-catching miniskirts, all splashed with bold colors, bops can have the safety that lies in conformity without completely sacrificing their own individual tastes. And perhaps the sacrifice is worth it to the bops. After all, most of them are popular, enjoy an active school and social life, and, more importantly, feel good about themselves. Nice trade off, isn’t it? Jamie Samuels Acid man. No, he’s not a drug addict. He’s Bi lly Kearney showing off the more familiar acid washed look in denim. The psychedelic look. The popular tie dye look, modeled by Jay Levin, is a real eye catcher and a throwback to the 60’s. “Braids are beautiful.” says Drusilla Chisholm. Braids made a surprising, yet welcome, comeback this year. Things are great in ’88. The year would not be complete without the overwhelming number of senior sweatshirts, such as the one modeled here by Stephanie Allen. 20 FASHION
