Top ToSc . . % If the shoe fits wear it (only if it is fashionable though). These are some of the most popular shoes: flats, hightop and Reebok tennis shoes, boat shoes, and boots. Slanguage! What exactly is ’slan- guage’? It is the language or infor- mal vocabulary particular to a cer- tain group, in this case CM stu- dents. Slang originates in the student body. Someone will say something and others will think it sounds awesome so they start saying it. Before long everyone is say- ing it, and no one knows who said it first. This years’ CM slanguage includes such phrases as Get a life! , I’m scared of you!”, and Oh sure! Many students also use the expressions “Chill Out!’’, Home- boy , Homegirl , and Buckethead.” Stacy Wilcox

Terri Carr, and Matt Wiggenhorn show current fashions. Eagtu folium tfyfej Fashion! “What will I wear?” “Does it match?” “Will anyone laught at me? “Are you sure it’s in style?” Fashion is a big part of life here, and it changes as every year passes. One used to be able to look around and see a rat tail or a new wave hair cut. This year one would probably see boys with hair cut short enough to stand up on top, and girls with a bob”, or their hair pulled back in a banana clip. During football season the “bald eagles” sported shaved heads and mohawks. Senior Kevin Kappler says, it was a lot of fun, but I don’t think I’d want to do it again. Each year new fads are created, and others are forgotten. A person will no long- er see an OP shirt or an Izod. He will more likely see a paisley shirt, a 10-button Out- back Red shirt, or a variety of Forenza clothing. He will also see oversized sweat- ers, shirts with weird designs and turtle- necks. A person will probably not see para- chute pants but will view Lee, Levi, Chic, and Guess jeans. He will see stirrup pants, leggings, and stone washed denims. Shoes are also a part of fashion. One will see guys in Air Jordan, Converse, or high top tennis shoes. Cowboy boots and boat shoes are also worn. Silver flats are popu- lar among the girls this year, as are boots, Reebok tennis shoes, and different colored flats. Shirts, pants, and shoes are all a part of fashion; accessories also play an important role. Add-a-bead necklaces and both gold and sterling silver chains are popular this year. Tri-gold jewelry was also another popular item. Swatch watches and yarn bracelets are seen around many wrists. Many girls add big earrings and brooches to complement their outfits. Stacy Wilcox Fashions Levi, Guess, and black denim were some of the “in” jeans to wear this year.

Help wanted: Taka Uti job and iove, (t Is the labor force ready for teenagers? C.M. students seem to think it is. Clubs and sports are not the only extracurri- cular activities anymore. Students still love to have fun, but a work before play attitude gives them money and the free- dom associated with a new income. Due to the increasing costs of having fun and the decreasing funds from the pockets of parents, many students feel that a job is necessary. Upperclassmen are also finding that owning a car can pose many financial problems. Others, however, just like to spend mon- ey. “Do you think that I can possibly get all the clothes I need on my parent’s budget? asks senior Monica Eaker. Although spending money is nice, a job is often a necessity for the future. With financial aid going down and the price of a college education going up, conscientious students are saving their hard-earned mon- ey. I want to go to college, so I need the money a job provides me. There's no other way around it, remarks junior Jeff Ed- miaston about his job at the Alton McDon- ald’s. Fast-food restaurants and department stores are the places most teenagers work. Still, there are a few unusual jobs that are held by students. Senior Lea Dreon works at a day care center which, she says, helps me since I want to be a teacher, and I will be able to say that I’ve worked with kids.” Despite the increasing number of stu- dents with jobs, the issue of whether or not students should have a job is still contro- versial. Because of the sometimes exces- sive demands of bosses, students often put their jobs ahead of their academics. Lower grades and tired students are often the re- sults. On the other hand, many students see their jobs as a way to adapt to the real world.” The pros and cons continue for- ever, and the decision is ultimately up to the individual. No matter which way a per- son views the issue, students in the work world has become a reality. Library workers volunteer their time to provide the school with a service. They are Jackie Dorris, Debra Johnson, Alike Lamere, Tammy Basden. Brian Hen- dricks. Stephanie Basden, Lonnie Sivia, and Michelle Coder. The workers are supervised by library secre- tary Becky Wrischnick and librarian Lucille Steven- son. Jobs Service Upon a visit to Target in Alton, it is hard to miss senior Dawn Howes working at the jewelry counter at the front of the store. Here, she shows a customer the latest styles of Jordachc watches.
