They ' re Always In Style Style was a prominent factor in the lives of most teens. Concordia teens devel- oped their own personal standards for fashion. Senior Kassie Simerman like to wear clothes for whatever moods struck me. I like to dress in between a preppy and a slob, said junior Dave Moellering. What were the main fashions? The preppy look more than any- thing else, said sophomore Jenni- fer McMillen. Telly Nakos thought people were starting to dress up more. Black and white or the tuxedo look, Jennifer Parrott said. Being in fashion was very impor- tant to many Cadets. It ' s impor- tant how you dress. It communi- cates to people, said Cathy Ma- lott. To other students it was not. I don ' t think its the most important thing, but it ' s more comfortable, sophomore Sarah Owen said. Most students felt that being in style could be very expensive. For a season like fall-winter, it can cost around $1000, senior Kellie Franke said. Were teens willing to spend the money? I was if I had the money, said freshman Chris Newby. It was often troublesome, so why did teens follow trends? It ' s what the stores are selling, said senior Jeff Williams. Malott felt people at school put on the pressure to dress fashion- ably. Style, or fashion, was more than just the clothes, though. It ' s the clothes that match the personality of that person, said Nakos. An Important fashion statement this sea- son is ' borrowed from the boys, ' said junior Maureen Butler. In the Japanese Gardens Kim Miller, Scott Newby, and Libby Ferguson model city chic and the rugged look. I ' m glad bows and sweaters are in fashion because I enjoy wearing them, said junior Sandi VonDeylen. in the know — fashions 15

Having a job let me have some spending money and a chance to do something on my own, said junior Tina Salyer, an Atz ' employee. I worked about 18-20 hours a week including weekends, com- mented senior Steve Horine, who worked at Rogers in Times Cor- ners. Having a job made me feel good about myself, but it some- times got to be a drag. Most of the students who worked liked having the responsi- bility and enjoyed the money it brought in, but sometimes it inter- fered with their social lives. Claire Lahey, junior, employee of Tater Junction in Glenbrook said, I didn ' t have as much free time, but if there was something spe- cial like a dance, I would usually change my work schedule. My employer was really good about that. Sophomore Brett King worked at the Health Food Shoppe. I could always be doing other things when I had to work. It seemed like all the fun things hap- pened when I was working, he said. Cadets held a wide variety of jobs — everything from cashier to lifeguard to hardware store clerk to carryout in a grocery store to messenger for a law firm to pizza maker. Senior Jon Cordes, a por- ter at Hillcrest Bowl said, I emp- tied ashtrays, swept floors, picked up bottles, and fixed bowling pins when they were out of place. Regardless what the job, the extra money seemed to make it worthwhile for most students. All I do with my money is buy clothes, put gas in the car, and put about $50 in the bank after each pay- check, senior Kris Trygg said. 16 part-time jobs
