Shake out the moth balls: Clothes from the attic wearable tyles stay suspended in time Safety pins, watches, brooch- es, and earrings hit the scene as students at Concordia don- ned these accessories. It was the small things that added to the outfit. I still like to wear Swatches because they look nice and go with a lot of stuff, said junior Tammy Lagemann. Styles had a way of repeat- ing themselves, as clothes dat- ing all the way back to medi- eval times became popular again. I liked to wear a lot of lace and pearls because of the ro- mantic look it created, said senior Traci Douglass. Clothes with a more recent history, the 60 ' s, also became popular. Girls could be seen wearing giant hoop earrings, gold or silver shoes, a sleeve- less high necked dress, or leggings. Guys were affected by this trend as they too wore clothes from the past. They could be seen walking the halls wearing Styles weren ' t always based on the present and the future, as in this case where sophomore Car- men McGee and senior Rachel Pe- terson wear clothes dating from Victorian times to the 60 ' s. suspenders either attatched to their pants or hanging from their waists. I think that the older styles came back in because they looked like fun to wear, said Lagemann. Attitudes about fashion dif- fered from student to student, but moods and feeling com- fortable still determined what they wore. I don ' t follow the latest styles. I think they are trendy and competitive. I wear what I want to wear because I like it, and that usually depends on the mood I ' m in. I like safety pins, my leather jacket, and combat boots always. Polish them up and you can wear them anywhere, said junior Chris Gordon. I like to wear clothes by Coca-Cola, Guess, and Ben- neton because they are stylish and comfortable, said fresh- man Valerie Parr. — Michelle Dorothy Funky and wild was the look of the watches seen most often on the wrist of a CLHS students.

Parents steer students to outside activities portin ' out of school Turf, ice, water, and dirt. Con- cordia students found time to enjoy their favorite sports out- side of school, even after teachers had given homework. Riding every day, I some- times had to put off studying, but eventually I got it done, said junior Julie McMillen. Students found that their parents had encouraged them to start at an early age in sports not offered through school. My mom wanted me to get involved in dancing when I was in first grade. I wasn ' t too crazy about it then but I have really learned to love the sport, said senior Barb Bienz. I started playing hockey when I was four years old, and every year I looked forward to getting back out there and seeing old friends, stated ju- nior Craig Linnemeier. Long hours of practice usu- ally paid off for those who were dedicated. I took horse- back riding seriously. I rode two hours a day, and I consid- ered it as important as any guy considered football, said McMillen. Attending everything the athletes wanted to wasn ' t al- ways possible to do. They gave up many of Concordia ' s social functions in order to participate in their outside ac- tivities. I sometimes couldn ' t go to the football games or dances because of a tennis match the next day, said sophomore Amy Rickner. Along with the thrill of com- petition was the thrill of travel- ing. We traveled to different cities every weekend, and we always had a good time, said Linnemeier. We had dancing competi- tions every weekend which took us to Indianapolis, and we were in parades in Ohio and all over Indiana, stated Bienz. Being in sports outside of school seldom left time for those who wanted to be in- volved in school activities. If I didn ' t swim all year, I would probably go out for tennis or basketball, said sophomore Julie Chickedantz. If you really enjoyed some- thing enough, you found the time to get things done, stat- ed Bienz. — Sarah Roemer Dancing lakes up much of senior Barb Bienz ' s oul-ol-school lime Although she felt at limes she had to sacrifice social activities, she rated the experience as important Playing hockey and spending many hours a week at M Rink. |unior Craig Lmne • both exercise and recreation and competing go to- aphomore Jeff Beroct 19
