Actlvltles fcon ,tj Sports are among the most popular monotony break- ers. Tennis, basketball, football, baseball and other sports take up students' interests as the different seasons arrive. Television, radio and hobbies also take up after-school and weekend time. But perhaps the most time consuming factor lother than schooll is the everchanging scene of the fad. The fad is a style or item which becomes extremely popular among people - mainly students. Presents fads include custom vans, plat- form shoes, layered look hair styles, faded levis, citizen band radios, skateboards, foosball, and concerts. Not only do these fads consume time, but they also consume money. This pres- ents a serious problem for the unemployed teen. ln order to keep up with today's fashions and fads, a steady income is needed. Therefore, another pastime, not as time-consuming as a iob, is formed. But it's iust as important! What is it? Why, it's asking Dad for a loan!!!
