EOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT fashions St fads H T GCES ARCU , CO ES AROU D hat's hot in fashion this year? That's a question not easily answered as fashion is widely diverse and to each person it means something different. Despite this fact, dis- tinct patterns in what people are wearing seem to catch on every year, that goes without saying. One of the hottest topics in fashion is definitely legs! Two ofthe best new looks this season are shorts and miniskirts, they're seen left and right, in every different size, shape and color. A change in the dress code rules allowing shorts to be worn no more than two inches above the knee has made shorts a must have item in everyone's wardrobe this year. Styles range from colorful jams to baggy khaki's-to form fitting cycling shorts. And these aren't the only leg-bearing pieces students are wearing! More and more, skirts have become an essential part of girl's wardrobes. What's the latest? The return of the mini. Not since the sixties have miniskirts been worn so short. But although it's being called the rebirth of the mini, that's not exactly true. There are major differences between the sixties version and the updated eighties version. One prominent difference is that now there is more than one shout look. And there are a wide variety of styles and colors. No matter if students are wearing shorts or miniskirts, one thing for sure, legs are highly visible everywhere! Another hot topic in fashion this year is carefree sports- wear. Knit pieces in stripes or solids, neutral colors like all black or all white steal the scene. Another sixties rerun that's gone eighties mod is Texas tie-dying. Pants, tops and even plain white t-shirts are hand dyed by a lot of students who prefer to have original fashion. Almost everything is paired offwith ajeansjacket, another must have. Some guys are even seen sporting just a jeans jacket, and no shirt underneath. Jeans, the piece that's said to be always in fashion took on a whole new meaning this year. Casual is a word often used to describe them as some students even wore them torn-in-the knee or cut off. Some students were actually wearing old favorites that had been worn so much- holes began appearing, while it was obvious that some sacri- ficed brand new jeans purposely for this trendy look. Clothes aren't the only things that are sporty. A lot of student's attitudes are sporty too. Another repeat from the past, skate boarding, is a means for some to get to and from school. Other's transport in oldies but goodies like VW bugs, rabbits and others. Another aspect that can be described as sporty is student's hairstyles. Although hairstyles too, var- ied widely, many guys have obviously taken time to get such looks as the spike and the mohawk. The replay in hairstyles for guys? The flat-top. Girls seem to want a more Mau natu- ral look. Yet another style seen in the past that's made a come back: layering. And it too has taking on a new mean- ing. No longer is hair necessarily layered all around, instead subtle layering around just the face was seen all over. Although the statement what goes around, comes around is definitely true, Eldorado students have changed the saying to what goes around, comes around, and will never be the same.

A.5w WWW EOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT tradition A A LWAYS ARoUN radition is being the Freshman who is dumped head first into a trash can, getting your class ring, the Homecoming Dance and Junior-Senior prom, last but definitely not least, GRADUATION! When you're a Freshman you go to school on your first day hoping you'II make it through the day without getting hopelessly lost and without spending all of your first hour trying to get your locker open. You make it through the day and you're heading for the buses, those childish Sen- iors see you and you are head first in a near by trash can before you know what hit you. The per- fect finish lo the perfect day in high school. As a Sophomore you order your class rings and you go to the ring turning ceremony. You spend the next few weeks trying to get all your signa- tures along with a sore finger. The questiion is Will you ever get them all? The Homecoming Dance and the Junior-Senior prom are both important moments of your high school years. There are times when girls go rush- ing around looking for a dress which nobody has and the boys are renting their tuxes, corsages are bought, Iimu's are rented, and dinner reservaf tions are made. The day comes and you wake up with butterflies in your stomach. Just a little case of the nerves, The time finally arrives. Parents get camera happy and you get even more nervous. You arrive at the dance with your dream date. It's all that you expected and more. Graduation arrives all too soon for Seniors. They order their cap and gowns and receive their tassels. Walking down that aisle and receiving those diplomas is like nothing they have ever felt before and for many will never feel again. Tradition is special. It is something to look for- ward to and it is something that we will look back on with fond and happy memories. Tradition is something we will forever treasure, especially here at Eldorado!!!
