Dressed For Success. All homecoming members and ‘heir escorts had to look their best. Monika Stanley 2scorted by Bud Wilson is no exception. Dressing up was all part of the Homecoming scene. FAD — an activity or fashion of widespread popularity. Fads seemed to change every day or so, just to suit the students’ moods. During the 85- 86 school year, mini skirts and flourescent shoelaces were all the rage. Then they passed through their brief lifespan and became out of date. In the school year, skirts dropped to below the knees. Girls all around campus wore plastic bracelets of millions of colors. Ear- rings either for guys or girls were never sup- pose to match. Other big accessories for either gender included gloves, hats, and necklaces. Lace gloves and sometimes one glove were worn. Also, beads — twisted, bulky, or simple — adorned students. No longer were blue jeans just plain old blue. There were flowered jeans, striped jeans, plaid jeans, not to mention the two- toned jeans. However, students still had the choice. of wearing the classic plain blue jeans. A flair for fashion Pockets were right behind jeans. However, almost every clothing item contained pockets. They covered pants, jackets, shirts, skirts, pocketbooks, and even shoes. Pockets lay at every conceivable angle too. Next was the layered look. Most people just wore two layers; a few wore more. One popular layering style consisted of the classic blouse, sweater, and jacket look. To add a touch of preppiness, ties and bow ties were added. Accessories for jackets in- cluded big hair pins and the ever popular rock buttons. Bulky sweaters, low-waisted dresses and over sized shirts all took their place in the fashion circle. At Franklin County High School an odd combination of clothes could be found. Some chose to dress as hard cores, that is punk. Others, known as future yuppies, chose a conservative, young professional look. However for the majority of students, faithful sweatshirts, blue jeans, and old ten- nis shoes could never be replaced. Rambo Goodson. Chris Goodson’s unusual style of dressing at first distracted students but then became a hit with them. Fads 11
