1 WHAT ' S IN A NAME? What ' s in a name? Everything if your name happens to be Caivin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, or Ralph Lauren. These and oth- er famous designers appear on the der- rieres of millions of satisfied customers — mainly fashion conscious teen-agers. Fashion magazines dazzle teen ' s eyes with all the bizarre and expensive collec- tions of designer wear, suited for school days and an evening out on the town. Granite City is a conservative town in the fashion industry. Paris, New York, and Los Angeles are the leader in this field. Howev- er, students of Granite City South were not unconscious of the trendy items that are selling these days. Just roaming the halls, one could find from active western wear to the sophisticated preppy look. When asked why people buy designer clothes, a lot of students said they want Calvin Klein ' s because of the name, as a type of status symbol. Renata Brylak, junior, stated I love to shop at Saks and buy my nice dresses there.” The preppy look was everywhere. It was a classic look-neat, attractive and very ex- pensive to achieve. If for some reason you wanted to be called a preppy, just come to school wearing deck shoes and oxford shirt, and of course designer jeans. Then you might want to add little extras such as an Izod belt that is adorned with the ever present alligator. Mike Moore, senior, had a comment about clothing. I love to wear Izod clothes, because my mom buys them for me. I like to feel a little dressed up.” Fads do not always have to pertain to clothes- the feet also can attain the vogue look. Besides wearing Nike tennis shoes, high tops have emerged from the basket- ball court onto the halls of the school. Many students, girls and guys, could be seen run- ning around with white and even orange high tops. After talking about achieving the in-look, considerable amount of time should be used to think about cost. If you can ' t or don ' t want to pay the high cost of designer clothes, you can achieve the same effect by wearing imitations. The quality may not be as good, but the look is almost identical. Darlene Kaempf, senior, remarked, “I like to buy designer clothes because they are more durable and fit better.” Designer clothes and fads might not en- courage everyone to run out and buy such items, but Famous-Barr and Saks are sure tallying up the money. Whatever your pref- erence is in the fashion field, you can bet you are either in style or creating your own fad. According to Chesterfield — Style is the dress of thoughts.” Text and Design by ANGELA GRUPAS 16 DESIGNER CLOTHES FADS

1 A COLD SITUATION Winter was the time of heavy coats, snow tires, thick socks, excuses, boots and gloves, and Acts of God. It was also the time of many unanswered questions. How come my car keys fit into the door but won ' t turn? My hand nearly froze when I walked from Mr. Wilbur ' s room to Miss Veloff ' s room. Why did we have school today? The snow plows, four-wheel trucks, and tractors must make a fortune. Why was it so cold in the A-building fifth hour? Monitor didn ' t make it through the winter, did he? Will the buses be on time? Will the buses run? Aren ' t the icicles pretty? Will someone please clean my windshield off? Who piled all the snow behind my car? I don ' t have a dentention slip but my car would not start and then when I finally got it going, I did a 360-degree turn on Madison Avenue. Who splashed me? Why does it get dark so early? Do you believe this — we haven ' t had school for four days this week? What ' s an Act of God?” Text and Design by TODD GOODRICH 18 WINTER
