Fads K ■■■ and fashions seem to go in and out of style so fre- quently it ' s hard to keep up with the latest fashions or do people really care about fads anymore? Fads are a funny thing! You ' ll hear someone criticize someone else ' s clothing, but within a week they ' ll be wearing something just like the clothes they made fun of. I just wear what whatever I like, not worrying what oth- er people think, said senior Brian Roye. This year seemed to be a big year for fashion statement at GHS. Nowadays they ' re are so many different kinds of clothes on the market that one could get away with wearing almost any- thing. When walking down the hall, one might see a wide range of clothes; leather jackets, Guess jeans, mini- skirts, western boots and accessories and Coca-Cola sportswear. The op- tions seem to be unlimited. Everyone dresses according to their group of people that they hang around with (preps, punkers . . . etc.). I like to dress up for school but on week- ends, I like leather and spikes, said ju- nior Amy Pement. Most people have their own thoughts and ideas on what is “in and “out according to their unique per- sonalities or lifestyles. Also many will ar- gue on fads and fashions — sometimes what one person thinks is great, others might not be caught dead in. This is the leather era: black leather pants and black leather jackets. Also, the mafia look is in! said senior Rob Kirby. The thing that ' s in is black leather jackets with chains and ripped pants. I think those Miami Vice jackets are way out of it— paisley is in. I think people are too afraid to dress differ- ently, it seems like everyone dresses the same, said senior Rocky Kolbert. Sometimes clothes that have been around for ages make a big come- back. I think the most prominent fad of this year is the jean jackets. Alot of people have them already and more new ones show up everyday. The best thing is there are a lot of different styles to go with anyone, said junior Liane Patrick. I think right now, there is no main fash- ion statement. Everyone basically wears clothes that suit their personality and style the best, said junior Kelly Zylo. Hey I What ' s up? While taking a break from their classes Junior Mirjana Balac. senior Kird Volpe. senior Stacy Brady and sophomore Chris Galam- bos discuss the latest fashions. Walking down the halls on almost every GHS stu- dents were Reebok tennis shoes. Many preferred them over Nike and Converse because of fhe comfort they provided 20 —Fads and Fashions

Gossip Rumors: New News Always Did you hear Roams The Halls the latest? R emember me? My name is gos- sip. I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing, I break hearts and ruin lives. I ' m cunning and malicious and I gather strength with age. The more I am Quoted, the more I am believed. I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless. They can not protect themselves against me because I have no face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become. I am nobody ' s friend. Once I tarnish a repu- tation, it ' s never quite the same. My name is gossip. Rumors— Gossip— Lies. It seems to be the thing everyone complains about in Griffith. So why do people do it? People gossip and spread rumors because in a strange way it makes themselves feel better about accept- ing their own failures by being able to point them out in someone else. said Mrs. Margie Keithley. I feel people gossip because when they do it they receive a lot of atten- tion from their friends and even people they don ' t know. said junior Liane Pat- rick. Sometimes people get blamed for gossipping— even if they ' re not. People always seem to think that I ' m a gossip just because I talk loud and a lot, however, I won ' t say anything that I ' ve heard about people that I like. People I don ' t like though, well, that ' s a different story. said junior Kris Bowron. Have you every tried to track down a rumor? It seems as if everyone heard it from someone else. If all of these peo- ple are really telling the truth— then who ' s spreading the gossip?? Gossip is usually spread by people who are jealous. They have nothing better to do than sit around and talk about other people. When people gossip about others it makes them feel better. said junior Irene Djukic. People gossip mainly because they have this uncontrollable mouth that goes 65mph in a 35mph zone. They also have one other fantastic charac- teristic, they have this nose that some- how stretches into places it doesn ' t be- long. Usually they talk about someone that they either don ' t like, or that they are jealous of. The gossippers usually pick up some little bits or pieces of someone else ' s business and they add what they think should go along, and the next thing you know there is some outlandish, wild story going around that seems to grow in color as it reaches someone new. Basically these people have nothing for brains and don ' t know their head from a hole in the ground! said senior Shawn Jacoby. Hey Tiff! How do you think you did on that test?
