Everyone has experienced a little taste of fashion. Why is it so important to dress up and look better than neces- sary for school? It ' s a matter of self pride. The people at Highland go all out to look good nowadays. The days of ripped jeans and dirty t-shirts are now giving way to a new look. This look is a fashionable one, and of feeling good about themselves. Part of having a high self-esteem is looking good, and looking good is the new style. Along with dressing up for fashion, girls and guys alike are into sweats, hightops, and headbands. This goes along with the athletic trend. Nowa- days, people want to be in shape and their clothes show it. Sure, it ' s great to look your best, but if your not in the fashion fad, don ' t think any less of yourself.

Money! A real cruncher With all the other things affect- ing the lives of teens this year, Raeganomics and the worst reces- sion in years colored not only the life style of teens, but many of their attitudes and relationships as well. With money in short supply and jobs hard to find, many teens had to face the fact of not always following every fashion and of possibly cutting back on evening ' s at Shakey ' s or Burger King. With a trip to Southlake Mall averaging at least $10 per person on a general social excursion, even U.S. 30 saw fewer Highland students than usual making the trip over to roam around Southlake, buy munchies at the Cookie Place or a restaurant, and even the amount of money spent in Camelot Music saw a no- ticeable decline. Cosmetics and clothes remained high on girls ' list of expenses, while entertainment, and accord- ing to research — alcohol — re- mained high on the list of ex- penses for boys. With money get- ting tighter as the year went on many teens found themselves making some hard decisions on where to cut back. Girls chose to buy less jewelry while guys decid- ed to drive less or possibly not go out to fancier places with their dates. This was definitely a year of choices! Creamer It Adds Up!
