All dressed up And everywhere to go RauA CoiLtufc Going In Style S ak ' s Fifth Avenue, Lord and Taylor, Neiman Mar- cus — all glorious sym- bols for one common thing — high fashion. Le Haut Couture as the French would say, is a very important as- pect in many high school stu- dents ' eyes. Problems appear when fash- ions change, and the short-lived fad items are suddenly not cool . A brand new craze this year was the gold silver-shoes-with-purse to match fad. At least half of the school ' s population must have owned at least one pair by the end of the first six weeks. Also, the leather shoe-boots became immensely popular with girls. Suspenders seemed to be the in thing for guys and, surprisingly, Forenza proved itself to be more than just a short-lived fad. Zoeteman Shopping is one of the most fun parts of fashion. This applies more to the girls rather than guys since some (although it seems like most) of the young men seem to have their mothers buy all their clothes for them. But there are exceptions to every rule and surely one will find a man here and there who enjoys shopping for himself. Money is sometimes scarce but there are affordable and attractive fashions available. All teenagers may not have the means to go with the high fashion of Sak ' s, but Highland students still man- age to look good! ♦ Alexandra Kostur How ' s this?

Experience teaches in foreign lands and close to home Travel (Cont ' d.) the summer contained a move from family into a dorm with all the other French students. This was a tear-forming thing to do, but made responsibility and ma- turity a necessity Living or visiting a different country gives way to many changes and new thoughts about the country that one lives in. Many students have found that they are not as informed about their own country as are foreign- ers. Also, when one is able to read the publications of another coun- try, the view those people have of this country is revealed. Some- times this can be quite surprising. When one looks around Europe, one sees much American influ- ence. American flags on clothes, Coca-Cola addicts, and greeting cards with American characters and sayings on them are not rare sights. These are factors which are so contrary to what is found in some of the newspapers. America seems to be so popular fad fashion wise, yet, the only story on America found in one French newspaper compara- ble to The New York Times, was on the four girls involved in the stabbing death of an elderly woman in Lake County. Many students still found that their host families wished to visit the U.S.A. and some wish to work here. There is much to learn from other nations; much about the world and much about ourselves. ♦ Devonne A short trip to the Limited at South- lake Mall finds Karen Klickmann try- ing on a new sweater — and checking her purse.
