hen you walked out of Zoology on your way to your locker you saw a variety of different people. Your vision became impaired by a guy's hair that stood five inches off of his head. When you checked to see if your p a t h w a s c I e a r you noticed his skate rags which consisted of a pair of neon pink high top tennis shoes, a white T-shirt that read Vision Street Ware in red and black, and his pants were faded jeans with holes. As you approach senior Matt Butzow because of his bright pink neon glasses. The reason for the variety of appearances is the quest for individuality. Butzow described his style as basically, an unconscious ritual. He explains, I wake up, reach into my closet and the first garment usually goes on my upper body. Sophomore Ayne Jackson also describes her style as individualistic. I don't want to be trendy..I'm me and no one else, she said. I like to wear black because each color symbolizes something and black absorbs all the colors, so black means unity. Senior Todd him you realize that it was freshman Nick Cucinelli. Next you ran into a guy who had a completely different style. His hair was cut in a short non-traditional style, his shoes were the conservative Bass penny loafers, and his jeans were the popular brand Guess. The shirt he wore was a neatly pressed Polo. But you recognize him as Weaver explained, I'm not trying to make a statement. If I see something I like, I buy it. Ifit's in style that's fine too. This is my style. I'm not trying to stick out with wild colors: just with clothes. Guys wearing jewerly was also popular. Having an earring is something I've wanted for a while, and since it was my senior Fashion O 13 year I said 'What the heck.' It doesn't change who you are, it's just a piece of jewerly like a bracelet or a necklace, explained Weaver. Instead of being individualistic, other people liked to dress according to trends. Junior Antonia Plat said. People might say I'm preppy or trendy. If you like the trends--wear them. As you reached your locker you realized that like the others, you too were able to achieve a style that was all your own. 'By Jflmy Qfgonf qglrdbilfi Waliff ' to be 'trendy...I 1 like to' wear black.

C US ' M The two Lzvorite, all-consuming 0 Homestead students As seniors Thom Payne, Jeff Melton, and Dave Wendell arrived at Karma Records on North Anthony at 9:00 p.m. they were prepared to wait in line for a long time. They were even prepared to camp out the entire night. Knowing that their 12 hour wait would be rewarding in the end, they finally received their tickets for the Indianapolis U2 concert at approximately 9:00 a.m. the next morning. Payne said that camping out for 12 hours was well worth it. It was fun knowing we would be getting our tickets eventually, and also being able to be with friends. Not only did students make the eifort to travel out of town to see their favorite groups, others found they didn't have to travel at all to enjoy their favorite musicians. Ft. Wayne was visited by popular artists such as John Cougar Mellancamp, KISS, and INXS. Many students enjoyed the music of groups of years past. like Pink Floyd. Senior Russ Hem'y was lucky in the fact that he didn't have to wait in line for his ticket, but he did have to pay 15 extra dollars for it. It was well-worth it. I've been a fan of them for a long time and when they broke up in 1980, I didn't think they would get back together, but they did and I had to see them. Others enjoyed music of groups just beginning to enjoy success such as INXS. Junior Leslie Shimkus said that she liked INXS since they first came out. 'They really put on a great show. It was better at the Embassy than at the Coliseum because the crowd was a lot smaller. They were really in touch with the audience because of the smaller atmosphere and the true fans. Waiting in line for twelve hours, and paying A 15 extra dollars was the price many had to pay to see groups such as U2, Pink Floyd, and INXS, but the price to them was worth it. 'By 'Dacy Knlin .
