A Reflection of the Times The fashions and styles seen in society often tell a lot about the present times. The hippie style of the 60 ' s reflected youth revolting against the establishment, while the transition from mini skirts to the longer skirts for the women of the 70 ' s reflected the E.R.A. movement, for women no longer wished to be thought of as sex symbols, but as equals. Similarly, the diver- sity of styles in the 80 ' s, the tendency to have no unified fashion, reflects the confu- sion and the disorganization of the new decade. Although distinct styles are visible, the western style, the preppy style, and the narrow skirts worn with blazers, there is no one fash- ion that has been set aside as the in style. The hair styles are of the same diversity. Girls have both long and short, straight and curly hair, as do boys. No style is so favored by a significant number of people to call it the in style. WESTERN-STYLE wear is among Lisa Panzica ' s favorites. MODELING the look of blazers and straight skirts is Lisa Baumhower. THE P REPPY LOOK is modeled by Leslie Baumhower. SHOWING the diversity of styles are Lisa Panzica, Lisa Baumhower, Leslie Baumhower, and Chuck Hecker. Styles And Trends 15

Something for Everyone The midwest, with its four major amusement parks and its annual county fairs, offers entertainment for all people. Attractions include rides for the young, the old, and all ages in between, along with a vari- ety of games for the compe- titive. The rides range from heart-stopping roller coast- ers to old time carousels. The various parks of the area include Cedar Point and Kings ' Island, both in Ohio; Marriott ' s Great America in lUinois; and Six Flags in Missouri. Along with all the common attractions, each park is famous for one or more specific features, the main ones being roller coasters. Great America, however, is known not only for its roller coaster, the Demon, but also for the world ' s largest carousel, the Colvimbia. For people unable to attend one of these parks, the 4-H County Fairs pro- vide a substitute. Although the grandness is reduced, the fairs still provide the same excitement of rides and challenge of games, along with the same festive atmosphere. DANNY FLINT enjoys the ride down the big slide at the Saint Joseph County 4-H Fair. PROUDLY DISPLAYING her prize of a big white bear is senior Mary Ihns. DARING the gravity-defying ride, the Round Up, are Juhe Thurin, Janis Abraham, and Howard Roth. OPPOSITE PAGE: Great America ' s double carousel is reflected by the pool it faces. Amusement Parks 17
