' Dyed, Dotted and Plaid ' Sporting an Izod sweater and a Ralph Lauren shirt, Jerod Gilbert crams for a vocabulary test next period. Gators became popular with a wide variety of students. Although it wasn ' t out of Vogue or GQ, North did have its own flair for fashion. From wild new wave to conservative prep, all students had a niche they fit into. Even those who wore jeans and T-shirts considered this their special way of dress and wouldn ' t have changed for anything. I like the way I dress. I refuse to conform just for the sake of conforming, commented Jon Hall. Since the clothing of the year differed greatly from group to group, variations also occurred in the places people shopped. Different stores carried certain styles: Contempo and May Co. for Rock-a-billy, new wave, and prep; The Limited and GHQ for preppy or dressy; Miller ' s Outpost for basically casual clothing; and for that perfect punk look, the Goodwill and thrift shops provided inexpensive but unique clothing. Shoes were not to be overlooked. Many new styles came into view, as well as the old favorites. Top Siders and penny loafers hit a high along with multi-colored tennis shoes and pumps. Likewise, Nikes and Vans remained at the top of many students ' lists. There was a wide variety of clothing, accessories, and shoes worn this year, depending on what people felt was in , but essentially everyone dressed to be comfortable (physically as well as mentally). Students didn ' t feel any real pressure to dress a certain way schoolwide. I feel as if I can wear whatever I want. Some people may comment, but they ' re not going to keep me from wearing what I ' m comfortable in, said Sherri Casto. fashion 39

Wearing an argyle vest is Doug Crevling. Argyle sweaters and socks, a cross between new wave and prep styles, cropped up everywhere. Dressed in the latest new wave attire, Ron Ostland and Ozzie Walker watch the people pass by be- tween classes. Walker ' s Mohawk haircut attracted a lot of attention earlier in the year. Joking about something in Angela Becerra ' s science book, Becerra, Debbie Dunlavey, Sona Chiranian, and Amita Sharma model some of the newest and oldest fads: jeans, crew neck sweaters, pumps, blazers, and espadrille9. 38 student life II
