Out with the Old — In with the New As each year came and went, so did the new trends. Last year was no exception. N Lifestyles — New Trends Neon fashions and brigiit bold letters dominated the quickly fading parachute pants and suede boots. For the girls, big gaudy jewelry and lace ribbons tied in the hair like those worn by Madonna be- came popular. Two-toned jeans and shaker knit sweaters with oversize belts were a common sight. Cropped pants and low pumps were also very fashion- able. For the guys, the typical outfit was pleated pants, oxford shirts, thin ties, and oxford shoes. This was occasionally topped off with a hot. Sweaters with oxfords, boat shoes, and leather gym shoes never seemed to go out of style. Polos were still in, but were worn mainly during the warm months because of the chilly classrooms. Hairstyles also changed along with the accepted slang. Rat tails were popular among the guys, as was the bob with the girls. In speech the slang mega-, and ' Tm sure was replaced by cocky and sarcastic talk. As Gary Larid said when he lost his home- work, ' Tm glad I didn ' t leave all my chemistry and English home- work on top of the car when we drove off. As the year ended, so did the period of gaudy jewelry, floures- cent colors, rot tail haircuts and cropped pants. But even as these trends went out, new ones came in, making the year to fol- low as original as the lost. — Shelly Slentz — Brian Lutgens
