FASHIONS, FADS In this rapidly developing country, where fads have become a fad, many people have become concerned that they may have contracted “‘fadilitis’’. HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOU HAVE FADILITIS? — Were you the first one to run out and buy a cassette recorder, only to have it replaced in popularity by a Walkman just a few months later? And so you had to get that. — Were you the first one to pur- chase cowboy boots, only to have them replaced by the millions of short, flat boots? So you had to get a pair. — Were you the first one to buy a Rubik’s cube and whittle your solution time down to thirty seconds, only to have its attention focused on Atari. So you had to invest in that. — Did you finally grow your hair long enough to braid stylishly, only to have feathered-punk make the head- lines? So you had to cut it. — Have you finally collected all of the top twenty hits, only to have the listing change? So you have to update your collection. If you think you have the symptons of ‘‘fadilitis’’, do not despair; its conta- gious, so you'll be in good company! Patti White struts her stuff at the science build- ing. 14 Fashion has always been a trade- mark of Lexington High School stu- dents, whether it be the traditional “preppy look”’ or the eccentric new wave punk. A “prep”’ can be easily spotted by looking for a small alligator ona shirt which has its collar turned up. During the months of winter the alliga- tor sometimes disappears under a car- digan or chamois shirt, but “‘preps’’ are still recognizable thanks to their cham- ois and docksiders. Outfit variation does occur, however, on rainy days when docksiders are replaced by mud- mocks and chamios shirts by raincoats adorned with strawberries or whales, compliments of Papagallo. With the arrival of sophomores came an entirely new look-punk. Miniskirts, which were worn by a daring few last spring, are now essential to a ward- robe. Nikes and clogs are slowly being replaced by spike heels, pumps, and flats. Shirts and sweaters no longer end at the waist, but stop just above the knee and are worn with narrow pants or colorful tights. When the weather is too chilly for bared legs toasty leg warmers are pulled out. For the first time there are students with color co- ordinated hair in hues of blue, green yellow and pink. But if you prefer dressing for comfort don’t despair. Stu- dents still wear jeans along with their latest concert tee-shirt. Lisa Matlin seems quite happy in her mini. With these sneakers you don’t need reflectors ...
