Student Wardrobe: Consists Of Varied Styles Where else but at Marshall could you find such a wide variety of dress? The diversity of the student body made for many different clothing styles. Punk. GQ. prep, and bum were just a few of the many modes of fash- ion worn at M-U. Because students didn't have to follow any trends in order to be accepted, creativity abounds and the result- ing fashion is composed of many varied styles. Clothing items seen around M-U range from black jeans to blue jeans, from polo shirts to sweatshirts, from jazz shoes to ten- nis shoes, to peacoats and sport coats. Freedom to wear what one wants allows stu- dents to express themselves through fashion in any way that pleases them. For example, popular clothing stores included Ragstock and Tatters for second-hand garments as well as Dayton's and Merle’s and other more expensive stores. While for some people fashion was ex- tremely important, others wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the latest style. But all in all, diverse clothing styles worn by our student body created a unique fashion dis- play at Marshall-U that couldn’t be found anywhere else. 18 Fashion

Life After 2:00 When the bell rang at 2:00 each day, students eagerly left the building. But where did they go? If you asked different students, you would re- ceive a multitude of answers. The favorite after- school activities however were evident in Dinky- town and parts unknown. Many students could be found among the shoppers both downtown and around the school, searching for the best bargains on the latest fashions or current number one album. “I hung out a lot at Ragstock, the used clothing store. Occasionally I found some really great clothes,” commented one Marshall-U student. People also enjoyed going out to eat or watching the latest movie together. Parties big and small were other popular diver- sions. Whenever those wild and crazy teenagers got together, the fun and ridiculous stunts abounded. Despite their cost, students also at- tended a wide variety of concerts from Judy Collins to the Rolling Stones. Of course their were those students who took on the responsibility of a part-time job after school. The most popular jobs were in restau- rants and retail stores. Some students held unique jobs in places such as a radio station or an electronics laboratory. A few people even went home and did their school-work, but wouldn’t admit this. Although the time we spent in school was pleasant, the true fun times we had took place after 2:00. Whether it was Dayton's or a double feature, students managed to have some wacky evenings of fun.
