if l lv Eastern look dominates scene This year fashion at Mason City High School took on a more tradi- tional Eastern look as students adopted the preppie look for both guys and gals. Lee jeans, khaki's, cords, and levis were worn by many as well as oxford button-down shirts and blouses in pink, blue, and yellow. Wool pull-over sweaters, sweat pants, white leather tennis shoes, and Topsiders without socks were seen among student apparel. Backpacks were also popular as students looked for a convenient way to transport their books from room to room and home again. Girls also donned Fair lsle sweat- ers, print turtle necks, bermuda shorts, knickers, kilts, and minis. Grosgrain belts and hair ribbons, Coach and bermuda bags, and sand dollar jewelry were also up-to-date accessories. Girls also wore black patent leath- er pumps, and sandals for dress, while donning penny loafers, Bean moccasins, and espadrilles for more casual occasions. 1:5 -75 PURELY PREP-Chris Winship models a stylish initialed turtleneck. AW, COME ON-Sophomore Eric Aspenson models his favorite lzod. Both guys and gals wore name athletic shoes for comfort. These in- cluded Nike, New Balance, Tiger, Etonic, Adidas, and others. The guys were seen,'for the most part in casual attire during the school day. Many wore jeans, button downs, sweaters, flannel shirts, or their favorite college t-shirt. Shorter haircuts also became more popular as guys went for a more clean-cut look. Some, how- ever, sported perms. Many girls wore their hair longer and curled with whispy bangs. While some students hung to the more radical look, most students turned to the more traditional, prep- pie look which reflected a more con- servative society not only in clothing but in politics, values, and view- points. Although some males sported ear- rings andthe punk look gained some followers, the traditional clean-cut look gained a lot of ground this year.
