Many of these styles can be worn with jeans, or for more dressier occasions. Long-time stand-by, tennis shoes, are worn by both boys and girls more than any other type of shoes. They are usually for leisure wear, but provide much comfort when a lot of walking is required. l think tennis shoes are the best thing that ever happened, said Kelvin Thompson. They are best for most sports and come in a wide variety of styles, They are usually fairly inexpensive, but some of the more well-known brands, such as Adidas, can cost as much as S30 or 540. Nike or Adidas tennis shoes are the best quality because they're built better than other brands, said Rich Eulkley of Athletes Foot. They range in price from S15 to 3540. Adidas are our most popular brand, but our shoes are specialized for particular sports, When shopping for shoes, it is important to go for comfort as well as style. Although those high heels may make someone look taller, if walking in them all day hurts their feet, they aren't worth the price they may pay - in dollars or blisters, A person should make sure a shoe fits before buying it. lt is advisable to try on both shoes with the socks they will be worn with and Walk around the shoe store with them on. lf they are comfortable enough that they can be worn all day and they look good, then that pair is probably the right pair to buy. Even if one is purchasing a pair of shoes for a special event or to wear with one certain outfit, they should try to pick a pair that will go with a majority of their wardrobe. Check the shoes for quality. Will the seams come apart after a few wearings? Are those soles going to wear through if they are worn often? lf so, these shoes probably are not worth their price, even if it is a real bargain, Look for the best buy, but those few extra dollars might be worth the long wear you fcontfnued on page 282 trends and fashions

Unnecessaries enhance appearance uspenders, shawls, scarves, belts, barretts, caps, jewelry and sometimes even sweaters were the most used style accessories at school. No matter how many people wore the same things, accessories looked different on different people and showed the individuals taste as well as personality. Suspenders varied in colors and sizes and even prices depending on width and where they were bought. Often they were not to be found anywhere in town and many students heard the line that they were on order and would be in any day now. Brightly colored and from l to 2 inches wide, suspenders opened eyes early in the morning. Worn with jeans and T-shirts, they added color and variety to a wardrobe. Although Suspenders were supposed to be worn instead of a belt, often a belt accompanied them. Sometimes not needed to hold up pants, belts worn depended on the slacks worn. Kickers wore western belts with buckles to complete the overall look. Leathercraft class helped some students to design and manufacture their own belts to reflect their individual taste and artistic ability. Braided jute belts were also worn with jeans. Scarves moved around on the body of students. Some found that wearing them around the neck was fashionable while others liked them on top of their hair. Frequently they were worn like turbans or in a gypsy style tied on the side or in back. When worn around the neck they were tied on the side or in front. Colors and patterns depended on the rest of clothing worn. Sizes of scarves relied mostly on where they were to be worn. A shawl was the perfect ac- cessory tor a cool evening.
