Kevin Williams wore a more conservative style in contrast the Anita Sutton's flowered pants, just as fenae Haislip and Kelly Hollowed donned contrasting looks. Perhaps, to sum up the styles of today Caroline Tatum wore the pastey shirt with high-topped shoes and her grandmother, Wilma Flood, wore the conserva- tive two-piece suit. From multi-pierced ears to old- fashioned jewelry, students at NHS were decked out for the Teen Scene r contrasting styles could be the motto for the styles that emerged on Oak Stump Road this year. It was a combination of the old and the new. Pinks, plaids, fluorescents, stripes, jams, regular tennis shoes, high-topped ten- nis shoes, El Jordans, Reeboks were worn by boys and girls alike. The styles were not limited to just one group. Girls wore the jams as well as the boys. These were a rebirth of the bathing suits that were worn by the surfers of the 60's. Also the bleaching of portions of the hair whether it was the rat-tail or the sides was a fad taken from the free-spirits of the 60's. The more earrings in the ears the better, for girls, but the boys who did wear earrings stuck to one in one ear. Cer- tainly, the popularity of MTV helped to create the styles as students found themselves imitating the rock stars they saw on the videos Surprisingly, jeans were not the main emphasis for the girls. They wore long skirts, short skirts, flowered pants or baggy pants With them were the baggy sweaters that were so popular in the 40's.

There was a lot of controversy of students hanging out on Ehringhaus Street, and trying to keep up with their friends, but All Work and No Play Makes jack A Dull Boy'' This may be so for some people but not for the fellow Eagles. As the day has come to an end you see stu- dents setting aside their books, and picking up their uniforms in order to make some money. Leaving the Eagle Territory, becoming cashiers, bag boys, stockpersons, and filling other various positions, the students still managed to go to work, and still found time to do their homework. Students not working spent their time at the mall socializing and shopping. No one said it would be easy, having a job, and going to school too, but for students at Northeastern it was just a way of life. Clockwise: Rodney Reindeer seemed to be liv- ing it up in Pat's Hallmark Shop between Janet Arnold and Michele Morgan. All play and no work seemed to be what Sharon James and Troy Overton enjoyed doing best. Stopping by Belk's, Diana Mansfield seemed to be interested in buying a sweater. Playing the roll of Santa's helper, Jeffery Flowers supervised Gwen How- ard in taking pictures of children with Santa Claus. It must have been nice for Jenean Gray to have served Mike Berry, a fellow student and a co-worker of Western Steer. Working at People's Drug Store, during the Christmas holi- days, Ginger Gregory seemed to be devoted to her job along with Beth Spencer. 28—Teen Scene
