■ A touch of clast—many girls were seen wearing their mother’s class rings along with their own. Junior Jon Heigl’s haircut is a current fash- ion. Shaved sideburns are becoming more popular. Hi-tops, booties, Reeboks and moccasins got a lot of wear this year. Also, many stu- dents wore their pants rolled up at the ankles because, well, it was in”! What’s In What’s Out 17

From clothes, shoes to jewelry, music PHS Students Are In Fashion-conscious students roamed the halls of PHS sporting their “in” duds wherever they went. One of the biggest fashion crazes this year was what was known as frosted den- im. It was everywhere. There were frosted jeans, shirts, shoes, purses, jackets, dresses and jewelry. Another big thing this year was shoes. They came in every shape, color and tex- ture imaginable. Exotic animal skins such as lizard, snakeskin and ostrich were sure hits. Some shoes were dressed up with sequins, patches, rhinestones and hand- painted designs. Moccasins and cowboy boots with fringe were a hot look, too. This year’s variation for jeans was any- thing but new. “Old” was in. People bought brand new jeans that came al- ready stretched, washed, worn and torn. Faded jeans and holes in the knees were big. Jackets were seen everywhere. The big leather bomber jackets were seen more frequently; and of course, jean jackets were more popular than ever. Expensive brand names like Guess and Forenza were a hot item. “In” fragrances included Polo for guys and Giorgio for girls. Music is something that is a big part of most people’s lives, and this year saw many old songs revived by new artists. Songs like “Wipe Out”, redone by the Fat Boys; “Mony Mony”, rereleased by Billy Idol; and “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”, revived by Kim Wilde were smashes all over again. As far as what’s out, well, you might as well throw away those old gym shoes, flowered jeans, stirrup pants and old Mi- chael Jackson records. Seniors April Beasley and Cindy Toman find a quiet room to call the spirits to talk to them through their Ouija board. Many of these boards were seen throughout the hall- ways and classrooms of PHS this year. 16 What's In What's Out

Fishing, riding, sewing, reading, shopping Students Occupy Their Time We all know what PHS students do be- tween 8:30 and 3:30 every Monday through Friday. But what do they do in their free time? One of the biggest things that occupies a teenage Plattonian's time is cruising. It doesn’t even matter what day of the week it is, you can always find someone cruis- ing. On Friday and Saturday nights, Main Street is completely filled with cars. Some students go to parties to relax and socialize. Others go to Bellevue or Omaha to see one of the latest movies. Some just enjoy staying home and watch- ing a movie on a VCR. Many students like to spend some of their free time shopping. Some of the most popular places to go are South- roads, Crossroads, Westroads and the Old Market. Some students have part time jobs to keep them busy. Their work ranges from bagging groceries at local stores to keep- ing records at City Hall. Many PHS students are involved in sports. They spend hours after school practicing. Many students who are not involved in a school sport attend the games or meets. Several students spend their free time with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Others enjoy going to dances, concerts, or out to eat. Many students have hobbies that they spend their free time on. Some of these hobbies include sewing, reading, horse- back riding, drawing, fishing, and bicy- cling. Senior Dale Lingle says, “I like to ride motorcycles whenever I get the chance.”
