One needs only to re- call a few years ago and won- der whatever happened to platform shoes, long straight hair and the mod look to real- ize this is true. Many of to- day ' s styles are looking back toward the forties and fifties for their origin. Padded shoul- ders, looser fit, baggy pants, and fancy jewelry were main- stays of bygone days. Huraches along with Reeboks and the ever-popular flats are the craze of Sni- der students. Also ruffled skirts, petticoats and pony tails are right out of the fifties. However, one style that seems to be really differ- ent this year is the Outra- geous Look. Featuring weird spikey hairdos and a general unkempt look, this trend may indicate a new low in fashion savvy. The emphasis on the ' unique is designed to draw attention to the wearer. So whether you ' re preppy or punk, feminine or funky, ev- eryone has his or her way of expressing fashion, and what is in today will probably be out tomorrow.

Senior Vasco Williams III struts his stuff with this classy look of the casual suit. Extravaganza ' 87 Variety At Its Best The Snider Afro Heritage Extravaganza ' 87 was a hit show this Spring. The many hours of hard work, dedica- tion, and determination made the show a great success. This year ' s show was more than just a talent show; it was a vari- ety show which allowed many of Snider ' s students to ex- press their talents. The show consisted of mod- eling in which the students displayed the newest fashions for this spring and summer. Original dancing took place which had a style all its own. Some singing and rapping in- volved the audience emotion- ally as well as physically. Extravaganza ' 87 was cen- tered around a play about a young girl who had big dreams of becoming a star. The girl was a southern, down home girl who had a boy- friend. He broke up with her af- ter going into the service. She then met another young man and eventually ter- minated that relationship in order to pursue her dreams. She went to Mew York where she finally made it big.
