SUBCULTURE Throughout the ages sociologists have been trying to explain why teenagers form their own subcultures — groups which have their own distinctive style of clothing, music, and hang-outs. Redon- do had its share of these groups leaving teachers and students in awe of their strange behavior. The new wave kids, who enjoyed mu- sic by Siouxsie and the Banshees, Kom- munity F K, and others, rolled their pants above their ankles, wore white socks, black semi-pointed shoes, shirts with the names of bands on them and black leather jackets. The surfers usually wore Jimmy ' z, Gotcha, or Quicksilver, with thongs or Ugh! boots. They liked reggae music and could be heard speaking their own beach lingo. The cheerleaders liked dance music and tried to be more trendy than other kids on campus. The jocks liked to wear their big red and white jersies and tight jeans every Friday, while trying to act macho to impress themselves and others, as if being in a sport was not enough. Where and how did these subcultures begin? Parents and sociologists contin- ued to wonder. But, however and wher- ever they started, they continued to grow and flourish on the RUHS campus.
