THE WAVE OF FASHIO 1 'Fashion, it's an element of life that comes and goes with the changing times, and can 't ever be avoided, so the styles and fashions at Riverdale continued. As a few of the Beatle's oldies hit the charts again this year, so did a few fashions from the past. Almost everything came back in style except bell bottoms. Most popular of the retuming fads were the button fly jeans for guys and the mini skirts for girls, even if you can 't remember, these were very popular in your parents' days. Denim was definitely in. A very big hit in jewelery styles were hoop earrings and the Swatch Watch. Earrings were fashionable in tones of gold, silver, bronze, and copper. Swatches came in many different colors and many different styles. Bulky high neck sweaters were very popular this year also. The girls who played volleyball this year had to dress up for games and they found that the fashionable baggy dress pants came in handy. The shoes that were in style were very big attention- getters. Shoes could have been any style and fit in. Fashions for the girls included a number of different things. Hair styles that were in style included short, wavy, tousled hair with an angle cut at the ears. Flat shoes were also a favorite for RHS girls. The guys at RHS weren't plain, to say the least: they also caught the wave of style. Hairstyles for the guys included the spiked look, and penned hair in the back. Suspenders were the in style as well as cowboy boots for the guys. Styles for both genders were Guess clothes, Forenza, and Levi jackets. Style was anything but out at RHS this year, and many enjoyed being in ,
