 2-Optmnj Shades Almost nothing can influ- ence us more than our environ- ment, and few features affect us more than the colors that surround us. They are great for setting moods. We always react to them. Bright colors make us squint or bug out”. Dull, muted colors calm us down. Different shades can even make us smile. Colors have often been used as symbols. In fact the color of our clothing tells something about us. Those who wear the Jams styles are obviously very liberal. Pastel and neutral colo- red outfits provide a certain dis- tinguished and intelligent air to their wearers. Black leather tends to intimidate, which is what some guys at least try to do. Conversely, brown leather combined with khaki gives a rugged, adventurous look. Before we learned to realize their importance and to appre- ciate colors as a means of en- OF BLUE hancing our own individuality, we loved them all. That's why there were always dumb little rainbows tacked up in our el- ementary school classes; that's why we always had to use every crayon in the Crayola 48 pack when drawing a picture of our house; that's why we enjoyed eating Lucky Charms and Froot Loops. Some of us still do. Both then and now, what color would most people say was and is their favorite? BLUE! Even if it's not everybody's favorite, it's universally liked.

Who ever said Frank Sinatra or Paul Newman had weird- looking eyes? r Above: This sure is different. Keith Luce is sporting a field hockey skin! W1B his antics never end? Right: At times, you just gotta hang out Wher. is a better time and where is a better place than this?
