Classy Lifestyles, Or Fads? Each year births new fads and styles. This year was no different. One of the most popular things was the “midas touch,” this is where the guys shave parts of their hair off. Many girls had gold shoes, purses, and other accessories. Silver was also a favorite with the females. The sparkle of rinestones on overalls, jeans, blouses, socks, and belts could also be seen in the halls of REL. One of the fad followers, junior Genetle Fishesser, says, “I like these styles because they’re different and brighten up the room.” Patricia Rin- con stated, I like things that shine and are noticeable.” Gold shoes are cute and were bought for one of my outfits,” commented Sandy Gon- zales, sophmore. However, some people do not care for the gold shoes. Maria Resendez said, ”1 don’t K«ll«y Hawk arv J Ginger Ho» » test while wearing th style. denimen jacket and ankle bool like them because everyone else is wearing them. Not only did the clothes and accessories bring out the new ways and fashions, but the hair- cuts changed with the trend also. For the varsity squad line-up, it was a new way of celebrating a winning year. As for the rest of the student body, it was a way of getting atten- tion. Mark Munoz said, I cut my hair this way because I wanted to be dif- ferent, but then it became so com- mon. “It’s cool and I wanted to be rebellious,” said Steven Guidry. Joe Guzman said, I like it. and wanted to get one, but just never got around to it.” And for junior, Chris Cryer, “1 did it because I'm a hard core.” There was a big upset at the begin- ning of school with all of these new fads, especially with the new hair- cuts. Many students who were asked Jason Chappel viy» My future it o bright.

Therefore 1 think that extremes in dress and appear ance that may lead to disruption and or distraction should be discour aged,” stated Mr. Earl Lankford.
