Passion For Fashion If you questioned any high school student, and asked them what is in style the typical answer would be like Adam Schaffer’s: “There is no set style. Some people choose to express themselves by what they wear, and others just grab whatever is closest to them.’’ Although there is no set style, one would not be caught dead in a pair of dungaree bell bottoms matched with a polka dot shirt. The student whose first priority is not what he she looks like is usually bedecked in comfortable clothing. Hugh Feuer prefers rugby shirts and sweatpants, while David Ratner opts for a worn-out Champion sweat- shirt and a pair of Levi’s. Thomas Egli, an exchange student from Switzerland, notes that “The styles here are so much different from the styles in Switzerland. In Switzerland, the people wear their clothes until they’re dirty. This could mean three or four days. Here, people change their clothes every day. It was so hard to adjust to at first.’’ The “flower child’’ has re-bloomed. Tie dye flooded the halls, whether it be jeans, tee-shirts, bags, or anything else the mind could think up. Along with this burst of col- or, came string bracelets. They are made by knotting in an orderly fashion. It became a silent competition to see who could have the most bracelets on his or her wrists. Catherine Hart reported seeing at least 12 on Katy Oitzinger. Believe it or not, certain foods were “in” this year. Ken Rothenberg’s favorite sushi meal is a California roll. This is a combina- tion of crab, rice, seaweed, and avocado. Health food bars also filled many stomachs. It was not only tofutti or yogurt; many students preferred gourmet salads, accom- panied by bran muffin. Since the general at- titude of most Schreiber students is to be fit and healthy, chances are that these foods will not only be a trend, but will become part of everyday eating habits. Years from now, we’ll look back and remember those hair styles that seemed so normal in 1987. We will also chuckle at to- day’s clothing styles that will seem ridiculous in 20 years. Women in their for- ties now could never have imagined wearing jeans to school. Although we find their at- titudes bizarre, our children might think it weird that we don’t fully accept their wear- ing bathing suits to school! Values, styles, and attitudes yield to that uncontrollable variable called time. Opening 11
