go Radicality starts new craze in students’dress, life The need to be different was a reason most students went radical in the way they dressed, talked and danced. Most wanted to find a new identity in which they could express themselves better through their radicality. 1 went radical to express myself in a totally original way, said sophomore Karla Gurson. Rebellion was a contributing factor in the way people dressed. Boys were commonly seen with a flat top haircut, rattails, earrings and bleach blond hair. Girls wore teased hairstyles and 1940's type clothing. Bright colors and un- matched clothing were a happy sight to sore eyes. “1 like to see the bright colors, it adds life to a regular dull day.” said sophomore Dee Geiger. These articles of clothing were bought in a variety of places from Good Will and second-hand stores to shops specializing in this type of fashion. I shop in Yvonne’s or Shady Lady on special occasions,” continued Karla. Dancing was also a form in which people expressed their feelings through music. Dances from breaking to just jumping up and down were commonly seen on the dance floor. Difficult moves in breaking were learned from friends or by just watching others perform. “I learned from stealing moves from people of the street,” said junior Steve Padilla. Uniqueness was the backbone of a new trend in fashion and in student life in general. ■Linda Villarreal loci Bonner shows her rad reality through her clothing and teased hair. Photo by R.
