Fashions — an individual choice The more things change the more they stay the same Keeping up with the ever changing trends in fashion became a full-time job for some students. Establishing ones own look was interest- ing, fun, and especially ex- hausting for the clothing budget. The most stable part of a student’s wardrobe was a selection of various styles of blue jeans. However, even these underwent alter- ations. Holes torn in the knees or legs were a must for some. Of course, a ward- robe was not complete with- out at least one frosted item. Boots also make a come- back 60’s style. Go-go boots were again the rage. From white with fringe and beads to black with metal buckles, there was a style to fit every event and lifestyle. Individual taste entered into all aspects of fashion se- lections. Hairstyles went from the boy or girl next door to wild and funky. Mousse and gel manufac- tures made a fortune no matter what the style. Mrs. Terri Turchi summed it up with the statement, ‘‘The fashions for last year were great because they al- lowed people to be them- selves.” Personal prefer- ence was the single most important factor in deciding how to dress. JEANS of any sort were a necessity to some wardrobes, the older and frayed, the better. Rob Katzmarek shows the simple way of wear- ing them. BUSY at work, Lori Crossley stays with old styles but keeps up with new ones. Boots were a major factor that could be worn comfortably or dressy. FASHIONS 15 .

When over it’s time to play Hobbies provide outlets for the much needed free hours Seven hours in school was less than 1 3 of each day. How to spend the other 2 3's was never a problem; solutions ranged from just hanging out to career orient- ed hobbies. Webster defines hobbies as activities one engages in for relaxation. SV students interpreted that definition in many different ways. Music inspired students to form groups which per- formed for personal enjoy- ment as well as for profes- sional gains. Garages were easily converted into studios once the school day ended. Hobbies weren’t solely lei- sure time activities. For those with a 4-H involve- ment hobbies sometimes meant added responsibil- ities. Raising and showing animals were not uncom- mon. Junior, Brent Frazier said, “My horse, Rocket, is very important to me. I wouldn’t want to do anything else. Just-for-fun activities were the highest priority. Bike riding, cruising, and shopping were just a few ways to unwind from a full day of classes. Having something to do to break the monotony of each day was a necessity for most students. Whether it was an educational or a leisure ac- tivity, it was not important. How the time was spent was of the essence. CENTRAL Elementary after hours is not as emp- ty as believed. Freestylers Mike Lowry and lack Stefani christen Central as their meeting place. ROCKET and rider. Brent Frazier, take an after- noon ride. Brent has to fit the responsibility of caring for his horse into a busy work, school and extra-curricular schedule. HOBBIES 17
