New Choices Abound here are two aspects of summer that everyone re- members, fashion and mu- sic. In the past everyone ba- sically wore the same fashions and enjoyed the same music. However, now there are so many different choices in fashion and music that it would be almost impossible to list them all. Most all of the styles you saw this summer in the local town of Chester originated at the beach. Some peo- ple totally went ‘“‘beach crazy” with their jams, long t-shirts, tank tops, and high tops. Lots of bracelets, beads, long earrings, and anklets were worn with any of the styles. There are those people who like to wear neon clothing and then there are those who wear whatever is comfortable to them. Of course, there are the punkers and new wave groups who like the triple pierced ears and shaved and colored hair. But then there are the mellow groups who feel more comfortable with styles that are basic cut-off shirts and jeans. The world will always be surround- ed by many different types of music from punk rock to heavy metal. Most people enjoyed a variety of musical hits over the summer. On the other hand, some people enjoy only one type of music. Such groups as Tears For Fears, Wham, and Daryl Hall and John Oates were widely listened to. When the subject of music comes up over the summer Live Aid comes to mind. Groups and musicians gath- ered together to raise money for the starving in Africa. Such a wide vari- ety of music exists making it easy for everyone to find just the right mu- sic for them. Delivering a letter to the office, Christine Wo- mack is startled to hear a loud crash coming from down the hall. Groups such as Wham!, Tears for Fears, and ’til Tuesday have been very popular with the students of Thomas Dale. 6 Fashion Music
