Scraps For Our Book FASHION IS JUST A MATTER OF HINDSIGHT Look forward to the fashions of the ' 80 ' s by looking back to the ' 50 ' s, the ' 40s. even the ' 20 ' s. This year, the school boy look is in — you know, the sort of clothes your father walked three miles in the snow to school with a hot potato in his hand to keep him warm with — its knickers, bermudas, tweeds, wools, vests, ties, argyle socks, loafers, and of course the paper boy hat (a must!) Towards the other end of the spectrum is the more feminine look: soft, pastel, expensive sweaters like your mom kept away in the attic and ruffled bucanneer blouses and flowing skirts. As always, the outdoorsy look is still chic with the ski vests, cowl necks, and boots — why do we dress as if we ' re going to climb Pikes Peak and yet we are only going to Tech! In formal wear, ladies dresses are created from silks, quianas, taffetas, and sashes with princess sleeves and empire wastes. Remember those little patent leathers you despised so much in first grade? Well, now they are very in, especially with a bow on the tip. ASC students will ALWAYS opt for the basic study — get up late — no clean clothes outfits of sweatshirts, T-shirts, and sweatpants. Looking back, Scotties can honestly say, I need to lose weight. Mow that ' s practical hindsight!! A tW (jfSt -ttm Ksuu k P vip: Jwo-ufl imA, maaA I Ukkk icrVK. Sfo ty Ul IjtdtUdtuf? 22

YOU ' VE COME A LONG WAY, SCOTTIE 1918 ASC campus life reflected the national climate during W.W. I, The campus war committee gave students jobs knitting sweaters for soldiers and nearly all the students joined the Patriotic League. The Silhouette took as its theme, A.S.C. Training Camp. We Scotties take for granted the nights in which we come home at 2 or 3 from Tech or Emory, the late night runs we make to Neighbors or Krispy Kreme, and yes, all-nighters spent with friends and popcorn around to keep us awake. These experiences are part of the life of many Scotties, but 93 years ago, an ASC student ' s life was very different. 1898 Agnes Scott Institute was nine years old, and had far fewer students — one token senior. Students emphasized domestic skills far more than they do today; Cooking Club, Embroidery Class, and the Hemstitching Club attracted many members. Students also found time for the Spooners Club, and lazier students organized two clubs, the Late Risers and the Worshipers of Morpheus. 24
