FASHIONS An intimate part of our daily lives, and are which influences our very existence. Style plays an important role in a stu- dent's life. Peers judge his taste, status, and generally base their opinions about a person's character on the mode of living represented by his clothes. The decade of the 70's came alive with mini-skirts, T-shirts, hot pants, and boots. Girls could not wait to get out of mom's sight to raise up the length of the dress a little, or roll the top of a skirt. ' 'Bare'' was definately ' 'in''. Boys' t- shirts and tank-tops revealed what they considered a ' 'Muscular torso.'' Toward the mid-seventies, designers captured an idea which would make for them millions in hard cash. The Earth shoes. Designed for comfort and wearability, this incredibliy simple shoe brought about an amazing change in footwear, and everyone wanted to be a part in this ' 'foot healthly'' revolution. The late seventies saw a drastic change in womens' dresses. Whereas before the skirt length had been mid-thigh, it now dropped to mid-calf. The new longer look emphasized slimness in the legs, and ruffles accentuated the total woman. Perhaps there is one article of clothing, though, that has not changed, nor will ever really be. It's comfort and versitility have made it the number one choice of all American's students. And no matter how the designer embroiders, cuffs, trims, or flairs it, it still remains the same. We've made it our favorite, and so will it our fa - vorite, and so will it always be......... The Blue Jeans. 11
