Yo-Yo Ties Up ’62Fads Plaids Lead Fashions Fashion-conscious Clarkites displayed the fads that followed through the year from “Beaver der¬ bies” to pantaloons. Sweaters ranging from bulky knits to plain cardi¬ gans for both boys and girls were popular during the school season. Bright colors, unusually blend¬ ed, added to the hours spent in and out of school. Traditionally pleated and straight skirts in bright solids and plaids were worn directly below the knees. For the males, subdued plaid and dark pegged pants were the school attire. Shoes for school had either pointed or squared toes. The newest fad came in colorful stripes for the females. Standard slacks and matching tops were the apparel for afterschool activities. For extremely casual dates, girls donned the local university and college sweatshirts. For more formal occasions, brocade and silken materials used in bouffant dresses with bell-shaped skirts were fashionable. Dark suits with ronlet shirts fitted out boys for any formal occasions. Sweaters are here to stay. The classical long-sleeved pullover is modeled by Junior Carolyn Sinder. Senior Tom Blazak sports one of the favorites this season, a long blazer striped cardigan. A hit this year is the unique bulky v-neck worn by Senior Fran Condo. Paula Grandbois, Marilyn Popovich, and Mary How¬ ard display their favorite colleges by their color¬ ful sweatshirts.
