English mod look leads teen f ashion scene Highlighting the fashion scene, the English mod look emphasized military style in corduroy. High boots re- turned with additions of ties, zippers and buckles. Pais- ley shirts paved the way for paisley slacks for boys and girls. Hipsters and mini dresses and skirts gained acceptance with both teens and adults. Some girls wore long tresses. Others sported short boyish hair styles. Collegiate look remained popular. Wingtips, loafers and saddle shoes added to the total look. Boys’ coor- dinates gained popularity as did girls’ coordinates. Lit- tle girl look included pigtails and poorboys. Camel, blue, green and burgandy colored the scene as flowers, stripes and polka dots accented it. Tents dominated dress styles. Making the teen scene were the Monkees’ records and TV program. Teens danced the duck and boog-a-loo. “Hanky-panky,” “I’m a Believer” and “Snoopy and the Red Baron” led record sales. Season re-emphasized local musical talent.

Stories of pranks, elections, war captivate History’s sweep caught HHS students and left them with mem- ories of everything from doorknobs and alarm clocks to Viet Nam. In September teachers reported to school one Monday and found knobless doors. Faculty and cus- todian sleuths discovered the more than 100 knobs in the girls’ pool and in a cold air chute. Shortly thereafter a prankster plot resulted in a surprise locker inspection by teachers seeking alarm clocks set for 10 a.m. Nature provided the deepest im- pression, though, when an end-of- January storm dumped about 30 inches of snow on the area. It stranded millions and brought ur- ban activity to a standstill. Ham- mond schools closed six days. Sportsmen noted a Purdue win in the Rose Bowl, Baltimore Orioles’ ccnquest of the World Series, NFL’s Green Bay Parckers’ victory over AFL’s Kansas City Chiefs in pro football’s first superbowl. Evansville North won the Indi- ana high school basketball champ- ionship. UCLA won the national college championship with help from 7 ' ls Lew Alcindor. Movie-goers hailed “A Man for All Seasons” as the Academy Award’s designation as best movie. Its star, Paul Scofield, won an Oscar for best actor. Elizabeth Taylor won actress honors for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” At times it seemed as if Presi- dent Johnson was playing “Who’s Afraid of Bobby Kennedy?” as polls showed the New York senator outdrawing LBJ in popularity. Author William Manchester had Hammond s normally flat terrain sprouts mountains as snow snarls streets, stops schools. 10
