Martha Stinnett, Therese Miller, Janet Hadlock, Jo Ella Tiger, Jeauneta Marks and Gene Hogan, song and yell leaders of 1956, exemplify the transformation in clothing styles. These, the pioneers, were not dismayed by the challenge of an untamed land. With eyes upon a star. they fought and they struggled . . . to achieve a dream-the dream of a land transformed. The earth is no longer barren but bountiful: the desert. no longer repulsive but enveloping. For man foiled long. but within him always was a sustaining hope. The challenge of the desert was met: a land was transformed. Man. with his eyes upon the star. lived each day an un- written saga. Each day brought a new challenge. Man, the builder. the dreamer, built and tore down and built up again. l-le was pitted against Nature. Much there was that succumbed to the arm of history.

One of the countless fads introduced by the fashion industry is this ensemble worn by Gail F ries. ,www

George W. McCouslond fproprietorl, Fronk L. Beckwith -- Al- though it's hordly the super supermarket we know today, this was modern shopping ci few yeors back. The type of building. the mode of trans- portation. the style ot clothing, the orroy ot sociol events - eoch endured its own time and crumbled into the entolding dust ot history. All ports of the lond - ot Nature - ore tron- sient: all ore slaves of time. And in time mon himself becomes its slove. l-le, too, fades from the fast revolving earth. Mon the dreomer, mon the builder, mon the shoper and molcer. he. too. is dismissed. For new events demand new faces. A new mon comes - with new icleos, new inventions. new dreams. Yes, even the toces change in the shodow ot time. The chonging pioneers met the challenges ot Nature.
