What do you want for Christmas? asks Santa Claus imposter Terry Townsend, as he talks to Parkside Elementary youngsters. Cared enough to GIVE GIVE — that four-letter word that is not dirty. Students have GIVEN in several ways during the year ranging from contributions of time and money to lifesaving and sustaining blood. The Publications Department, through a Christmas Wish fund drive, GAVE happiness to a needy family with presents and a complete stock of Christmas food. Appreciation and concern are also gifts that were part of the GIVING by students. Candy-stripers, junior-assistant nurses, numbering approximately 25, fit this category with their aid and help to hospital patients in many special and unique ways. Several seniors contributed in a different way, aiding the continuance of the American form of democracy by voting for their first time in the county elections. Other gifts including riding bikes for the Mental Health drive and door-to-door canvassing for the United Way were also a part of the GIVING by students. It seems that whatever the gift, to whomever it is given, the motive and central theme behind most the GIVING is coincidentally also a clean four-letter word — LOVE. The summer ended In competition for Mary Daniel, as she participated In the Montpeller Jamboree queen contest. Her sponsor was Am- vets. Spending the afternoon taking steps toward the prevention of birth defects, students hike 20 miles In the charity walk-a-thon. 18 Contributing

What are the best-dressed feet wearing? Gaucho boots? 4-inch high heels? Clogs? Tennis shoes? Earth shoes? YES! Fashion IS the fad stepping out in style tinis year was easy, for it was a year of almost anything goes. To have a fashionable closet a girl would have old jeans to a three-piece suit; a lacy peasant dress to gauchos and cowboy boots. The length of dresses was also variable from right above the knee to the ankle. The new way to top off jeans was with a satin peasant blouse. Going up? You will be if you wear this year ' s style of shoes. Skinny and high heels were back with the higher the better, some of the more fashionable being four to five inches. Not for the safety minded or ungraceful, but just for the adventuress. Another nostalic fad new for this year was the appearance of stick pins on cowl neck sweathers or the collar of a shirt. Now that you ' re all dressed in the latest fashion, where do you go? Tired of John ' s, the Homestead, and the Pizza King? The new spot to go for boogie dancing and pizza was the Lighthouse. If the time to go was in the day, this year ' s new mode of tansportation, the mopeda motorized bicycle, would get you there. Get you there or to this year ' s top movie. Star Wars, of the second top hit, Smokey and the Bandit. Fashions and fads are said to go in trends. This year ' s trend is backwards. Backwards to a more natural time in clothes, transportation, and feelings. Reaching out for their dance tickets in this year ' s latest fashions are Amy Hoover, Lisa West, Mary Daniel and Lynn Lefevre. 20 Fashions Fads
