5, 1 lf' 'E' is BEAR FACTS VOL. 5, NO. 3 BOYERTOWN, PA. JUNE 3, 1943 Wartime Fashions Theme of Clothing Dept. Show c Transportation Troubles Hit Rural Girls' Participation By BETTY JANE FRY With a patriotic background as a setting, the clothing department, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret S. Lynch, presented its an- nual Fashion Show on May 14 at 7:30 in the high school auditorium. Wartime Fashions was an appropriate title for the show. It was divided into two parts. The iirst half was the Make and Mend for Victory program which has been previously presented to the student body March 5. In this half the girls modeled suits made from men's suits, old dresses which had been re- modeled and made to look like new, garments made from odds and ends of materials, and blouses made from men's shirts. The purpose of this program was to show how to conserve material and still be well-dressed. I New Fabrics Modeled During the second half of the Wartime Fashions Show, the girls modeled clothes made from new fabrics. They showed dresses made from many kinds of material, summer suits and skirts, and one evening gown. Many garments were not modeled because the girls who made them were rural students and were not able to attend due to trans- portation difficulties. Some of these girls made clothes for other members of their family, and still others devoted most of their time to sewing for the Red Cross. By pre- senting this half, the girls proved that making your own clothes is economical and is a direct blow against inflation. The girls pointed out that this year demandsclothes that are simple and practical. V Stage Setting Used The stage setting was plain. A large V for Victory was suspended in the center of the stage with flags of the United Nations beside it. The flags were also arranged in the form of a V. As the girls modeled their garments they, too, formed a V on the stage.
