Fads, fashions reflect trends Student attire at Boyertown varied from casual clothes to formal fashions. While the school had no strict dress code, students generally seemed more concerned about their ap- pearance. More girls were seen in dresses and pantsuits. Boys, who used to believe that the high school uniform was blue jeans and sneakers, were often seen wearing dress pants and leisure shirts. For school, girls followed the new styles by wearing gauchos, vests, and three-piece suits. High leather boots and all types of clogs were popular footwear. Several boys joined the trend by dressing in jumpsuits, bib overalls, and rocker shoes. Though students increased their wardrobes with the new styles, they still left room for the ever-popular jeans. Popular hairstyles included the wedge cut and the Tony Tenille look. Many more students - boys and girls - also tried permanents for a curlier look. Accessories included double- pierced ears -two small earrings worn in one ear. In purses, many girls chose big cloth or canvas styles that could be slung over a shoulder. Most of those bags were decorated with initials in bright fabrics. Thoughts of the senior prom and junior dinner dance switched at- tention to more formal attire. Cub sponsored its third annual fashion show on March 30. It was held in the dining room. Students modeled the latest spring fashions, ranging from jumpsuits to wedding gowns. Boys were given a preview of the new tuxedo looks. An additional feature was the modeling of dresses and casual wear. Fads and Fashions

Traditional Valentine dance restored, Student Council revives interest Student Council decided to restore tradition by reinstating the Valentine Court. The dance had been dropped for the past two years because of lack of student interest. Ballots listed the names of all seniors and were distributed to seniors during POD classes. The final count was taken by Student Council officers and their ad- viser, Mr. Stanley Madeja. The court was announced during school. The dance was held on February 12 in the dining room. Members of the court entered the dance through the side en- trance. Wendy Brumbach, Student Council president, announced the king, joel Reifsnyder, and queen, jenny Burd. Next, Sue Cox, Council vice-president, crowned the king and queen. The court posed for pictures and ended the for- malities with the court dance, during which the girls on the court danced with their escorts.
