1960’s Joy Ludwig models a sample of the fashions of today. 1980’s Fashions have always been reflected in student dress; whether it be the look of the 1920’s with the bobbed haircuts or the 1930’s with fur coats and stylish hats, students have always been seen imitating the latest fad. During the 1940's we can remember the pageboy haircut, spiked-shoes and heavy lipstick. With the next decade, the 1950’s, came a big surprise. While rocking around the clock to Chuck Berry and the soulful tones of Elvis; saddle shoes, bobby socks, poodle skirts and ponytails were the fashion. The 1960’s brought a whirlwind of change as The Beatles came to America. The crewcut was then replaced with longer hair styles, and as the hair grew longer, the skirts got shorter. We can still see today how students' dress change and reflect the latest fashions — showing a “decade of differences.”

Butler Revisited Through the Eyes of Mr. Hubner Continuing our exploration of our past, Nugget Staff reporters visited the home of Mr. Cornelius Hubner, a 1916 graduate of Butler High School and a long time community member. Mr. Anthony Hubner, originally from Vienna, came to New York City in 1888 and opened a studio to teach the zither and piano. Soon after, he discovered Butler, New Jersey. Butler was like the vacation paradise to Mr. Hubner. Today his son Cornelius still lives in this area. He explained how his father was very impressed with the many lakes for fishing, his favorite being Mud and Witteck Lakes now known as Glenwild Lake. Mr. Cornelius Hubner attended a Manhattan School in New York where he received an excellent elementary education. He did very well in his classes, and as a result was advanced a few grades. The Hubner family moved to Butler when Cornelius was 12. At this age, he started at BHS. The School then consisted of five classrooms and there were 22 graduates in his class of 1916. Cornelius explained a typical day at BHS starting with the morning announcements. All students would gather in one room where the orchestra played and students would sing along. Cornelius was one of the Mr. Hubner is interviewed by Nugget Reporters.
