tHigh' spirited Homecoming was not a time for CHS alumni to Hcome home any more, but the traditional festivity still took place. The week of activities was altered from a Ucoming homen to a celebration and a showing of school pride. Several of the events which usually took place during the week such as the Best Male Legs Contest, the Mum sale and the walk through town were not conducted. Many other events, however, did take place. The week was started off with hat and glasses day which had much participation. Tuesday was for twins, and some students dressed similarly to a partner. On Wednesday, girls wore Hush Buttons and were not allowed to speak to boys or they would lose their button to them. J. B. Mayhew managed to capture the most buttons by causing 30 girls to talk to him. Beach Day brought shorts, sandals and Hawaiian shirts. Friday was set aside for students to wear the blue and gold school colors. Also on Friday, the halls were decorated with streamers and TAKING A BREAK from dancing, Debbie Adams watches people move to the music while others enjoy conversa- tion. 22 xStudent Life posters.

v Anything goes Changes in clothing styles have always been more visible among students than in most other groups of people. This year, however, there was no big fad like the miniskirts and bellbot- toms of the 60s and 70's. It was more a combination of trends from the past, sort of an ttanything goes? There were certain obvious styles though, such as the basic, sporty, comfortable look. To achieve this, one wore a rugby or Ocean Pacific shirt, a pair of checkered Vans or Tretorn tennis shoes, and a pair of faded jeans or sweats. One could also fashion hiswher dress after the Ivy League colleges such as Yale and Harvard, to be considered a ttprep? Preps were easy to recognize. They wore either an oxford or Polo Shirt, and a pair of penny Loafers or dockside shoes. 24dStudent Life WEARING A BLAZER and suede ankle boots, Sheila Merritt listens to Jon Tate and Missy Michael before second period. . :5 Although it wasntt taken to extremes, going punk was also a thing to do. A simple spiked haircut, a torn sweatshirt, or a leather jacket was part of the basic punkerts wardrobe. Many girls were like still into the Valley Girl look. They displayed miniskirts, colored hose, and flat shoes. Other common modes of dress for males included wearing parachute pants, denim jackets, and earrings in one ear. Students usually accepted just about any style one chose to wear. The most popular thing to do was to combine the fads together and come up with an individual look. IN AN ARGYLE SWEATER.
