As Styles Change, Noticeable Fashions Strike CHS iiMost students are choosing to dress up more often? commented a teacher. Possible reasons may be the less casual fashion trend or perhaps the pressure. Since everyone likes to be noticed, each added his own little touch to make the outfit complete. Stick pins and double-pierced ears were popular accents. Although it became the trend to dress up, almost anything was still ac- cepted. Styles worn by students at or away from school ranged from casual to formal. Straight-leg jeans were worn by both sexes, along with colorful T-shirts, gym shorts, and thong san- dels. For the girls, colors ranged from soft pastels to shades of brown and black. Knickers, gauchos, and jumpers could all be accented by cowl neck sweaters and boots. For spring fash- ion wrap-around shirts, peasant tops, and sandels were worn for the cool but dresscd-up look. The guys dressed more casually than the girls, but occasional formal- wear included denim outfits, three- piece suits, sweaters, and leisure suits. So, as fashion would have it, whet- her going to a ball game or stepping out on the town, CHS students kept up with the changing scene. 1 CURT WADKINS wears the dressier look in fashion. 2 READY FOR ACTION is David Broughton in the popular look of sweats. 3 DAWN MARBLE sets a new style by wearing a long dress over pants.
