The seniors went all out on their “senior cords” in ’55. They spent a lot of time painting the clever drawings and sayings on them, and as you can see, the results were gratifying. One of the new things in footwear for the girls was knee-length stockings, ranging from pastels to bright colored argvles. NEW FADS-FASH 10NS HIT STUDENT BODY The three girls wearing the latest in knee socks are Judy McClenthen, Deanna Traylor and Dana Polomchak. Janet Mair, Jo Greiner and Judy Owen are shown wearing the long heads, one of the most popular fads of the year. Is it a box cut? A D.A.? A Don Eagle? Or a combination of all three? Shown below are Clair Knapp, Mike Hanlon and Jim Cooper with a few of the new hair cuts for the boys. Page nine We’re not going back to the gay 1920’s, it’s just the big thing in necklaces for ’55. Hardly a girl at Crown Point High was without a pair of the long beads or “ropes.” They were found in every con¬ ceivable color and made of everything from wood to glass. The boys, in ’55, became quite conscious of their haircuts. They introduced some new and different styles, the most popular of which were the crewcuts and D. A.’s. Some were more elaborate and brushed their hair into their own unusual styles. Opposite page—Standing around the bulletin board in their senior cords are Larry Haniford, AI Seramur. Barbara Petry, Ron Phillips, and Kay McAboy.
