traditional senior cords Throughout a school year many unusual and unique fads are always formed and 1961- 62 was no exception. Girls led the fashion parade with high hemlines and pointed shoes. Small bows of all colors adorned a variety of bouffant hairstyles. Many girls also appeared in long-waisted, frilly blouses, topped off with sautoires. Boys ' fads included the ever-pop- ular bulky knit sweaters and identification bracelets. In the spring the newest fad was the interne blouse, inspired by a television program. Steady couples continued the fad of steady shirts and the exchange of class rings, which they bought as sophomores. Girls decorated their steady rings with angora or tape. As in previous years the halls were filled with upperclassmen proudly wearing their class sweaters. Every Friday seniors displayed their cords, a tradition for all graduating classes. Along with the newest fashions, new dance steps, the pony and the twist, swept the country. Seniors Barbara Everett and Jack Pause proudly display their traditional “senior cords.”
