CASUAL IS IN Clothes, hair, and every facet of fashion reflected the changing moods of the individual. Crown Point school-goers selected costumes from both extremes of the wardrobe. Both male and female were attired in grubby jeans, flannel shirts, cuffed slacks, bright plaids, tailored blazers, and clunky thick-heeled shoes. The guys wore blue jean jackets and T- shirts while the girls were garbed in multicolored shrinks, smocks, hal¬ ters, and every sort of shoe that gave them that just-stepped-out- of -Seventeen look. The little things seemed to accentuate the overall effect of the outfit. Focus on accessories brought more inventively designed jewelry onto the scene. Flowers, fruit, and little creatures popped up everywhere on purses, watches, and belts. Hair went Afro-frizzy, semi- curly, and straight at all lengths. Shags, gypsies and other wash and wear styles were great for the girl who wanted to be ready for anything. The guys’ hair styles seemed to stay the same, only per¬ haps a little shorter. Of course, there was the conservative major¬ ity who stuck with basic casual dresses and skirts, and assorted sport shirts and dress levis. No matter what, CPHS students were ready for anything, anytime as their clothing and hairstyles reflected. TOP—Denim jacket and T-shirt, as worn by Henry Wheeler as he confers with Roger Hone, was a favorite because of the freedom of movement. ABOVE—Tim Harris and Gene Riddick sport flannel shirts and jeans as a pleasant divergence from more formal attire. LEFT—Maria Dearing liked the frizzy Afro style for a lib¬ erated look. 17
