Fashion Trends Were Seen at CPHS in 1977 Survival! Today’s look for men is one of the rugged outdoors. A fashion conscious man avoids dacrons, polyesters and cordells and is now living in a world of denims, cottons, and corduroys. Sur- prisingly enough, this is the look por¬ trayed by many of the young men at Crown Point High School. CPHS men may have not changed with the quotas set down by todays Junior Shirley Burney, (right) is visiting the office clad in cowl neck, sweater, and painters pants. Sophomore Wendy Kernagis, (left) has on a denim vest and gaucho ensemble along with turtle neck and flannel shirt. Fashion in footwear for both men and women (below) included a pair of leather boots. r

leading fashion designers, it is more that the whims of today’s designers have come around to the look endeared by Crown Point High School students for nearly eight years: blue jeans. Even though blue jeans may make up ninety per cent of the wardrobe of a typical male student at Crown Point, the trend for females negates that of the male. For the most part, girls at CPHS concur with the ideals in fashion that leading women of the day inspire. There are still girls who insist on jeans and flannel, but it’s the chic woman who is seen at all the dances. Some of the more recent styles include cowl neck sweaters, high leather boots, and gauchos. The cowl neck sweater, a variation of the turtle neck, has a much bulkier and wider collar than that of its count¬ erpart. High boots, popularized in the mid-sixties by go-go dancers and the vinyl industry, have made their way back into the world of hautecouture, but only after being toned down con¬ siderably. Now the boots are made from high grade suede or leather and come in zip-up, pull-on, or lace-up styles. These boots coupled with knee length cullotte replications called gauchos, form what some people may consider a look of true class.
