He reflected that this graduation was a happy and triumphant evening, belonging to the graduates. Mr. Kimble advised the students to be careful and not step on a treadmill in life.

For the soft and sensuous look, Jeannine Swantko (opposite page, lower right) prefers one of the many styles of sweater dresses that highlighted this year’s fashions. Allen Horner (above center) showed this year ' s style by combining cowboy boots, dress pants, and a soft velour sweater with a shirt underneath for warmth. One reason for the enduring popularity of classic clothes is their foolproof good looks. Here, Tammy Johnstone (above right) shows us just that, as the plaid full skirt and sweater worn over a blouse show a new sense of inventiveness. The look is better than ever. Jeff Csonka (left) sets an example of one of the trends for guys this year: dress pants, plaid shirt, and hiking boots. Soft colorings, soft fabrics add a new appeal to the many different styles of skirts this season. One of those styles as Chris Toman (above left) shows, is a wool gored skirt eased with pleats and topped with the most feminine of sweaters, an angora wool. Fashion—17
