Setting the Scene in Fashions Dressy jeans are to be found here and there while painter pants and overalls threaten to outdo those ever popular levis. Girls lengthen their minis in favour of the knee length look and often match them with boots — a common sight during the long winter. Hooded jackets were an- other winter favorite. Indeed, the fashion scene this year is one of inter- est and diversity. ABOVE: These five are just a few of the hun- dreds of students who laughingly agree that levis will never lose their popularity. LEFT: Hooded jackets and sweaters were a great favorite for Barons throughout the school year.

National Events Affect Students Although the main celebrations were held in July, the bi-cenntenial spirit was still very much in evidence when the Barons returned to school in August. That spirit carried on into 17 as the United States and many other countries waited with baited breath to see who the 39th President would be. By a narrow margin Jimmy Carter was elected and within days of his inauguration severe problems were thrust upon him enabling him to show his worth. Our country was ex- periencing its worst winter ever — crops were destroyed, schools and bu- sinesses closed down resulting in thousands unemployed. Quick pre- cise decisions had to be made to avoid these and other problems. A main consideration was to conserve our en- ergy resources which were draining fast. Carter along with pu blic help pulled us through, returning most things back to normal. RIGHT: Until they were moved, huge snow piles prevented any parking behind the school during the memorable winter of ’77. Patty Brown and Becky Sparling take time out from their paging responsibilities to pose with Representative Norman Gerig.
