From Kitty Hawk to the well-known Sputnik, from the Big Apple to the controversial Bop, from Rudolph Valentino to Elvis Presley, from bustles to shapeless sack dresses, from taffy pulls to pizza parties, from Model T’s to Thunderbirds, from buckskin pants to Ivy League slacks, from the old to the new goes the changing of time and fashion. What type of clothing will the suh-freshmen be wearing when they are nearing graduation? Stiff petticoats, pointed-toed shoes, flat-top haircuts, dirty saddle shoes, and car coats, as well as Bermuda shorts and socks, have been welcomed bv all. Every day the fashion columns are crowded with new ideas in wearing apparel for men and women. Maybe they will look back and laugh at those crazy crew-neck sweaters and pleated skirts worn by the seniors of ’58. Hand-in-hand with fashion goes the changing of time. It is hard for one to look into the future and foresee the destiny of the human race. Perhaps a teen-age boy of a future generation will ask his father for the keys to the family rocket; possibly there will be no more sons and daughters after the next testing of the I I-bomb. To the world of fashions and the changing of time, whatever they may hold for us in the years ahead, we respectfully dedicate this 1958 Eastonian.
