Fads and old Fash ion! Just think if the girls at East High would have had to wear veils and dresses that completely covered their bodies and boys had to wear long sleeves all the time, as in Iran. Wouldn't that be different? Two new students came from Iran where the dress codes were as strict as those above. But other students came from Sweden and Denmark where they said that their fashions were even more stylish than those here in the United States. Here at East it was a mix of anything and everything you could imagine, with the exception of maybe pink hair. But just wait, there were Levi 501's, cropped, baggy, zippered and dyed jeans, leopard skin dresses, black pants, jean jackets and jean skirts, polo shirts and silk sweaters. A person never knew what to expect, from anyone. Every day was a dif- ferent look. Hair styles were as varied as the clothes. We saw bobs, layered looks, long straight hair, short cropped with tails and even a few with one side of their head shaved really short. In Europe the hair cuts were all short for those who kept up with the latest trends. Fortunately we didn't have as strict a code here as at some of the other high schools, where if you were not in the latest styles you were rejected by the IN crowd.

Celebrated H 0 I id aysl We in America have many holidays, but we seldom give them much thought. The arrival of many foreign exchange and other students from foreign lands caused us to look at many of our traditional holidays from a new perspective. People in other countries celebrate a holiday something like our Hallo- ween. ln Iran they jump over a fire and knock on doors for food and candies. In Sweden they have something like our Halloween during Easter. Small children knock on doors and say, Happy Easter, and they are given candies. The children wear scarves and aprons and paint their cheeks red with freckles across the bridge of their noses. A holiday in Germany called Fasching is somewhat like our Halloween in that it is supposed to frighten ghosts away. In Denmark they have Fastaloun in the spring when the children also knock on doors and sing a song like our phrase Trick-or-treat. Some of our other holidays also share similarities with those of other countries. In Spain, Christmas is celebrated from Dec. 24 through Jan. 7. And on other occasions they stay with their relatives and sing, dance, listen to music and eat dinner, much like our Thanksgiving. Many countries have holidays of their own. ln Iran they celebrate their Prophet's birthday. ln Sweden they have Lucia on Dec. 13. Little girls wear white dresses with red ribbons tied around their waists and lights on their heads. Teenagers also celebrate by having parties at night. They celebrate Quito's Party on Dec. 6 in Equador. Quito is their capital. Even though the many students from foreign countries spending a year or more at East had never before celebrated most of our holidays, they were sure to enjoy the new perspec- tive.
