Reflections Different era’s in time were represented by different fashions. Frontier days were represented by prairie skirts. The look of the thirties con- sisted of student’s with knickers and argyle socks. Students wore thin ties and sailor tops with an accent of the fourties. A flare from the “Fabulous Fifties’’ brought students to school with wool Skirts, sweaters, oxfords, penny loafers, and blazers. Mini-skirts highlighted the sixties. Also, the innovative fashions of the eighties brought to light the new wave look.

Fashion has a variation of changing throughout the years. What’s in this year may be out the next. For ex- ample, in the sixties, mini- Skirts were the latest style and now in the eighties its the latest style again. Clothing always seems to re- flect back on the older gen- eration. What our parents wore when they were young, we are wearing now. The ruffled shirts, leg warmers, pleated skirts, pointed toe shoes, baggy pants, and dou- ble breasted shirts are all remnants of the past. Overall, the fashions of the eighties brought out the style and timeless class which fashion shall always be. Fashion 11

Seeing The Sights School was a great way to learn things, but when it came to the world, sitting in a classroom just couldn't hack it. To learn about the world, you had to see the world. Last April, some students decided to do something about the dull class- room. As part of an American Insti- tute for Foreign Study trip, fourteen students with Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cleveland as chaperones traveled to Madrid and Paris. After a bus ride and flight, an eight hour layover was all that stood between them and Europe. While in Madrid they toured the Prado Museum, Royal Palace, the art city of Toledo, and the Valley of the Fallen. A highlight of their stay in Madrid was seeing a flamenco and the Procession, the equivalent of a Good Friday parade. After Madrid and a sixteen hour train ride, they arrived in Paris. Highlights of their stay here includ- ed trips to the Louvre, l’Arc de Triumphe, Versailles, Notre Dame, the Moulin Rouge, and to Mont- marte where some students had themselves sketched by cafe’ art- ists. Some rock and roll fans used their free time to visit the grave of Jim Morrison. Summer was also a great time to see the world when the world came to us. Many students went to the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennes- see, as part of their vacations. Though there were long lines, high temperatures, and poor parking fa- cilities, the trip was still enjoyable. All exhibits were interesting, but just about everyone liked China best. Included in this exhibit were the lapis lazule stones that had been read about in World Literature. At the World’s Fair, numerous bands enter- tained the crowds. Here, a New Orleans Jazz Band performs. In front of the 1889 World’s Fair symbol, Dave Campbell, Robbie Lavender, Phillip Drewery, and friends from other schools mar- vel at the Hiffel Tower. SSR MNES Though the lines were long, the China exhibit was worth the wait. One of the major attractions of the Chinese exhibit, blocks from the Great Wall of China, drew many fingerprints on its glass case. World Travel 13
