THE ECONOMY went out of control in 1969 and we entered 1970 with living cost being almost 6% more than one year previously. Imports exceeded exports for the full calendar year for the first time in the 1900’s. This prompted President Nixon to impose a 10% surcharge on most imports. 1971 will bear the distinction as the year in which, for the first time during peace, the United States moved to price and wage controls. THE DRESS STYLES during the early 70’s were quite varied. Long hair was the vogue for both boys and girls. Some boys, who were capable, grew beards and mustaches. The girls wore skirts that varied from maxi, midi and mini length. Baggy, cuffed, and bell bottom pants were also in style at this time. The boys went from snug fitting pants to the baggy type. He wore turtle neck sweaters, and when he wanted to be a little more formal he would wear a jacket. He could wear the full range of color designs in any of his clothing. Some girls or boys who preferred the more casual or com¬ fortable look wore jeans and tennis shoes. Halter tops became the summer style for the girls. PRINCIPALS—As we entered school in September of 1973, we found waiting for us our new principal, Mrs. Doris Torrice. Mrs. Torrice took over the duties of principal from Mr. Floyd Worley. Mr. Worley is now on the committee for year-round school, with an office at Lake Braddock. Mrs. Torrice comes to us from Groveton High School, where she also served as principal.
