Typifying the popular, long, straight-hair look, senior Donna Rohr- man and sophomore Linda Steen pause for a moment between classes to run a comb through their shining tresses. I Students set pace in latest fashion crazes through penny loafers and bench warmers Junior F.die Jaynes models her matching sweater and stockings which make up the fashion-right ‘‘total look.” From conservative bench warm- er coats to penny loafers to plaid legs, style-conscious Highland High students adopted the unique fashions and fads of ’66. Guys and girls were seen in the halls, in classes, and at sports activities setting the pace in the latest fashion craze. Perhaps a bit shocking at first, textured hose and crazy-patterned stockings soon became a common sight. A glance at the legs around school re- vealed polka dots, lacy mesh, abstract designs, and undefinable patterns. Also in vogue, argyle knee socks took their place in the up-to-date wardrobe. Featuring matching stockings and sweaters and carefully coordinated accessories, the “total look” created a stir with the girls. With every detail combined to create a striking ensemble appearance, the popular new idea be- came the “in” look for school and cas- ual wear. Hairstyles varied from the short gamin-type hairdo to the more imitated long, straight, free-swinging locks. Girls with naturally curly hair envied the fortunate straight-haired girls who could easily adopt the desired uncurly look. Accenting the fashion picture, symbolic charm bracelets jangled from the wrists of almost every sophomore, junior, and senior girl. Pendant watches created jewelry interest, as did increas- ingly popular pierced earrings. Shoe trends were dominated by versatile loafers. Penny slit and moc- casin type loafers were worn by guys and girls alike. Girls favored matching shoulder bags in which to tote their various vital necessities. All descriptions of sweaters were worn by fashion-conscious students. Ribbed poor boy sweaters, big, bulky ski sweaters, delicately embroidered im- ported sweaters, and sleeveless shells were just a few of the varied styles to be observed. Boys also kept alert on the fash- ion scene. The well-dressed guy could be seen attired in casual sweaters, cor- duroy pants, and loafers. Cuffs and belts returned to slacks. Shirts in pais- ley prints and madras were also in- cluded in stylish male wardrobes. Alert Highland High students displayed a keen interest in the ever- changing current styles and fads as they easily and confidently kept in step with the ’66 fashion picture. 12 Opening Section

Polka dots, diamonds, paisley swirls, lacy patterns, and abstract designs could be seen cover- ing stylish legs all over school. Zany stockings pr evailed and the plain, natural leg became a rare sight as girls sported wild patterns to keep in step with the latest rage. Leaving for home after a routine day of classes, Cheri Murphy and Frank Katona admire each others’ bench warmer coats. Shoe styles turned toward the casual and comfortable as penny loafers began to ap- pear on the fashion scene. Highland girls keep in step with the ’66 fashion scene as they rely on roomy shoulder bags to stylishly tote their many belongings and accent the well-dressed look of the day. Discussing current fashion trends, junior Frida Nelson and senior Dale Dudzik serve as typical examples of well-dressed Highland High students in their stylish sweaters.
