8 SENTINEL January 31, 1966 Qizls, Bowls Review Teen-ftge IOAizl o6 ?mhion Girls often look to fashion magazines and to the boys, for opinions on how they should look. For those who care, the Fashion Spy is here to inform you on the latest in's and out's in fashions. The granny dress, which originated in California and swept across the nation is quietly taking le ave of the teen fashion world. Cranberry and madras have lost their no velty, but still remain on the scene. Teen fashion designers have tos- sed away many old designs and have begun producing more vivid, gay styles for this spring; What's headed for the top in girls' clothes ?e- the feminine look. Andwhat is more girlish than pastel colors and flow- ers-lots of them! The posey print , a dark colored material, sprinkled gener- ously with pa stel colored flowers, or vice-versa, is being made into skirts, blouses, dresses and casual suits. The lively brightness of the print is mostly due to the color combinations of pink and g r e en , red and yellow, peach and brown and green and blue. by HM 'pmhiniiis PX Ruffle s, tucks and lace will add the feminine tou c h to dresses and blouses colored in w a t e r p a s t e l s of cream white, yellow, pink, and blue. Replac- ing madras in popularity, should be the pastelplaids which will be seen in coats , skirts, and even hats. Two variations of a color to really watch out for , says a leading fashion magazine, are black plum and violet. These should be seen not only in basic clothing but also in various accessories, such as scarves, gloves, beads, brace- lets and pins. The p i er c ed ear look is still going strong and promises to continue. Hair-dos are not to be left out of the fashion arena. The verystraight, ironed hair look is being changed by just a whis- per of curl, while bangs are being short- ened so as not to hide, but to reveal the feminine look. The Sassoon , which is the shortest hair cutseenin a long time, is different, but only the modified version of it seems to be catching on in popularity. The high rattedlook is completely out, except for formal occasions, when itis used to perk up highfashion or french curl up-sweeps. Redeemer girls have adopted and alter- ed to their own tastes, many of fashion world's c r e at i o n 5. Those who notice most, what the girls are wearing and how they look--the boys and teachers, were questionedonwhat they liked and disliked about the way HR girls looked. An unofficial fashion panel of Redeemer boys, both uppe r and lower classmen, who wish to remain anonymous, expres- sed the following opinions: Skirts that come two and three inches above the knee are nice--if you're playing tennis ; Thosewhite 'go-go boots' were out of it before they were really in ; I like the girls in simple styles and soft colors. All the girls look good in a neat sweat- er and stretchslack outfit, for games and skiing ; Those m at c h i ng s o c k s and sweaters are nice, but you tend to lose sight of the girlwearing them and finally Bell-bottoms are okay, if you're in the Navy. Not only were the boys experts on clothes but they seemed to know quite a bit about hair-dos too. One panelist said Boy, that 'Sassoon' cut puts teens in a ridiculous s i t uatio n . You hear about some guys who want to grow their hair downto their shoulders, and the girls are getting theirs cut above their ears! Another insisted, The nicest is the aver age length with a little bit of curl either over or under. I like those, I think you call 'em head bands too. Blushing slightly, one boy admitted, Most girls have nice eyes, but you can't really tell when their bangs come half-way down their noses. Ateacher added to the opinions, Most of our girls' hair styles are pretty nice, but some are rather extreme for school. Another teacher said Some girls comb their hair so that about the only thing you can see of their face is the nose. Rather difficult under this situation, to take at- tendance. l ' I II I hit at liiulllwml IHH .,-J M! O'llA'Ul' Regardless of the opinions of others, girls will be girls, and will dress and comb the w ay they see fit. At HR, the neat, wholesome look is admired, and as for the most popular look in school clothes, one senior girl says that Def- initly, the brown pleated skirts, white blouses and brown cardigans are really 'in'.

2 SENTINEL December .23, 1965 Have WE the Ability? What problems do teen-agers face, that may hinder their homemaking abilities in the future ? This questionwas presented in the es- say section of the Betty Crocker Home- making Test. A possible answer to this question is the lack of respons ibility. Responsibility is the ability to fulfill obligations. The tr uth of the matter happens to be, that most teen-agers end up going by the motto, Never do today, what you can put off until tomorrow. At first these words sound amusing, yet the lack of responsible action at the right time, is often a te e n - ag e r ' s weakest point. Many times people are aware of things that must be done, but they hesitate to act, either because they think someone else will eventually do them or they feel it can be put off for a while. How muchresponsibility should be ex- pected of Redeemer students? Our main objective should be trying to excel aca- demically. This does not necessarily mean that we must attain a 4. 0 average every quarter, but it does mean that we must work to the best of our abilities. Conscientiously c o m p 1e t e d assign- ments and active class participation are key factors in educational responsibility . A n o t h e r type of responsibility that should be seen more often at Redeemer is the responsibility of the student to make sure that everything in school is exactly the way it should be. Re-arranged bulle- tin boards should be put back in order by the first person who notices them. The collecting of forgotten milk bottles and paper bags in the cafeteria should be the responsibility of every s tu de nt not only Mother and a few reliables . The order in which study halls are con- ducted should also be the responsibility of students. Those who have no home work to keep themselves occupied with, should have respect for 0the r students who may be able to make good use of a quiet place to study. We should be mature enough to face the facts. Thesepoints of responsibility, as insignificant as they may seem, are im- portant. By accepting their importance , we will be taking the first and most dif- ficult step toward adulthood.

In itself, the score isn't important, but what took place in the barn tgyml is. It was the greatest demon- stration of school support of the team, in the last three years. We didn't come to sit, and not many people sat at any time of the game. Not many left without being hoarse, and literally drenchedfrom the heat of the game. The drums pounded out enthusiasm and drive as the Redeemer student body lifted the roof --and it's not likely to be put back on soon. The Varsity players have inspired this dynamic change. Men like Chuck Callender and Jim Choate, who have said at pep rallies, your cheering helps us; we want to hear you, have made cheering important. Going in to the game with a 1-2 season, Chuck said at the pep rally Friday, We've let you down, but we won't tonight. And you didn't let us down. We didn't let you and the team down either. II ?stlbh 4 Dear Editor: In the last issue of the SENTINEL, an editorial suggested an award for the un- known man. This aw ard deserves the support of all Redeemerites, especially any w ho have ever complained that the same few always get the honors. I, too, would like to propose a new a- ward--one for the Monitor of the Year . There are few students who wish to take upon themselves the responsibility of a study hall. Each day, the monitor has to face a cr ow d of students who are very pronounced in their disrespect. To these monitors of great courage, I believe we 5 ho u ld present a symbol of their trade--an engraved whistle. E. Zaliagiris '66 b'QAE'Editdr: It is true that spirit is essential in a team, in an organization, and ina school. And when it comes right down to the facts , Redeemer High has it. Redeemer has that KIND of spirit. . . the drive, the in- centive to give. This is really spirit in its most highest form. I cite the example of the students who , for. over two monthS, planned, practiced, and finally performed for the old folks down at the Bancroft Home. I cite also the example of the students who planned, filled, and delivered the Christmas Bas- kets for Christ's needy. And the s tudents who, by yelling a cheery hello, and having a ready smile for their fellow students, make this spirit prevail. This Christmas as we participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and we pray Glory to God in the Highest; and on Earth peace to men of goodwill, let our hearts ring out with spirit and love. . . let the spirit of Re de e m er continue to be the spirit of the Redeemer--giving and for- giving.
