King students display fashions for ' 73 This year ' s fashions could be seen throughout the school as many icids enjoyed trying out the layered look, clogs, palazzo pants, smocks, over- alls, and embroidery-decorated blue jeans. However, there was enough difference in the fashions that every- one could wear what personally appealed to them. The boys ' favorite was still blue jeans with several varia- tions in shins including Mexican wedding shirts, workshins, sweaters. and t-shirts. Fringe jackets, long coats, and overalls could also be seen through the halls. As usual, the girls took a greater interest in fashions than boys, and there was a more var- ied range in their fashions. Other than the traditional blue-jeans, girls wore palazzo pants, layered sweaters and shirts, shrinks, smocks, clogs, slaps, and whatever the stores carried.
