Individuality Is Key Word In Youth’s Fashion Tempo Lake Central students threw con¬ formity to the winds and dressed as their moods dictated. The traditional mixed easily with new innovations to present conservative dressers and individualists alike a distinct look. Swinging plaid kilts topped by matching vests over tailored jersey shirts gave girls casual affairs a boyish, sporty look. Wide-legged trousers, laughingly nicknamed “elephant” pants were revived from the 1930’s, and provided the right look for an evening at Cas¬ sandra’s or the Melting Pot. Even a few daring guys sported the bell bot¬ toms—perhaps exclusives bought at “The Man at Ease” in Old Town, or the real things from the Armv-Navy Surplus. With hearty male approval, girls’ formal fashion grew softer and even more feminine. Lace jabots spilled down the bodices of velvet and velve¬ teen dresses in the Renaissance style of Romeo and Juliet. Nor was music dictated by a single sound. Donovan, the controversial Joan Baez, and Judy Collins contri¬ buted music with a meaning, while wailin’ soul and blues—the Motown sound—were presented by James Brown, and the teaming of the fantas¬ tic Supremes and Temptations. The Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and count¬ less other rock groups rounded out the extremes of today’s tempo. Matching “steady sweaters”, such as Gail Walz’ and Paul Larson’s, identified several steady couples. The ’68-’69 fashions ran the gamut from the traditional to the unusual as Rick Par¬ ris, Joyce Haralovich, Bill Mista, and Carole Reichelt demonstrate. 10
