The Watergate scandal created much controversy, and the res- ignation of many respected officials.

What are people wearing at Lincoln? In December, Fashion officially de- clared the mini skirt dead, and many girls started covering their knees when school started. With the longer skirts came scarves and thin heeled shoes with open toes. Both girls and guys are wearing hooded sweaters, farmer jeans, and the new natural shoes with soles higher than the heels. Returning from last year are platform shoes, satin, glitter, camel-colored .ii at K coats, and straight-leg pants. A senior girl sums up fashion this year at Lincoln, People will wear any- thing!
