Country Look Becomes Evident DIRT FARMERS STORM SCHOOL Although the traditional rock and roll, jazz, punk, and classical music remained popular, a new type of lifestyle was gain- ing new ground. Country- Western music, clothes, television shows, and dialect was becoming increasingly popular. The first indications were Dirt Farmer Day. The school dressed as a Midlothian Trojan would; country hats, overalls, ban- danas, and cowboy boots were p revalent in the halls. In February, the Heights of Grass per- formed bluegrass and country music to an enthusiastic crowd in the gym. The next month, L’il Abners and Daisy Maes lined the dance floor at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. If anything could be said about the 20 Country Look year, it was a time of diversified lifes- tyles. The traditional gave way to old fads. The conventional was replaced with the unconventional. Jerry Collins re- marked, ‘‘Although | still like traditional things, western clothes and albums have really become popular. You see people walking down the hall with overalls and cowboy boots and you wonder what’s go- ing on.’’ Not only were our ideas being changed, but our fads as well. Howdy partner!
