Suspenders varied in colors and sizes and even prices depending on width and where they were bought. Often they were not to be found anywhere in town and many students heard the line that they were on order and would be in any day now. Brightly colored and from l to 2 inches wide, suspenders opened eyes early in the morning. Worn with jeans and T-shirts, they added color and variety to a wardrobe. Although Suspenders were supposed to be worn instead of a belt, often a belt accompanied them. Sometimes not needed to hold up pants, belts worn depended on the slacks worn. Kickers wore western belts with buckles to complete the overall look. Leathercraft class helped some students to design and manufacture their own belts to reflect their individual taste and artistic ability. Braided jute belts were also worn with jeans. Scarves moved around on the body of students. Some found that wearing them around the neck was fashionable while others liked them on top of their hair. Frequently they were worn like turbans or in a gypsy style tied on the side or in back. When worn around the neck they were tied on the side or in front. Colors and patterns depended on the rest of clothing worn. Sizes of scarves relied mostly on where they were to be worn. A shawl was the perfect ac- cessory tor a cool evening. Often it added the classy look to otherwise plain formals and a cozy look to knee length dresses. Whether knitted or crocheted they did not look warm but did add warmth. l wouldn't wear a shawl to school, said Marie Robinson, l think they are too much of a bother for school. Shawls could be seen around waists and tied on sides or dangling on the elbows of many. Sweaters were also worn on cool evenings. Occasionally they were worn like coats while at other times they were worn over the shoulders with the sleeves tied in front.

Some people did not use a crimping iron, but braided their hair when it was wet, let it dry and took the braids out. Natural atro's were also popular. To make the hairdo stay nice, keeping it trimmed was necessary. Afro cuts made the wearer look as it she had a permanent. No blow drying was required, unless the hair started growing out. Then it needed to be dried and brushed. Wings are common in both guys and girls. With all the waves, there may not be as many wings, Debbie said. Many people wear wings with a styled cut and with long hair. 28 trend.: and fashion:
