Trousers baggy and our clothes look raggy” from Collediate, a bit of the Twenties, does not apply to 1958 youth. Karen Jen¬ sen, Linda Randall, Karen Hine, Ron Lis, Phyllis Ponto, and Bill McGrath like the Ivy League look. THE NEW LOOK FASHIONS The flapper of the twenties shingled her hair, raised her skirts above her knees, and shocked her elders by slathering on rouge and mascara. The male population, not to be outdone, re¬ sponded with raccoon coats and bell-bottom trousers. Today ' s fashions are no longer an out¬ ward symbol of inner revolt. The popularity of the natural look—crewcut and pony tail, the Ivy League suit, the sweater and skirt—reflects the conservatism and the stability of 1958 youth. Only the sudden popularity of this spring ' s chemise contradicts the basic pattern.

THE NEW LOOK RECREATION A muted discussion on Russian aggression or segregation, the Four Lads in hi-fi, and lots of pizza and coke—it ' s a far cry from the scratchy Boop Boop A Doo, raucous Charleston con¬ tests, and makin ' whoopee of the twenties. Television ' s Maverick and psychological mo¬ vies like Bridge on the River Kwai have stolen the spotlight from Rudolph Valentino and the It Girl, Clara Bow. Hemingway ' s lost gen¬ eration of The Sun Also Rises has given way to Sloan Wilson ' s The Man In The Grey Flannel Suit. Enjoying a casual evening in a pleasant, wood-paneled recrea¬ tion room are Barbara Maurus, Alan Johnson, Marc Johnson, Arlene Pfaff, Karen Stryker, Dick Isel, Howie Alter, and Jaye Miller.
