Ivy League clothes invaded the middle west, and everything Went striped, buttoned-down, and narrow shouldered. Old-time favorites, saddle oxfords and ankle socks, remained, but shell-pumps called flats', were first choice with most teen-agers. Boys were resplendent in white bucks or saddle oxfords. Three-quarter length car-coats were important, sweaters and skirts were almost a uniform, striped or checked caps became a must for boys. Hair-dois ranged from severe little boy', styles to pony-tails for girls. The popular burr cut for boys showed faint signs of diminishing popularity, probably because the price of hair-cuts went up to 51.50 and 51.75. Skirts for girls varied from the slim to the ex- tremely wide, flared by gorgeously feminine crino- lines. The sissy shirtwaistn was a softened version of the formerly tailored style. Both teachers and parents sighed with relief as they once again saw truly feminine, attractive girls, and smartly dressed boys, after years of addiction to sloppiness. flacflj Barbara Hammer looks over the North Central fashions modeled by ,lim Leffel, Bob Loser, Barbara Lund, and Susan Harvey. fI.0wc'rj Cars were important items in the lives of North Central boys.
