reflected the fabulous fclds cmd fine fashions of '68 Northeast students, ever fashion con- scious, were in the swing of things this year, rockin' out in the fads and fancies of '68. Eyes were looking from head to toes. Many girls purchased falls and some had whole wigs, thus coming to school one day with a short bob, the next with shoulder-long locks. Hardware and psychedelic stripes were new on dresses. Hopsacking was big,with girls' dresses and boys' trousers, plain or plaid. As colder weather came girls stuck with the ever faithful co-ordinates and kilts, but adding to the look of '68 were culottes, pant skirts, and fisherman knit sweaters. Travelling outside, warmth was found in fur hats, which came in a variety of colors and styles. In the line of boys clothes, short sleeved sweaters and cable knits were worn. For dres- sier occasions, many boys wore the new plaid sports coats. Instead of exciting new cars, some boys looked back in the past, conse- quently the parking lot hosted a variety of old timers along with the newer cars. For both back-to-school and social hours, square toes were a must in shoes. Girls also chose pilgrim shoes, and boys desert boots and wing tips, with the standard loafers. Whether standing in line to see To Sir With Love or Bonnie and Clyde, dancing such favorites as the bugaloo, skate, or the philly, or just attending classes, LN stu- dents kept up with the fashions of '68 and proclaimed the year one that would be long- remembered. vi
