Fads and Fashions 21

CB’s biggest fad of 1975-76 Throughout a year many pat- terns and trends are established by fads of fashions. These pat- terns influence one's apparel, hobbies, and amusements. How- ever fads and fashion change each year and lifestyles change accordingly. This year the main article of clothing was sweaters. These sweaters had a variety of solid, striped, and scenic designs in both cardigan and pullover styles. To accent the sweaters girls wore scarves with them. Scarves were seen in all colors and designs. They could be tied a va- riety of ways to show each person’s uniqueness. Wallabees were still a major part of the footwear. However, Earth shoes were introduced and immediately took prominence. A common scene to watch was a group of girls standing together comparing mood rings. These rings were very popular and could reveal everyone’s mood by their color. Another popular fashion acces- sory was the necklace. These necklaces were made of various kinds of material but the major difference was the fact that boys were also wearing them. Afros, cornrows, and shag hairdos continued as popular hairstyles. The most common out-of- school amusement was com- municating on citizen’s band radios. Many students had them in their cars while others had access to one at home. Many selected a handle to use on their CB. Entertainment was also found in areas of acting and music. “Jaws” was the most popular movie viewed by all. A variety of tastes in music was also shown. 20 Fads and Fashions

Previously scheduled for Febru- ary 9 through 14, Twirp Week was held February 16 through 21 due to difficulties in procurring a band. The one week’s delay, however, didn’t dampen the student body's enthusiasm. On Monday the students wore bandannas in their favorite colors. This day was quite successful because bandannas have been very popular at NHS this year. Student-Teacher Day finally gave the students the opportunity to get a first hand account of what it is like being a teacher, as many students were allowed to teach classes. Baggy, cuffed, pants, long skirts, bobby socks, and pony-tails were common sights on Wednesday, The ’50’s Day. Thursday was Green and Gold Day. The students showed their homage to NHS by wearing green and gold, the school colors. Sadie Hawkins Day, held on Friday, gave the girls the opportu- nity of asking the guys to the dance. Judging from the number of people at the dance, the girls really took advantage of the ephemeral privi- ledge to break the traditional rules of etiquette. Saturday night was the climactic end of the week of activities planned by the Student Council. The students and faculty were en- tertained by ‘The Sly, The Slick, and The Wicked.” During the inter- mission, William Bynum, Senate chairman, introduced the court and announced the Valentine Queen. Calmly, William began making the announcement the student body had awaited all week, “Second runner-up, Dawn Quinlan; first runner-up, Teresa Clark; and the 1975-76 Valentine Queen, Natalie Rogers.” Tears, hugs, and screams filled the air. Another evening of pleasant memories were once again made at Northwood. 1. Twerp Court for the 1975-76 school year are from left to right; front: Corledia McClinton, Tami Goodwin. Cindy Lynch.
