JEANS GO PREPPY In dressing, students opted for the traditional blue jeans plus some other not-so-tradi- tional styles. Past styles were not ignored, they were added to. Button-down shirts were made ‘‘chic”’ by knotted scar- ves and Levis were dressed up by gold and silver belts. Comments like ‘‘You have legs’’ were heard as young ladies donned more dresses than in past years. Around the halls and while attending extra-curricular activities students and teach- ers alike were dressed in vests and peasant shirts. Many students decided to go ‘‘preppy”’ as they dressed in wool and corduroy shirts teamed with knee socks. A necessity for everyone's wardrobe was lots of gold and silver jewelry, worn to- gether in many cases. Stick pins were all the rage at the beginning of the year and their popularity lasted throughout the year. Guys were also included in the fashion scene as they dressed in vest and straight legged pants. Popular items for the male population at Parry McCluer were multi- striped belts and suspenders, corduroy jackets and down jackets. GOOD LOOKS COME IN ALL SIZES AND STYLES as Crystal Morrison and Stretch Armstrong dress in the current fashion trend. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL OC- CASION TO DRESS UP as Larry Jones shows in his stylish corduroy jacket. ALWAYS A POPULAR WINTER FASHION, the ski sweater, like this one worn by Timmy Stinnett, is a valuable part of almost everyones’ wardrobe.
