Everything from studded Levis laced with gold for girls, to the three pieced denim suits for guys were styled for a unique look. Peasant dresses, giving the females an alluring look topped off with fashion boots were popular. Along with the dress, an occasional shawl was softly draped around the shoulders or waist. Over sweaters were big with both guys and girls. The guys wore them with the belt loosely tied around the waist and possibly a matching tailored western shirt underneath. Cowl necklines and stick pins were characteristics of the girl's sweater wardrobes. Zig-zagged stripes in bold colors or picturesque scenes in earth tones were often the background for these added touches Of course, the soft pastels, mixed, matched or alone, could be found in all types of clothes. For braving the Oklahoma winter wind, guys donned the 'downed' jacket. The style caught on so well, girlfs began wearing them too, Colors ranged from solid basic blue, orange and green for the guys to reds, yellows and whites for the girls. The girl's coats also had various geometric designs on them. Earth shoes were the thing for warm weather but once the cold hit, boots fast replaced them, Once this happened, insulated ski boots, hiking boots, fashion boots and even occasional western cowboy boots were widespread, Levis still appeared to be the thing that went best with everything. High waisted, hip huggers and cords were just a few of the Levi styles. Styles change from year to year and sometimes even day to day. lt was evident though in the current fashion world that the true personality could always come through. fashions 27

ALL smiles and braces Mrs Martha owl Four eyes! Tinsel teeth! Metal mouth! Call 'em names, nicknames, frivolities or small talk, but to the people who had glasses,contacts or braces, it became a way of life, Braces, once administered, became a permanent accessory. They were sort of like a builtein piece of silver jewelry. TfShirts proclaiming Braces are beautiful could be seen popping up. A yellow smiley face would be adorned with an array of silver, A haven from glasses could be found in the wearing of contact lenses, Yet, there were those days of contact attacks when they'd been in too long, when it was dusty outside, or they just wouldn't work at all. That was when the old frames that were kept inthe bottom drawer beneath the socks came in handy. Sometimes contacts even helped start new friendships. When that blasted contact accidentially popped out in the parking lot or in class, there were always plenty of frantic people who watched their step and Sandersfeld proudly displays her plcked around untll the mlnute rm grin piece of glass had been found, 28 Contacts and Braces
