Get It On One hundred years ago tight, whalebone corsets prevented fashionable young ladies from breathing. In 1979-80 Calvin Klein jeans served the same purpose at RHS. To match the jeans, girls selected their accessories carefully. Gold chain necklaces and bracelets, along with gold belts seemed to be the best items to wear. Leather clutch purses added a distinguished touch to most outfits, overalls included. Footwear varied from klunky wooden clogs to precariously high sandals. For girls preferring the dressy style, slit skirts, and velour dresses seemed to hold special attraction. To complement her wardrobe, the fashionable girl permed her hair by sticking her finger in a wall socket. The male species at Richfield tended to ignore fashion, as usual. Faded jeans, flannel shirts, sweaters, velour shirts, turtle necks, and football jerseys on Fridays made up their attire. They were shod in beaten-up Nikes or cowboy boots. On a special occasion, like the Homecoming Dance, they tolerated a three-piece suit and a noose-like tie.
