Glasses grow scarce A subtle fad hit Rogers as more and more students shed their glasses. Miraculously, people who had been afflicted with eye problems for years appeared to have regained 20-20 vision overnight. But a deep look into Jill Wetzel’s eyes revealed he explanation — contact lenses! Sweaters top off Sweaters — nearly everyone wore them, but the styles were so diverse that each was different. Students wore striped, solid, pullover and letter sweaters; sweaters with short sleeves, collars, pockets, belts, hoods, pictures, V-necks, HMWiFSCOla Y in ? 'wqs------ 26

the styles crew necks, turtlenecks, button and zip fronts. Part of the craze was due to fashion, but many students found sweaters essential in chilly classrooms. Feet finally find fashions Times change, and so does footwear. In the past socks of anything but solid colors were unheard of. However, fashionable feet strolling the halls of Rogers High in 1976 were adorned with striped, argyle, print and bicentennial socks. When the temperature dipped, socks with toes were popular. No longer were they a dull part of everyone's wardrobe or just something to put on before the shoes. The brighter, more original the sock, the better. Citizens band together “It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June in a Kenworth pulling logs. Cabover Pete had a reefer on and a jimmy hauling hogs.” These familiar words of C. W. McCall’s song, Convoy,” triggered the Citizen’s Band radio rage. In past years the Federal Communication Commission received approximately 40,000 license applications per month. In late 1975 the average skyrocketed to about 300,000 each month. In 1976 CB antennaes have continued to spring up around the country. The Kalso Earth shoe and its countless copies became Rogers most popular foot fashion. Characterized by a negative heel, the Earth shoe was designed to be a more natural and comfortable style of footwear. Most students, though, bought lower- priced imitations, finding that they could not afford the original shoe on their limited budgets. But a few felt that these reproductions were unacceptable and would not settle for anything but the genuine Earth shoe, despite its forbidding price. The mood ring was a colorful way to subconsciously reveal inner moods and emotions. According to the body’s heat energy, the ring displayed various colors, each representing a different mood. Directions for interpreting the colors were as follows: Black — tense, harassed Amber — nervous, emotions mixed Rust — strained Green — interested Blue green — relaxed Blue — calm Dark blue — very happy Violet — the ultimate, love, passion, romance Though mood rings will probably never replace lie detectors or truth serum, they proved to some students to be entertaining. 27
