A very blg ltem ln the clothing stores thls year is the quilted vest. Kitty Parrlsh models thls one for us. Satln pants, sllk shlrts, and baggy pants are also on the fashlon llst for men. But our guys seem more comfortable In flannel shlrts, Insulated vests, levls, tennls shoes, and thermal underwear. Other fashions that we can't overlook are blg velour sweaters, the layered look, Ieotards wlth sklrts, clutch purses, hats, belts, and those good ol' standby jeans. Wlth warmer weather we'll be ready to wear our cutoffs. Sorry, but cutoffs are not on the llst of the latest. Remember those shorts that go down to the knees? Well, folks, Bermudas are the latest. Lucklly, along wlth them, gym shorts made the llst as dld the blklnl which wlll always be fashionable. Dlsco dancing, by far, ls the biggest fad of the year and has led to the lesser fads of plastlc clothes, body glltter, platlnum fingernails, green eyelashes and dark, dark llpstlck.

The List Of Attlred ln the latest below the knee skirt, high fashion boots, and a smart vest, Llsa Johnson borrows some typing paper from a classmate. S-Club jackets, Insulated vests, T-shirts, levls, and cowboy hats seem to be the favorite dress for guys here at Stone. This year startling new fashions hit the public. Today's fashions have certainly become more - how would you say - ah, yes, Interesting. Blazers wlth padded shoulders, long sklrts, bobby socks, and splkes or saddle oxfords are reminiscent of the '50's. Then there's the Annle Hall look wlth lts baggy pants and the all American tle. And if you're Into western styles, this year is for you, pardner. The simple dress wlth frills and lace are now made to wear wlth your favorite cowboy boots and hat for the way out western look. Along with the Disco craze has come the shiny look - satin pants with silk shirts and to make the shiny effect even shinier, stick pins or scatter plns or both. Candles made the fashion scene this year, too - not candy as in sweets, Candles as in shoes. This new style of shoe ls very popular with straight legged pants which have made a comeback. Leon Warden wears a flannel shirt, cowboy. hat and levls - a comfortable outfit for school. 32 Student LIfelFashions 8. Fads

Homecoming '78 - A Tropical Paradise Durlng the Homecoming pep rally, the cheerleaders do their traditional little people dance to Notre Dame. Aloha, Kanakas and Wahlnes! Come wlth me to the Paradise of the Pacific, where brllllant flowers, flery volcanoes, green valleys, warm blue seas and gently swaying palm trees - not to mention the gently swaying grass skirts - entice and intrigue, where the colorful and exotic are commonplace and the humdrum and dull are unheard of. Pause with us for a while in the Land of Enchantment while we weave a little magic and tell you the Legend of Homecoming Week. The annual staff started the festivities by selling Spirit Chain Links. Even though on Monday everything started out slow, the cheerleaders tried to get everyone fired up by coming to school dressed like Tomcats. Tuesday had a little more bang, as Ugly Day went over really good. Some of the students knocked themselves out trying to be the ugliest. Nobody at Stone High ever thought it would be hard to get any of our football cheerleaders to talk, but everybody had second thoughts Wednesday on Make a Cheerleader Talk Day. At noon when the contest was over, there were still 3 cheerleaders out of -10 who hadn't talked. Thursday everybody was looking forward to the bonfire. Even though it drizzled all day, we dldn't let that dampen our spirit. That afternoon the Homecoming Court, escorts, band, and cheerleaders went down to Perk to rehearse the pregame actlvltles. After practice the court went back to the Ag Building to work on their float. The longer they worked, the more lt began to take the shape of a tropical paradise. Who but Mrs. Caln would have believed they could turn newspaper into a volcano, coconut trees, and even exotic birds. It took patience and a lot of hard work, but it pald off. The volcano topped the blcentennial eagle. Cutest, Marcia Meadows, gives Wendy Walts and Lorese Taylor a run for their money at being ugliest, too. Aided by Troy Cobb and a little gas, the bonfire reaches its peak. 34 Student L ifelHomecomlng 1 u , an-. , .-,..:w1.-V. S ,lt X 't I ,. I .
