In school cafeterias like Alice’s Restaurant, pizza edged out the all-American burger and hot dog as students’ favorite FOOD while tacos ran a close second. French fries were also top attractions, according to Portland-arca food supervisors. Though people found Alice’s food appetizingly pleasing, more and more students discovered that brown bagging was more convenient, conventional and economical, especially with the diet craze. No longer did the typical brown bag lunch consist of a peanut butter sandwich and Twinkie. Lunch munchers were brown bagging yogurt, granola crunchies, bean sprout salads, and for those health food freaks, nuts, seeds, and raisins. Fast foot! chains proved strong competitors when people were tired of Alice’s and wanted somewhere different to munch. Shakeys, Herfys and Tastee Freeze were found to be the best porking places with MacDonalds known as the best stop for a quick sit down or take out order.

Students like big mac’s, down vests, jean outfits Down vests, ski jackets, army fatigue pants, earth shoes, back packs, custom-made wooden clogs, embroidered work-shirts and of course the traditional blue denim skirts and jeans were very much the student FASHION trends of the past year. “Fashions have become much more casual this year with less emphasis on impressing others, stated senior Shellic McGaughcy. During the first few months of school, new students seemed to place a high priority on fashionable appearance. Kneelength “big dresses,” platform sheos and frequent use of curling irons during the morning break were evident among the sophomore girls. But, as the year progressed, styles relaxed and stressed individuality rather than fashion. Senior Cindy Sawyer echoed the typical Sunset attitude toward dress as she said, I wear whatever fits my mood.” If it felt good, they wore it in 1976.
