University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Yearbook (Oxford, MS)

The style of Ole Miss can often be seen in the style of her students. Visitors are quick to notice the pride and dis- tinct personalities that are represented through the clothes Ole Miss students choose to don. Football season comes but once a year and the festive atmosphere leads coeds to cheer the Rebels to victory dressed in their best. Ann Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Ruff Hewn casual wear add to the fall array of colors. The male complements of this feminine fashion show are the starched oxford and paisley tie, topping off khakis and white bucks. A new resolve, however, governs students the following Monday comfort. Faded, ripped, or cut-off Levis know no gender boundary. Hightops for the guys and Cole Haan boots for the girls are often the only separation of the sexes. Then when the sun sets and the moon takes its place, the same group of undergraduates step out in style to their favorite evening activity. From brushed cotton to clingy knits, young ladies don their Unisa flats and Claiborne accessories to join their dates dressed in J. Crew sportswear and Girbaud jeans. Ole Miss is not limited to just one fashion style, however, the variation is as limitless as the personality who chooses it. In- dividuality is proclaimed through hairstyles and shoes, accessories and labels. Personal preference rules when it comes to fashion in the life of Ole Miss students. by: Melanie Buntyn Mclanic Bunlyn McUnic Bunytn Opening I 13 I

No matter what the time of year a certain beauty enfolds the halls of the University of Mississippi. Each school year begins in the sultry heat of August as students pour onto the campus and into Oxford. Even with the heat, Ole Miss ' lush greenery lasts until the subtle change to autumn. As the temperature drops slightly, a golden glow highlights the ever present beauty. The leaves change from green to yellow to red to finally brown before becoming a blanket to protect from the winter chill that soon follows. With bare trees and no flowers, the stately architecture that is unveiled gives a sense of respect a feeling of elegant grandeur. When nature chooses, a blanket of snow covers the historic paths and as if by metamorphosis, the campus is transformed for a short time into a sparkling wonderland. Spring eagerly awaits her annual chance to wave her wand of newness, bringing sprouts of grass and new budding leaves followed by flowers and blossoms in a rainbow of colors. Not only does Ole Miss have beauty, her people are beautiful. Recognized for numerous pageant winners, Miss Americas, and lovely coeds, the stud ent body reflects a degree of beauty not often found in a single institution. Ole Miss ' students are also beautiful inside. Smiles greet one another on sidewalks, in the hallway, and across the room on the faces of friends and acquaintances. Unique in many ways, Ole Miss is truly set apart by her beauty. All who experience a part of this uniqueness, carry with them an impression with which to associate Ole Miss. by: Melanie Buntyn John Biggs Melanie Buntyn 14 1 Opening
