The college look consisted of a pair of cotton slacks with an oxford shirt and a thick wool sweater. Ju- nior Matt Richmond said, Theycollege look is my favor- ite and the one I choose most often.

These accesso- ries, however, were banished from school because of the physical harm they could have caused. With the ROTC depart- ment dressing in uniform on Wednesdays, fashion mer- chandising classes dressing up on Thursdays, and other stu- dents dressing on special days like inductions and pep rallies, the dress codes were varied. The way a person dressed defined him as a part of a group or an individual. The different styles, comprised of diR'erent,attitudes and prefer- ences, made for a year long fashion show for students.
