Parade of Latest Fashions Brightens the Halls Fads and fashions change with the times and 1962 was no exception. The guys set the pace at WHS by wearing heavy-knit ski sweaters, vests, and felt hats. Italian toed shoes were high on their list. Both colorful and flashy sweaters were in fashion. The girls’ wardrobes still consisted of short pleated skirts and sweaters. The corduroy car- coat, the trench coat, and the trapeze coat were three popular styles. A variety of shoes high- lighted the year. The girls chose the conven- tional loafers for most occasions. They also fa- vored the high boots and colored corduroy ten- nis shoes. Matching sweaters could be seen worn in the halls by couples going together.
