Red and white ibut not bluel jerseys identify the members of the Country Club '76 cheering section at the last pep assembly ofthe year. Although some predicted it would be, it wasn't a year for red, white, and blue fashions. But when the Country Club '76 came into being, the halls bulged with those who donned the red and white, but left the blue at home. As founder of the forty-four member senior cheering section, Joel Sarver said that he got the group together to prove that spirit was alive and thriving at Fleming. The club did some- thing different at each assembly to keep the cheers bouncing from the rafters. 20 Fashions Mm' Most of the Country Clubbers whose cheers bounced from the rafters comple- mented their red and white jerseys with Fleming's forerunner in the fashion world - painter's pants. Style-conscious Colonels made a beeline for Sam's or the Army-Navy Store and plunked down 56.98 for a pair of Dee Cees or Duckheads, com- plete with loops for paint brushes. Denim still claimed the title of the most-worn fabric, appearing in dresses and pocket- books, jumpsuits and wrap-around skirts. A back-to-bib movement saw fans look- ing fresh from the farm, but spruced-up a little with scarves for girls and bandannas for guys. Other fashions - big-rimmed -is f ag-6' -ter-A 515115 132395-'w glasses, puka shell beads for both guys and girls, and shorter hair for guys - made the scene in '76. Big-soled shoes slid to the back of the closet as Earth Shoes began to pound the pavement. Longer hemlines pleased some and baffled others. Most girls saw the downward movement in dress lengths as much more comfortable to work in, but guys complained that longer dresses left less for the eye and more for the imagination. lt was a year when you didn't have to be a painter to wear painter's pants, a ski buff to wear ski sweaters, or a left-over from the fifties to wear straight-legged jeans. You just had to be style-conscious. ,.ss,..z.t- .., ,H 3 W. W iatr' -- .. jj B .K . y aw 2
