Staged By UNC-G Students for NSSA Wives
116 Enjoy Fieldcrest "Fashion Happening
II
A Fieldcrest “Fashion
Happening” took place on
March 26, in Salisbury when five
students from the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro
put on a fashion show of some 20
fashion garments made entirely
from Fieldcrest products.
The show was held for the
wives of members of the
National Association of
Sportscasters and Sportswriters
during their 15th annual awards
program. Approximately 116
women attended the luncheon
and fashion show, which also
featured Fieldcrest home
furnishings displays.
The models, students in the
School of Home Economics
Clothing and Textile area at
UNC-G, a lecturer in the School
of Home Economics, and her
nine-year old daughter, made all
of the garments in addition to
modeling them.
Commentator and coordinator
of the program was Ms. June
Mohler, formerly manager of
publicity and sales training for
Fieldcrest, who is at present on
leave of absence while working
toward a Ph.D degree from the
School of Home Economics at
UNC-G.
One of the highlights of the
program was a film and TV
commercials of the company’s
new Joe Namath “Playmaker”
collection for St. Marys.
Students who took part in the
fashion show were Cynthia
Weavil, Karen Rogers, Jane
McIntyre, Shirley Blackman
and Becky Nance. Ms. Peyton
Clark, a lecturer at UNC-G, and
her daughter, Peyton, also
modeled, as did Kendall Bell,
daughter of Bob Bell, area
personnel manager at the North
Carolina Finishing Company
division.
Fieldcrest was a sponsor of the
NSSA awards program this year
for the first time. North Carolina
Finishing Company, a division of
Fieldcrest Mills, Inc., however,
has been a supporter of the
program from its inception 15
years ago as a Salisbury com
munity and Chamber of
Commerce project.
The NSSA holds its awards
program annually in Salisbury.
Two national awards are
presented each year, one for
outstanding sportscasting and
one for outstanding sports-
writing. There are also awards
in both these categories for
sportscasters and sportswriters
from each of the 50 states.
