Spring is here and it is time to begin
tliinling about wliat the fashion for
this summer will be like. Tailored but
feminine clothes seem to be the trend
for women. The colors are from soft
pastels to bright colors.
Skirts are floral printed, plaid, and
solid. The waists of these skirts are
natural, gathered or tied. Some of the
more formal skirts have a slit on the
side.
Pants are in soft and bright colors.
The designer look in jeans is also very
popular this year. Shorts have the
natural or elasticized waist. Boxer
shorts with the slits on the sides are
most popular. Favorite fabrics are
cotton, satin, and terry cloth.
Dresses are one-piece, two-piece,
blousoned, flounced, and vested.
Colors are pastels and bright prints.
Blouses this season are embroidered,
tunic, gauze, and terry cloth to name
a few. This piece of clothing can be
worn with dressy or casual styles. The
choice of a particular style depends
upon what is to be worn with the
blouse.
One-piece danskin bathing suits are
extremely popular because they have
other uses besides swimming. They
can be worn as tops with skirts and
pants, or for a dancing outfit. Another
popular one-piece bathing suit is the
French cut with a u-shaped back.
Just a few of the fashions have
been mentioned so get your
imagination to work and create ai
versatile summer wardrobe.
Men's clothes in the past certainly
have not been publicized like
women's fashions. But recently
men's apparel have taken on a new
look. More emphasis is being put on
men's clothing than ever before by
the fashion experts. There is a fresh
new look on the way men wear
clothes. Emphasis is being placed on
leaness, practicality, and "natural
chic". Men will notice clothes being
cut closer to the body.
For the first time in a long time, the
spring fashion message is clear.
Clothes that are "in" are to be neat,
clean, and lean. Proportions are
slimmer; lapels are narrower, as are
ties. Shirt collars are narrower, as are
ties. Shirt collars are smaller; fabrics
are sleeker, softer and even more
natural. "No more bulk" is the word
from the clothiers. Texture is more
important than ever for this season.
The feeling is that narrow
proportions will make men look and
appear taller and slimmer. All this
results from the tapered lines. The
new^ look strives for "complesity
without contradiction". Textures
with plaids and stripes are being
joined by a common idea: silk, silky
clothes will be prominent.
Easy cotton is as popular as ever.
White will be in big supply. In the
sportswear line, a variety of linen and
terry shorts will be worn with loose
tops.
Here is a thought that will not go
over very well. Blue jeans never have,
and never will be, fashionable.
Fashion designers are still puzzled at
why blue jeans are so popular. They
feel jeans look terrible, and the only
good thing about them is that they
are good work clothes. Designers feel
blue jeans are just a fad that is way
over priced.

Rockers Reach Their Goal
By Myra Taylor
Staff Writer
The tenth annual Easter Seals
Rock-a-thon was sponsored April 4-7
by the Chrisitian Life Council. Rusty
Barath was chairman of the project.
Their goal was $2,500 and a total of
$2,719 was collected so quite a bit
more money was received this year.
The official rocker was Phylis
Herndon. She rocked Wednesday
through Saturday with honorary
rockers relieving her at times. The
first day that she rocked there was a
continuous downpour of rain which
meant that she had to rock in a
shelter. The rest of the week was
pretty so she rocked outside and
enjoyed the sunshine.
Approximately 21 honorary rockers
relieved "' Phylis, and around 40
student volunteers collected money
from passer-by shoppers, and people
riding by in cars. Their diligent work in
collecting donations helped the CLC
to exceed the set goal.
Faculty members of LC who were
honorary rockers include Mrs. Allen,
Mr. Yow, Cecil Donahue, LuAnn
Schminkey, Dr. Cecil Robbins (past
LC president), Floyd Murray, Mrt
King, Mr. White, Mr. Farmer, Dean
Morgan, and Mrs. Bailey.
Thanks to those who helped to
make the rock-a-thon a success.
