"It’s gone from blue jeans
to bluejeans," is the way
Prlnclp^ Jate Atkinson sum
marizes the evolution of stu
dent dress during the past few
decades.
Even the casual observer
would have to have noticed
nothing short of a revolution
in styles taht's taken place
during the past four years or
so.
From the "Ivy League”
-Vi- • t-f'»
wardrobe of the early and
mid-sixties, to the mod, cas
ual, “now” look of the 70's
is quite a visual shock, but
going back farther, 20 or 30
years, what changes have tak
en place.
We talked with three teach
ers at Kings Mountain High
who have seen the fads come
and go.
Miss Helen Logan com
mented about the styles she
has observed during her 32
years as guidance counselor.
The one she detests most was
the very full mid-calf shirt
worn with layer upon layer
of graduating petticoats and
hoops. She recalls how skirts
stood out so far that It became
difficult for girls to pass one
another on the stairs and al
most impossible for them to
take their seats In class.
This particular fad dated
back to the mid-fifties. Miss
Logan remembers a near ac
cident when a girl got her
slips caught in a car door.
Mrs. Juanita Goforth In her
23rd year of teaching in the
English Department, and Mrs.
Suzy Howard In the Business
Department for 22 years also
recollect the full skirts, tight
sweaters, boy's penny loafers
and beltless jeans, and crew
cuts.
F reedom of personal expres
sion is possible through
dress, and Individuality now
predominates; whereas, eight
years ago, in the early sixties
styles became uniform and
everyone strived to look alike
In “Name brand” clothes.
Prestige tables created snob
bishness and pressure to con
form. In those days every
one "dressed-up” for school.
Now, it’s fashionable to
“dress-down”, emphasis is
upon comfort and casualness.
Our panel ol teachers admit
that the students now dress
for comfort as well as style.
They stated that Kings Moun
tain High does not have a re
putation for extremely faddish
or way-out styles. Students
are usually considerate In
their mode of dress. As long
as a student is neat and clean
in appearance, his fashion is
usually acceptable.
Dress codes here are min
imal. Boys must wear socks,
and shoes must be worn by
all students. Otherwise there
are few rules and it is the
very extreme, such as too
short, or too tight that will
create any complaint.
Complaints about dress are
customarily dealt with by the
Dean of Girls. Surprisingly
enough. It is more often found
that complaints originate
from fellow students rather
than faculty.
There are many high school
girls who are currently going
braless, but this fad did not

Barbara Sipe Enrolled In Honors Program
■ A King’s Mountain student
Rs among the 76 students en
rolled in the Honors Program
at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro for

sophomore, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Junius F. Sipe, Rt.l
Box 297-A, and is majoring
in Spanish and Latin American
studies. She is participating
in the sophomore honors tut
orial program at UNC-G.
Honor students take special
courses in addition to work
related to their degree re
quirements. The program is
supervised by an Honors
Council composed of 10 facul
ty members. Superior acad
emic achievements in a pre
requisite for admission to the
program.
Sophomore honors students
are able to choose either a
tutorial, in which a small
group of students explore a
selected theme with a faculty
member, or an Interdisciplin
ary seminar which deals with
a theme that cuts across de
partmental lines.
Juniors are offered a se
minar dealing with the at
tempts of the human mind to
understand Itself and the hu
man situation. Seniors are
enrolled in a seminar which
allows individual study under
the guidance of a faculty mem
ber.
Forty-seven sophomores,
17 juniors and 12 seniors are
involved in the honors pro
gram out of an undergraduate
enrollemnt of 5,145. UNC-G

ors program turorials during

seem to cause any dismay on
the part of the three faculty
members interviewed, having
between them a total of 77
years experience teaching.
Current hair styles are long,
long, long! Girl s are wear
ing the long straight hair
which has been in style for
some time now. The ultra-
curly or "frizzy” look Is on
the scene too, and a few
shags. Boys are wearing hair
long, and this is quite acc
eptable to the teachers, pro
vided it’s neat and clean. Mrs.
Howard went so far to say
short hair on a boy now looks
somewhat odd.
The girls are wearing very
little jewelry and make-up.
Most of the jewelry is of the
peace-symbol variety, and in
make-up, the emphasis is on
the eyes. The girls are very
creative in their use of color,
lines, mascara, etc.
Hip-hugger pants are the
current craze amont the girls.
These, worn with body shirts
are predominate. The teach
ers haven’t noticed as ext
reme a change in the boys
wear. They are wearing
jeans, a lot of sneakers -
bright colored shirts are big.
Miss Logan commented on
how attractive the colors for
boys are.
They have notes relatively
few Afro hair styles within
the student body.
In summary, the teachers
were in agreement that you
can’t judge a student by what
he or she wears.
Many American high school
students do not realize that
European high school students
are mostly required to wear
a uniform in high school, usu
ally of one predominate color.
Everyone then looks alike and
all competitiveness and ind
ividuality in dress is elimin
ated.
