One student walked onto the stage modeling a sports outfit.
She is keeping up with the latest fashion trends.
For she has chosen black tarpon cloth for her very stylish bell-bottom slacks.
Her slacks are fitted and slightly flared at the bottom.
For her jacket, she has chosen red, gray, and black plaid cotton.
Her jacket features long set-in sleeves and a very low scooped neckline.
She walks to the edge of the stage, turns, poses, and exits, followed by the other students.
Fads and Fashions during the 60s included pierced earrings and papier-mache pins for the Coffee girls.
For the boys: paisley shirts, new scrub denim jeans with initials on the right back pocket, weejum shoes, and no socks.
The mod move is print shirts with London-look collars and cuffs, paired with hip-slinging pants. The boys are also wearing London Fog Jackets in shades of blue, yellow, and beige.
