New Styles
Mark Year
Of Activity
As exam week brings the gal
lows and the pigtails, a review of
the year s fashions seems appro
priate . . the styles have switched
to extremes and back again . . the
classics remain and the unusuals
invade . . starting with the season
of mellow fruitfulness, we remem
ber. . .
So They Pledged.
Rush week (we'd love to forget
It) when the rushees wore black
crepe draped varieties featuring
low necklines. . .Theta Mary Lan
caster's had pink fluff around the
top. .Kappa Lorraine "Elch" Beck
Inhaur chose brown and went for
the blue and blue... at that dawn
daze breakfast everyone chose
Suits and sweaters and skirts...
mustn't neglect mentioning the
rosy eyes and Ipana propaganda
modeled by the actives of prospec
tive houses . . .
In October the football games
drew collegiate attention and so
did the coeds... for instance, Tri
telt June Griffin in her reams
f self-made sweaters causing
envy and notice. .. .Then, there's
always the day the rains came...
jio one paid much attention; rain
coats of all colors and varieties
helped and so did Rags and news
papers worn on the head... was
probably the most unique game of
the season. . .
AST and Queen Enter.
The Homecoming dance offered
opportunities for sophisticated
dresses and the best looking of all
was Peggy Larson in black... her
"pep" glowed and made her
queen. .That was the beginning of
the year when people were just
gawking at the ASTs....
The Coed Counselor dinner came
along with its style show and pic
nic on the Union ballroom floor. . ,
nil very informal, especially Maty
Jo Gish, DG, who modeled an an
cient gym suit for laughs. . .then
in several weeks, THANKSGIV
ING.'! We were only given one
day's parole, but most everyone
Went home for fowl weather and
fun . . .drosses with nail heads scat
tered hither and yon came into
being and fur coals were keeping
girls warm. . .Jeanie Guenzel being
a key note in leopard and Mir
iam Coombs, a Sigma Kappa in
soft muskrat...
Man's Dream Comes True.
The Mortar Board Party was
Chnstmasy with the huge tree and
Santa Claus...that was when the
Christmas Stocking girls walked
across the coliseum stage. . .Alpha
Phi Margie Reese would be a wel
come sight any morning in her
pink crepe with ruffles of the
same AOPi Margaret Hagen
looking more beautiful than ever,
and Alpha Chi Betty Ed Strain, a
baby dream . . .
Then, Christmas vacation, two
weeks of it. . .unusually bright col
ors dominated the holdays and fur
hats were having their day... one
combination was KKG Marsha
Craft in a blond wolf hip-length
Chubby with a black felt pill box
trimmed in the same...
The next historical (or hyster
ical) event was torn Week . . .
that is capitalized because of its
memorable qualities . . the weath
er was warm and wonderful, with
rain, of course . . pigtails were the
only thing to do, and jeans were
the costume of the day . . Alpha
Phi Mary Sinclair plaited play
posies in her hair . . everyone else
stole rubber band3 and withered
ribbons . . .

The "Student
Hangout"
THE NOOK
so did the cold weather. . .the snow
and ice forcing rubber boots and
loud bandanas on feet and heads
or vice versa. . .Season Skippers,
always smart and warm, were on
three out of five backs... Marg
Heyn's was beige tweed and D. G.
Janet Krause's blue . . fur mittens
were evident and some girls even
wore ski suits for man s struggle
against his environment...
The AST dance was somewhere
around here . . . the olive drab was
contrasted with more color by
coeds . . . Kay Detweiler, DG, was
presented as AST queen in a kelly
green taffeta formal. . .there was
a grand march giving all a chance
to model effectively. . .
We thought spring had sprung,
but it was only the primaries . . .
spring outfits were in the back
of the closet outrun by the winter
clothes you were beginning to
loathe ... In March the Coed Fol
lies presented lietty Lou Simon
as the Typical Nebraska Coed in
a soft pink pinafore. . .June Jami
son, the Kappa with the hair, was
Dame Fashion in black and gold
with long gloves...
Showers Bring Flowers.
The rains that bring the flowers
inspired unique rain coats... the
new shiny ones... AOPi Grace
Sleckley in a neutral one, Theta's
Dottie Thiesen and Jean Rogers in
blue... some green and even white
ones. .. .pastel sweaters put with
pastel skirts, .flowers in the hair. .
and the wide bands of ribbon worn
from ear to ear. . .
Easter brought forth a lot of
delectable things like Pi Phi Sue
Cochran in lavender, SDT Ghita
Hill in black and white. . .the hats
were small, the dresses soft, the
suits without lapels, .for reference,
see Ruth Kerb who is the color
of envy in her three piece suit. . .
The time for dresses that wash
will never come, .but if I'm wrong,
ey'll be gay and little-girlish
and cool. . .sun-baths will be the
vogue, picnics will thrive, "spec
tators" will cover every foot. . .
that's what happened. . .remember
it and get on your clothes horse
and ride...
