The fashions are as changing as the scoreboards of the numerous traditional football games in Carolina Stadium. In the realm of fashion many changes have been noted over the passing years of the series 'of Big Thursday games. To illus trate these changes, the fashion styles of the Big Thursday games of the past are reviewed here. In the beginning of this great clash of foes, in 1896, bustle-clad women daintily - cheered their teams on to victory . . . by pay ing more attention to each others' clothes than to the game. (Just as is done today!) The lady in the sketch for this period is dressed in the typical fashion of the day . . . to cheer Carolina to victory in the first game. "Flappers" In the 1910's the ladies dar ingly showed ankles, demurely clad, of course, in thick black, cotton stockings. During the wild 20's " t h a t horrible younger generation" actually showed their knees! There was nothing demure about these young ladies, the wildest of whom were known as "flap pers." The representative of this era, shown in the sketch, seems quite confident of a Carolina victory. Ilmlines Drop Every action must have a re action. The reaction to the "flap pers" was an increasing aware ness of tle rules of propriety. T h e hemlines appropriately dropped . . . (THUD!)

R Bet (!lemson! _ )fS C1 In the third illustration, ap proximating the years 1935-40, the hemline is long, collars hig-h once more, and sleeves long. This is the era just before the war. However*, World War 11 came along, bringing with it a scarcity of fabric and a new outlook in the fashion world. The*attractive uniforms of the women in the armed services were in many cases copied for civilians. Efficient Look The clothes of this .time show a tall, willowy, wide-shouldered . look. These clothes had a smart and efficient look about them, as (lid the women who wore them. In the early 50's, the wide shouldered look gave way to a fragile, feminine appearance. This trend was emphasized by bouffant skirts over full creno lines; it also ieatured full, sot sleeves. Soon, however, a new craze took over . . . the sack look. The niurpose of the "sack" was evi dently to hide woman from the world. Needless to say, the sack didn't last long. To The Present The present period seems to he dictated by the woman her self . . . a sort of "wear-what ever-suits-you" phase. The fourth illustration features the slouch hat and the neat suit with bow tie. Colors are the big item in to day's al)parel, with many outfits, oither coordinating or comple menting each other.

But sometimes you get through. Sometimes there is a response. You have communi cated with some soul that says: "I see it, too." Maybe you don't both see the same thing, but no matter, there is someone else who sees besides yourself. You're hooked. Back to the hostile typewriter, the ulcerous deadlines, the eye strain. Back to it all as you convince yourself that the world outside isn't such a bad place after all. Until the next deadline, that is, and then you're not so sure.
