(Sketches By June McCauley) '
As the years fly by, so do the
fashion pictures of the day. 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!)

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. The women
attending the big game Thurs
day, the last of the series, will
be wearing neat outfits, and
cheering, quite enthusiastically,

"Flapper" Era
1959 - New Trend
What, When,
Be A Writer?
people don't want to hear about
the many things that are wrong.
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.
But there will be a next dead
line, because you wouldn't have
it any dlifferently.
