Home Economics instructor, Jane Feebock, was a �fashion forward� influence on campus. Her patterned mini-dress and pant suit were stylish choices in women�s wear. A style called �punk� developed in London. It included spiked hair in unusual colors and multiple ear and other body part piercings. (The piercing would wait 15 years before showing up in Central Wisconsin.) Picture (150x327, 8.4Kb)

The new �midi� style in 1970 was a fashion disaster, since few would wear the mid-calf length. Young women continued to wear the �mini� and paired it for winter with a �maxi� coat. Men�s plaid bell-bottom trousers were usually made of double knit polyester and worn with a high chunky heeled shoe. Picture (150x220, 7.6Kb)
