"Round and round she goes
where she stops, nobody knows.
Slowly the old wheel of high
school fashions spins to a stop.
The winner this time is — Mon
day, K^y Webb in a bright red
straight slim skirt and a perky
matching blouse of jersey knit. A
narrow black leather belt com
pletes the becoming outfit.
Quick as a wink, the wheel is
spinning again. Now the winner is
•—Tuesday, Maxine Hassell, a black
corduroy jumper dress with prino-
ess lines and a baby blue tailored
shirt blouse.
The group around the wheel
moves closer, tension mounts. Sud-
denly a new winner—Wednesday,
Gloma Burchfield in a soft pink
quilted skirt and pink and white
checked blouse. To give that cer-
tain finishing touch a jacket of
velveteen in a boxy style is worn.
As the evening wears on, the
players see such winners as
Thursday, Nelda Smith, a cute cot'
ton print in quite autumn colors
of brown and red. It has a full ga-
thered skirt and rolled collar. Tiny
brown buttons accent the front of
the dress.
In the wee small hours, the feel-
ing of suspense mounts higher,
higher, and higher! The wheel u
spinning furiously. Players strain
«yes and nerves as they await the
winner. No! Yes! Yes, it is—Fri
day, Mary Shankles and Lillie
•Paye King in matching Frontier
pants of khaki. Bright plaid shirts
of cotton complete the charming
outfits.
