Show As I See It Tins column will be used exclusively this year for the purpose of getting the honest opinion of both the feminine and masculine Southerners upon one specific subject. The first subject is: "What I think the oppo-site oppo-site sex should choose for school wearing apparel in order to look well-dressed." Our guest writers are Lois Jean Brimley and Keith Best. To me, a boy has a great advantage ad-vantage over a girl in one respect, re-spect, because if he has but one attractive sweater and a pair of neatly kept and pressed trousers, he can look like a million dollars each day. Nothing looks classier than one of those beige V-necked sweaters, or maybe one of those new novelty sweaters with In- - - i h.u ' J I " i 1 v - :."r ' - r - ' f ' r,.., run,,. dian designs woven into it. A whte shirt under a sweater always points out a well-dressed boy. We must mention the handsomely dressed Ii. O. T. C. man. The suit he wears always looks neat, and gives a distinguished look to whomever wears one. And don't think the girls don't notice, because they do. But really, a boy doesn't have to wear a let-terman's let-terman's sweater, or have two or three spots on the shoulder of his R. 0. T. C. outfit to make him popular with the girls. Neatness is the first qual- ity that is noticed in any boy, and then comes his personality, school spirit both in M....IW.,I I,. sports and scholarship, and his attitude toward all activities. I think the way girls dress at South is all right. The more fads they have, the better, because it breaks up the daily monotony of the school routine. If it weren't for such things of novelty, what a dull world this would be! The things I dislike girls to wear are sandals, solid red dresses, mad-bull lipstick and fingernail polish. To me, I believe most of the boy students at South will agree, girls look most -attractive in white, whether in formals or everyday every-day dresses. Girls shouldn't try to act to any set pattern. The main thing is for them to be themselves and t not try to put on a front, because sooner or later, that front must collapse and her true self will be revealed. |
