Picture Frames Os Fashion Shown By Junior Arts Department At Woman’s Club Meeting “Picture Frames of Fashion,” was the principal subject on the agenda for the general meeting of the Decatur Woman’s club held Monday evening at the Youth and Community Center. Miss Glennys Roop, vice president, opened the business period of the meeting. Mrs. Ferris Bower then read the secretary’s report which brought about the discussion Concerning the whereabouts of

the next year’s meetings. “Confusionism concerns itself with the immediate laws of man’s existence and the problem of die social order," stated Mrs. N. A. Bixler in the opening of her speech, presented to the group. Each month, one of the members discusses a major religion. The religion chosen this month by Mrs. Bixler was confusionism. After its completion. Miss Roop turned the meeting over to Mrs. Floyd Reed, general chairman of the Junior Arts division. Mrs. Reed gave full credit to the girls for the program that was to follow. and complimented them on the time and work they had spent in preparing for it. She in turn introduced Miss Judy Lane, who praised the sponsors of the Junior Arts division for their help in the past. Sponsors receiving credit were: Mrs. Reed, Mrs. William Gass. Mrs. Watson Maddox, and Mrs. Francis Howell. Throughout the program that followed. Miss Susan Custer, narrator, introduced the young ladies participating and fully described tiie costume each was wearing. Styles ranging from the Gay Nineties up and into the Sputnik age were presented by the models who, as the scenes would open, would be posed inside of a large wood picture frame and as Miss Custer would describe the costumes, would come to life. Very few. if any. could remember when fashionable young brides wore such wedding dresses as the one modeled by Miss Betsy Burk The antique lace dress would have been popular around Edwards Studio Authorised Dealer POLAROID CAMERAS & FILMS TEEN r The girl of his dreams is you in DREAM AGE* / Ww o When boys notice I \ your looks and \ \ carry your books V'j you’re at the Dream Age. \ These are dresses done feminine floaty or siren straight — especially for you.

■ the year 1882. ' Miss Kathy Cole and Miss Ka- ‘ thy Kohne. attired in matching bathing suits which covered them almost from head to toe, would have been considered respectful : and in the best of taste in the 90’s. The more demure young ladies’ fashions were modeled by the Misses Doreen Beery, Claudia Caston, Carolyn Drake, and Bun- ’ ny Schmidt. Memories raced back through Jthe years as the styles change and the tableaus became those of the “roaring 2O’s.“ That was the era when the flapper girl in her short chemise, rolled stockings, cloche hat and strands and strands of beads were so popular. Modeling in this picture were the Misses Emily Swearingen, Rosie Conrad, Ann Kocher, .and Bobbi Kalver. Poverty and distress showed in the fashions of the 30's. Dresses were becoming more simple as shown by the Misses Barbara Burk, Alice Allwein. Janice Voshell and Betty Smith. By 1940 suits and dresses were short and tailored. Mannish hats, padded shoulders and the ankle strap pump were all the rage. Bringing the. war years’ fashions to the group were the Misses Janalee Smith, Susan Gerber, Jane Stlverson, and Dolores Kohne. Using their imaginations, the ’ girls presented something differ--1 ent: their ideas on the chothes of tomorrow, modeled by Miss Judy Rhodes and Miss Bunny Schmidt. This tableau was followed by the grand finale. After several of the scenes, the girls sang and danced, using the dancing steps of that era. Background music was supplied by Mrs. Gass. Since no show can be produced without help behind the scenes, credit is given to Miss Karen Jeffries, responsible for the make--1 up: Miss Janalee Smith, music| and stage director;- Miss Connie J Bdxter. T props;- ahrf Miss Lane; i Miss Judy Smith and Miss Kathy ! Schultz, who sang several songs. A tea was held after the program for the mothers of the Junior Arts division members. FOUR BIG DAYS!
