Editorial - Fashion Parade - As I stand in the hall of old C. H. S., I watch quite a fashion parade go by. Here come two senior girls with dresses nearly to their ankles, but after all, they are in style. Ballerina skirts are still taking first place in popularity this year. Also short-sleeved sweaters are back again and they look nice.
