Nation's Best High School Grads Now Can Win Presidential Honors Two graduating seniors, a i girl and a boy, from each state I of the Union, from each of the II U.S. territories, and 15 stu- 1 dents at large, now have an I opportunityevery year hence - | forth, to achieve a unique distinction that has quickly be- ! come recognized as the highest 'to be awarded youth by the I nation. They may be designated "Presidential Scholars" as 121 were for the first time early •this past summer. The honor was set up earlier : this year by President Lyndon IB.

It Isn't 'In' to Be 'Way Out,' Say High School Boys in Style Survey It isn't "in" to be "way out." That's the conclusion evident from a nationwide survey of high school boys' fashion preferences, conducted by Scholastic Magazines and the Boys' Apparel and Accessories Manj Ufacturers' Association. I The survey, which polled 294 I selected leaders from 107 high | schools, reveals that high ; schoolers favor the well- | groomed look achieved by a j somewhat conservative style of [dress. The Ivy suit in traditional three-button style; trousers in moderately tapered style, with belt loops and even cuffs; and shirts with authentic button-down collar were preferred by more than 50 percent of responders. A well-considered approach to dressing was also reflected in write-in comments about sport shirt selection. "If it doesn't fit right, it doesn't look right"; "I must think what I will wear it for" were typical comments. 1 GLADSTONE'S GIRLS • Pants *249 - $498 • SI $|99 _ 99 • Shirts • Blouses' $100 - $2" • Sox 25c & up • Sweaters 2"-$8" far 59 Belts c up c - $100 Briefs 39c & up m s $1 99 $ K 99 Gym Trunks $100 • Skirts $1"&uP * "Levi" Whites * "Wrangler" Jeans * "Esquire" Sox * Stretch Slax * Ski Jackets * Coats • •• Campus" Slax • Shirts = S' if * "New Era" Blouses * "Paddle &Sa e Sportswear * Hosiery * Accessories * Shoes GLADSTONE'S 1219 N.
