SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 12 -FRIDAY, AUGUST 25,1*78 Jewelry adds a touch of class to your classroom, coordinates Smart students are choos­ ing fashions that take them back to school with class, and jewelry is a definite part of that trend, reports the Jewelry Industry Council. Girls today favor the fine jewelry look of thin gold chains, delicate bracelets and dainty pins. But these subtle accents are being used in imaginative new ways to add eye appeal to classic blazers and sweaters. The popular stickpin will be going back to school in lit­ erally dozens of new styles. But it's only one of many eye-catching decorations for lapels, ascots and cowl necklines. Some of the sharpest dress­ ers on campus will be wear­ ing scatter pins--clever little groupings of bees, butterflies and other popular fauna and flora in everything from gold and precious stones to col­ orful ceramics You can also win fashion points with gold or silver pins like men's tie tacs, worn two or three at a time. "Hobby" pins such as mu­ sical clefs and tennis rac­ quets also rate an "A" from the back-to-school crowd. You can make your own monogram with a grouping of letter pins. Chains are still going strong, but the big news is that they're also going long. The newest ones stretch to 40. 50. and even 60 inches. What can you do with one of these new super-chains? In a word: everything! Wind it around your neck, wrap it around your waist, drape it like a bib, or just let it all hang out. Any way you wear it, this type of chain goes a long way toward meet­ ing your need for a really ver­ satile piece of jewelry. Another versatile item (is fashion's newest eye catcher, the lariat. Whether it's tipped with tas&els. beads or rhinestone-studded ar­ rows, this open-ended ver­ sion of the chain can be fas­ tened high or low, to suit your neckline or your mood. Bracelets stack up as one of the biggest fashion stories on campus. An armful of skinny square bangles is the latest look for the coed who knows all the fashion angles. For the girl who prefers the charm of old-fashioned jewelry, there's the antique look of cameo pins and pen­ dants. And the girl who likes a dash of color in her jewelry is really going to have a field day. Coral, carnelian, jade and o t h e r p r e c i o u s s t o n e s brighten gold and silver pins, pendants and chains. Fash­ ion jewelry glows with jewel tones of red, green and blue. Rhinestones also add their g l a m o u r t o t h e c a m p u s s c e n e . Y o u ' l l s e e t h e m s p r i n k l e d o n c h a i n s , GO THE IN STYLE!

That back-to-school essen­ tial, the watch, also takes on a f i n e j e w e l r y l o o k , i n timepieces that have sleek, slim cases, classic Roman numerals and elegant chain or bangle bracelets. Class rings, as much a part of the school scene as pencils and books, also show slim­ mer. more elegant lines. Of­ ten, they're available with distinctive styling details, such as the wearer s initials or date of graduation on the ring. Like other fine jewelry fa­ vored by youthful students of fashion, today's class rings really have class! cessful school district9 Dr. Dorothy S. Strickland, the president of the Interna­ tional Reading Association, and a professor at Kean Col­ lege in New Jersey, thinks there is. "A successful district is one in which fiscal resources are predominantly invested i n p e r s o n n e l r a t h e r t h a n facilities, per se. "Successful schools have acceptable pupil-teacher ratios, teacher aides to assist in individualized instruction, and often a reading specialist or program coordinator," she claims. The most important factor that marks a superior pro­ gram, Dr. Strickland be­ lieves, is enthusiasm. Dr. Strickland is optimistic about the future and progress of reading improvement and quotes Oscar Wilde by say­ ing, "a map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth glancing at, for it leaves out the one country on which humanity is always landing .... Progress is the realization of Utopias." WJ - LENDING A HELPING HAND. . .
