Fashion Power. Many a local mother is using the power of fashion to lure her spirited urchins away from their summer holiday back into the classroom. Appreciating mom's fashion psychology are fifth graders Cathy Taylor (left), the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Taylor of 1416 Kuehnle, and Kimberly Kovac, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Kovac of 2794 Colony. Cathy, a student at Abbot School, finds her swingy wool kilt in turquoise, brown and white a perfect match for her short-sleeved turquoise turtleneck. Kim prefers the Victorian look for her classes at St. Thomas School. A frilly ruffled collar and cuffs accent her apple-green cotton dress with white dots.

Turtleneck Lovers. Local seniors are off to class in a fashion classic - the turtleneck. Michelle Bertoni (left), the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard K. Bertoni of 1315 Newport, teams her dyed-to-match sweater with a sewn-down pleated skirt - they've regained popularity - in shades of brown, gold and yellow. Knee socks complete her school-girl look for classes at St. Thomas High School. A culotte jumper makes clothes sense for a busy gal like Barb Patton, who is vice president of Ann Arbor High's Student Council this year. Tweeds are taking fashion honors this fall, and Barb's choice has flecks of brown, orange, gold and white. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dubois L. Patton of 1621 Peach complements her jumper with a brown turtleneck. A turtleneck and levis combo is Kevin Olson's choice for senior school days at Ann Arbor High. The sweater is in shades of oatmeal and gold; the levis are in a gold plaid. Kevin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harlowe L. Olson of 2220 Yorktown.

Martin and Marcia Carr, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland Carr of 3065 Wolverine, agree that knits, corduroy and little people are great comrades. Marcia's gold corduroy A-line jumper, which spells first grade femininity, is paired with a white knit shirt which has an all-over pattern of gold and rust autumn leaves. Perfect for a nursery school session or a romp in the park is Martin's knit turtleneck of oatmeal, russet and brown plaid teamed with brown corduroy slacks. The Carr children attend Mary D.

Yet both agree that dropped waist dresses with pleated skirts are right for their action-packed moments at Forsythe Junior High School. Karen's cream-colored sweater blends with her wine-colored wool jumper which has a solid top and houndstooth checked skirt. Kim wears a wool flannel dress in white and grey with a camel self-belt - a color combination touted for fall.

Ann Arbor News, June 28, 1984
Caption
Last year John and Marj Roth of Sunnyside Street in Ann Arbor gave up the backyard battle of the clay, one with which many an area gardener is familiar, and one with which the Roths themselves were well acquainted after more than 40 years in Ann Arbor. Instead, they built four one-foot-high raised boxes, filled them with good loam, put stone pathways between the boxed and said goodbye forever to the hardships of clay gardening.
