School Interest . . . Most of us Seniors all seem to be very anxious to graduate. If we would stop and think that our school days are the most happy ones of our lives, we would not be so anxious. It is true that the school work may seem like drudgery some- times, but it is not all work. We all meet a lot of fine friends. After other Seniors have graduated, you will almost always hear them say that they wish that they were in school again or that they had studied more to get the full benefit out of their course. We don't know how fortunate we are to be able to go to school and get a good education which will help us in our future occupation. Why don't we Seniors keep that in mind and set good examples for all the other students? CYNTHIA TAYLon ,54 - Red Gown . . . ' It was red and beautiful and it was simply made for her. It was the loveliest gown. One out of her dreams, but . . . And then that lump came up in her throat again. Why, why, why couldn't her mother understand. Bud would be ashamed of her in that sweet-looking thing. He'd never ask her out again after such a dull evening with such a drab mouse. Yes, this blue dress was the proper one, sweet, demure and very feminine looking. She threw herself across the bed and reviewed the happenings of the past two weeks. Bud was a senior, president of his class, grand in sports, popular and most of all, a nice guy. Until last month he had been all tied up with Janice Whiting, the most popular girl in school. Then the night of the student council dance they had had an argument and broke up. After the news got around every girl had her eye on Bud, and repentant Janice. Then she'd never forget that Thursday. It was two weeks ago yesterday. I-le caught up with her in the corridor and they talked about the geometry assignment. He sat behind her in geometry and she guessed it was pretty tough for him. She'd helped him a few times during study 62 halls but had never thought anything of it. Then . . . I suppose you're going to the Prom. No, l'm not. She hated to admit it but what else could she do? Do you suppose . well, would you go with me? Would she? Boy, I guess! Somehow she stammered 'out that she would love to. Bud Franklin had really asked her - her, Dolly Brooks - to the Prom! She thought she'd burst with happiness. That Saturday she'd dragged -her mother all over town to find the right gown. Then, in Grover's, she'd found it. Red and bouffant and beautiful. Her mother had condescended to let her try it on. lt really doesn't look your type, Dolly. You're only sixteen, you know, and besides it's not at all practical. . After all the arguments her mdther won out. She had to be satisfied with a pale blue, frothy sweet-looking gown. But the memory of that red dress had spoiled everything. The other evening when Bud had asked what color her gown was she had avoided a direct answer and said she guessed white flowers would look best with it. And now - now it was seven o'clock and the Prom began at eight. She should be overjoyed but she wished she could die. She hated that blue gown and her mother and everything. lt's seven o'clock, dear. Don't you think you'd better get dressed, her mother's voice came up the stairs. Quarter of eight and there she was all ready. She didn't think she quite looked like Dolly. She was glad she had let her honey-blonde hair grow. It was down to her shoulders. Those darned freckles on her nose almost didn't show. The door-bell! Suddenly an icy glacier of fright enveloped her. She could hear her father re- marking about the nice weather and Bud's plea- sant comments. Somehow she made it down the stairs and greeted him. Her father coughed embarrassedly and she could read admiration and pride in his eyes. Mother beamed all over. As Bud helped her with her coat she wondered, Maybe I do look okay. Bud seemed in a good mood and they talked all the way to the school. He had his father's car for the evening. Dolly silently prayed that he'd

be proud of her and trust everything would be all right. After leaving her 5 coat and adjusting her cor- sage, Dolly rejoined Bud. As they entered the gaily decorated gym it hit her right between the eyes. janice Whiting in her dress. Her red gown. As they started to dance, Bud commented, Did you see janice? Boy, is she attracting at- tention. I think that dress is a little too much, clon't you?', Yes, yes, it was horrible. Bizarre, gaudy, cheap-looking . . . and everything was wonder- ful . . . the whole world, the dance, Bud, her parents, and the blue gown. 1 DIANE PERKINS Senior Alphabet . . .
