Daffy D0z'72'5 0fErf and C0 Due to the fact that little space has been devoted to the finer and more educa- tional features of our high school careers, we feel that due respect must ,be paid to those unappreciated arts. Fr' instance - 'lake these dignified jalopies which, on two wheels, skirt our Alma Mater. Red, green, black, and blue, - on and on they rattle, those vari-colored monstrosi- ties. These inexcusable vehicles provide transportation between and among those jivin' joints, Grotto, Haupt's, and Johnson's, where hamburgers and slushes reign supreme. A brave soul who dares to venture into that seething mass of humanity and slashes his way to the nickelodeon is rewarded with the sweet strains of Beer Barrel Polka. A rear view of the stoogents ganged around the music box shows a red and gray jacket with a familiar thumbs downv in- signia on the back, a snowy white Bonte jacket with a Kick me hard sign pinned on the back, a Tri-L garment, and several beer jackets with the entire schoolls auto- graphs on the back. Between classes, the gang used to meet in front of the library. Mr. Pritchard walked up to join us one day. We welcomed him, thinking perhaps he had a new pun or a lead on the history test. But he only informed us that our daily conventions, held there, would have to stop. So we just stopped at lockers between classes. Maybe a piece of candy or a glimpse of Clark Gable pasted on the inside of our lockers awaited us there. Remember when the girls were wearing knee socks, sloppy joe sweaters, and revers- ible coats? They usually had a ribbon in their hair. If the ribbon was red, the in- nocent girl was accused of looking for a fella . Amid many shy blushes and giggles, the ribbon was removed, and then put back on when the offender left. Have you forgotten the tea dances? The high lights of these may be summed up by saying that they were hot, crowded, a lot of fun, and that they cost ten cents. They Erzff were usually held on Wednesday afternoons from 4 to 6. Frank Corbi provided most of the music, and the kids most of the noise. And, too, there were those hectic days while someone Qwe never could decide whol tested our public address system. At one chapel we sat, alert, heads cocked forward, listening to those too-faint sounds of enter- tainment. At the next chapel program we plugged our ears with our fingers, because some string ensemble was playing a harp Cor was it ten ?J a little louder than we pre- ferred to hear it. But, at last, even this came out all right, and the Board of Educa- tion bought our P. A. system. Were you a monitor? Remember, they were the kids who sat in the halls in specified posts and checked the passes of all passers. They also checked your locker every period. If they found it not properly locked, they put a neat, polite note saying Please keep your locker locked inside your books, and then carried said books to the office. There you called for them, got a pass to admit you to classes late, took your books back to your locker, and really locked it. Or did you? Stunt chapels were one of the most amusing features of school life. This chapel was held by the Hi-Y clubs, and it was an annual affair. After try-outs, and the less worthwhile stunts were eliminated, the re- maining ten were sure to be good. Who can forget t'Joe, the janitor, whose favorite joke was to tell an unsuspect- ing student to keep his eyes open ? When eagerly asked why, he answered with a twin- kle in his eye, So you can see. No doubt there lingers in your memory tand perhaps in your hairb the sweet frag- rances that floated from the chemistry lab when they broiled sulphur, or whatever they did. At last we realize that there is much more to school than just grades and study- ing. At the time we were too busy being burdened to realize it, but as the years push each other along, we will value, more and more, every memory we can call back. 21
