ENCORE The other night I had a dream. I was sitting in the Gvander auditorium all by myself, decked out in lull Senior regalia. Greai orange-and-black letters on the closed curtain spelled STYLE SHOW. On each side of the curtain, at the very edge of the shage, sat the Senior Celebrit ies, waiting. The curtain parted. Before me was the exact replica of the auditorium in which I was seated, crowded wivh children flaunting various elementary school gradua- tion pins marked ' 43. The scene changed. There were the youngsters again, proudly displaying their G.O. pins. You were Forced to use a microscope to see the pins that term. The saddle-shoed freshies obviously envied the black clad seniors. That was the year the potato sack sweater was in vogue. It was quite chic for a size nine ciirl to come to school in a size forty-two sweater. Boys also dressed a trifle oddly. Their trousers looked like long sleeved blouses with a chain hung on them. The fellows were modest, though, and de;nurely covered their l nees with long yel- low and purple plaid jackets. Remember the zoot-suit? Bow ties were the rage, especially the kind that, tucked under the jacket, would serve also as shoulder padding. So this scene came to a close. The Evander curtain parted again, and before me, my sophomore year unfolded. The children had grown! Fiendi ' :h chiders of freshies now, they wore loafers, minus heels, in place of the formerly loved saddle shoes. The high pompadour of the freshmen girls was replaced by the Flat top, the hair-do named for the Dick Tracy character. Girls carried the first issue of the Teen-aqs bible well concealed, for the teachers collected copies of Seven- teen instead of comic books. With a mighty wail for Frank Sinatra, (who nearly visited our school), the cur- tain rang down on our sophomore year.
