The Theme -744 sam We ww. The lines, Boots, boots, boots, marchin' up and down again, were written by Rud- yard Kipling to describe the eternal marching of British regulars in India, but they might, just as Well, apply to our own eternal march- ing here at Allegany. Everywhere, busy feet are on the move- the hurried and uncertain scamper of the sev- enth graders, the calm purposeful strides of upper-classmen-feet covered with shoes-the battered loafers, the sports, trim saddles, and dainty slippers-on the athletic field and in the gymnasium, the flying feet of a speedy trackman, the digging spikes of a burly line- man, rubber shod feet, pounding down the floor, leaping for a basket. How many thousands of feet have trod on Allegany's marble floors? How many thous- ands more will follow? Feet that tread her halls now may one day be braced against the roll of a destroyer, may feel their way cau- tiously through the rubble of a bombed city, or manipulate the rudder pedals of a deadly fighter, but wherever Alco's sons and daugh- ters may roam, whatever the conditions, we feel sure that they shall never forget the hap- py miles that they have walked through Alco's halls. The Staff of the 1952 Allegewi feels that nothing is more representative of American school life than- The Shoes We Wear.
