History in the Making CWLUSTY stairways-dusty rays of light playing through dingy windows on time- stained walls, passages and corridors, crooked, bewildering - Old Bloom - a brief memory. Shining stairways, glistening windows, scattered rays of light reflected from chalk-white plaster walls, symmetric rows of lockers, lining long, straight corridors - New Bloom - a lasting memory. Boisterous gusts of frigid air, whirling fresh and startling through quickly opened doors, the ceaseless, lulling drone, inzfariable background of the daily lunch hour, the hot, tense air of the gym when there's a minute left to play g the floor glistening yellow -with red and black lines, cold, unstable bleachers with the gale from under- neath, and a muddy team out on the field, dark- ened classrooms and beating rain that blurs the window and distorts the landscape as if seen through sheets of ice. Pictures of life as we knew it. Experiences in self-government, in planning, in working, and im-any a self-learned lesson through class cooperation. Friendships formed with fellow students, and fruitful hours spent enjoying them, advice and inspiration gained from guidance of our teachers, with accomplish- ments and pleasures. All of these, and many others, both joys and sorrows, are the memories which we take with us. This -was life as we lined it.
