THE TOOT 23 tion with circles under their eyes to prove they had a wonderful time? seniors had seniority rights? ZifF didn’t play “Stardust”? anyone came to band practice? Byron Hill, Fred Stokes and Sidney Wilson weren’t bashful? the juniors put on their very successful dance? we came into these inner sanctums of learn- ing that fateful day in 1944? we didn’t have to have a pail in study hall every time it rained? Bill Barott sounded off in band with a fire- cracker ? Joyce got a telephone call at the library? bulges in hip pockets and straight hair were symbolic of the water pistol warfare? Larry Toole disrupted the set of SPOOKS AND SPASMS by knocking oyer an au- thentic reproduction of an antique lamp? we had a SWING BAND of our own? ZifF, Slippery and Cappy extolled the virtues of democracy at Boy’s State? we’re not here, how much we think of you. —SHIRLEY FARNAM POPULARITY CONTEST BOY GIRL Most Popular . . .Warren Stanton Joyce Taylor Most Likely to Succeed . . . .
