Cass Technical High School - Triangle Yearbook (Detroit, MI)

Page 5 text:

E are the youth reared in a chaotic -violent-turbulent-and excit- ing time. We are the bobby sox- -the loafer and saddle shoe set-the Sinatra-lites-the Como-lites-the iive addicts-the madcap-the dizzy-the eager-the lovable-and sometimes- the serious. We are the plait-plaid- loud shirt-blue jean-the trench coat crowd-the rolled pants-the brush cuts -the front row stage show fans-the steady going set-the adolescent- young-devil-may-care! We rush to the y music stores for Stan Kenton-Nellie Lutcher -Andrew's Sisters - Too Fat Polka. We see good movies. We go to our school football games-splash parties-dances-concerts-lectures-yell ourselves hoarse at basketball games-discuss anything which is controversial -and much which is not. We read the best sellers-sing the popular songs- work part time. We borrow-not only money-but everything that is movable -. We gossip, tight-romance. We cram tor Ec. tests-pour over Chem. equa- tions-work until 4:30 on posters-get out the school paper-worry about dead- lines for the yearbook-stay to iron out bacteriology. We make the honor roll occasionally-buzz over every new scandal-wonder who our next president will be-we grow up for the better-and for the worse. We saw the new look in long skirts-frilly petticoats-hooded coats-Gibson girl blouses. We live at a pretty fast tempo-iive-kid-invent new slang-wear it out. We argue U.M.T.-hear rumors of a third war-wonder about our future-see-hear- and notice everything. WE ARE THE YOUTH OF TODAY.
