9 DJ and she didn't get home until uwayw after two. And the Senior lioatride was really extra special. A whole gang of them had missed the boat because they just had to have a last 'fhot dogf' But they didn't have to walk home. They got on a boat chartered by another school and it was fun defending their school against a whole boat- load of 'cenemyv students. And, of course, the Senior Prom was the ending of a perfect Senior Year. It was the most wonderful prom ever and everyone had had a wonderful time because no one got home before dawn. Yes, they were all wonderful, their high school years-just wonderfully perfect. She suddenly felt cold and came back to the present with a start. They were standing under a lamp- post and there was a fine mist coming down now. She looked up at Bill and followed his glance up at the lamp-post. g'Remember, Bill, our Senior pin was a lamp-post and it looked just like thisf, 'fThat's what I was doing just now, remembering. I thought to myself, why did you want to come back here after ten years in Cali- fornia, a place you have come to love? And do you know what the answer was? It was because we had such a good life here. We did all the things school kids are supposed to do and we enjoyed our- selves. I thought of the wonderful times we had here in this high school. And l thought of that first article I wrote about 'teen-age deliquency, of how deeply I felt on the subject. And suddenly I knew what was wrong with my writing. I was trying to put into words things that I knew very little about. You have to write about things you know and believe in or it's no good. Now that I know what was wrong. lim going back to Hollywood and write the best darn script the studio has ever had. Come on let's go home. And this time I mean our real homegCalifornia.', Julie smiled and as they walking up the street she turned around. The high school was dark except for a few lights-janitors toiling through the night. Through the mist she could see the tower and the hands of the clock pointing to nine. In just twelve hours, students would be leaving prefect to start classes for the day. She thought, we had fun then. but we can have just as much fun now. Oh, it's alright to look back but looking forward is even better. PATRICIA FLYNN i' - 'TL 5 j YV X

RE IN ISCENCES The lights on the shore were hardly visible through the thick fog. Julie walked close to Bill and wished they hadn't come. It was a penetrating fog and she was chilled to the bone. The bleakness and dreariness of the shore depressed her and she thought again how 9 o foolish they had been to come all the way from California just to see a school building and Walk along a street. There were times when she didn7t understand Bill's actions and this was one of them. ll Up until a few months ago, Julie and Bill had been very happy iil in California and Bill's writing had been extremely successful. He if' had been in great demand at all the studios in Hollywood since the I day he wrote that story about juvenile delinquency among 'teen- N if, 'IN agers. But now it was different. Everything that Bill had submit- niiql ted to the studios for months now had been rejected. Not timely, E too common, not what we want at the moment-had been red pen- .bil ciled across the top of each one and returned. And Bill had grown more and more dejected, but he didnit stop writing. It was just a temporary phase, he said, it would pass, every writer went through in I periods like this. But the day his pet story was returned, the one he had been working on for months, he stopped writing. He was 4 I through, he said, he just didn't have the stuff to be a writer, his .I ideas had gone stale. And he was through with California. He was ji going home. Home where they had grown up and gone to school and had the best times of their lives. They wouldn't bother to sell g the house or furniture, they would just go and then they could l always come back. After ten years in California he wanted to go Q home. Julie didn,t understand why, but she couldn't talk him out of it. 6 Yet Julie should have understood Bill. They had been married x for ten years now, ever since they had been graduated from high school. From their freshmen days they had gone together. As they walked along the murky street Julie remembered the time they had gone to the Varsity Show when they were ufreshiesf' It had been called 'LWhat a Life! And would she ever forget the Fifth Anniversary Show when the teachers had really let their hair down? How they had laughed at and enjoyed the part their Grade Adviser had played! The Junior Prom had been her first formal dance K Ci e C QQLKQ ef
