many monThs or The girl you walked To class buT never QOT The courage To ask for a daTe . . . ThaT wild, wonderful feeling when one of our backs goT The ball and ran for a Touchdown while The crowd lumped To Their feeT and screamed and looked aT each oTher grinning happily . . . The downhearTed way The Team walked off The field when we had losT . . . The noisy, happy pep rallies . . . The good days and bad. Around us in The ciTy people wenT To work in offices and in consTrucTion crews and gas sTaTions and oil com- panies, and someTimes we could hardly waiT To finish school and geT ouT inTo The world. There were Times when algebra seemed unbearably dull and Julius Caesar and MacbeTh bored us and we wanTed To sTarT living life insTead of iusT reading abouT iT. BUT There were oTher Times when Things were going well for us and life seemed good, and we wouldn'T Trade a minuTe of iT now. All The crushed hopes and wild hopeless dreams and Those mo- menTs of crisis fade inTo The happy, brighTly-colored, noisy memory of school life. The sad pleasant sound of The luke- box mingles wiTh The swirl of faces and places and nighTs and days and you are a capTive of memories.
