THE FUTU-FIIIISH Now that all of you have viewed these finished fotos -yes, these shin- ing faces that you'll be proud to recognize in the future . . . with smiles and profiles just right . . . in the best of best . . . not a curl or eyebrow out of place-how would you like to have a glimpse of how we suffered and finally survived the worries, the heartaches, and the agonies of picture taking? When you've finished clearing up a few necessary preliminaries fexam- ple: 4Oc to division representativel, you settle down to wait. Finally, one bright day as you stand in line in the crowded lunchroom, being pushed from side to side and at the same time trying to balance a heavy tray, a yellow slip is thrust into your hand. Now you have an appointment with the pho- tographer! l! ' Nothing but gossip and chatter about price, size, amount, etc., etc., can be heard from now onin every corner of Kelvyn Park, in the division room, lunchroom, washroom, history class, and even in the middle of an important waist slimming exercise in the gym. Everybody, from the popular, best dressed, most attractive girl in school to plain Suzy in her simple school girl frock and quiet manners, enters into long and serious discussions about proper clothing, coloring, hair styles, poses, etc. At home you hear many suggestions from every member of the family, from older sister who recently acquired a glamour shot that now rests on the top of the piano, to your little kid brother who is willing to offer the best advice from memories of his first in the nude photo when he was two months old. A side view is best, hair must be simple, wear that: a smile like this will surely erase the circles around your eyes which tell the story of nights spent burning midnight oil from the stacks of homework. Even grandma adds her tintype view when many years ago she too watched the birdie. Then comes the night before the important event. Talk about panic, nothing can compare to what goes on now. Hours are spent in a muddle of preparing, parading, and posing in front of a mirror. A slight armistice comes when sleep overtakes you, but that doesn't mean you're free from nightmares. The next step is to brave the trip, all alone, through the hustle and bustle of downtown. With face scrubbed too clean and in Sunday best you feel the heat rush to your face. Must everyone stare at you? You hope that no one recognizes you. After glancing again at the address, you become bewildered, wondering if you'll ever find this place. You're lost! You hunt for a policeman, but as you turn around there is the building staring you directly in the face. With added courage after a ten minute search for the elevator, you ascend into the stratosphere to be deposited in front of the photographers office. Here tucked away under a glass canopy especially constructed for sub- dued light is where this Mighty Monarch . . . The Photographer . . . holds forth. Looking down upon you are the hundreds of handsome faces in the pic- tures on the walls, which give you a sudden embarrassed and inferior feeling. Finally HE enters and HIS commanding voice directs you to a room marked Caps and Gowns. You try many on for each one makes you look worse than the last, although you know they are all the same. Then suddenly you find an intelligent looking person staring at you in the mirror. It's funny what this outfit will do to you. At last you are in front of the camera . . . only to be handled by this commanding individual as if you were a dummy ina store window. Too much make-up . . . take it off, put your chin up, sit more to the right, shoulders back, right there, light so, now steady. Tired with these commands you find a chance to relax, without, however, losing the same silly grin. Hold that, thunders HIS voice and you snap back into position. Then . . . Click! Coupon please? Kelvyn Park High, oh yes, fine school!! Must be a fine student. You stand up . . . flushed . . . excited . . . weak in the knees . . . but relieved . . . it's all over. And the results? Well you've just seen them!! Claire Fecura
