Sept. '46 June '47 Sept. '47 June '48 Another year, and you felt the confidence and self-assurance that naturally come to one who is in his third year of high school. . .leans were the thing: everyone was wearing them. Ianie danced to the sentimental strains of To Each His Own in her dungarees, loud plaid shirt, heavy athletic socks, and moccasins. Iohnny clashed beautifully by wearing a cherry red fire- man's shirt with accessories from the army surplus store.. .Things looked casual and gay in spite of the older generation's admonition that the young people were going to the dogs . . .You clung hopefully to sweet songs like I'll Get By while Open The Door, Richard wailed like a cracked record through the air. . .This was also the year the United Nations came into the headlines, and everyone, even the blase juniors, became conscious of its importance in the building of a peaceful and happy world. And then, at last, it came! This was the year!! As a stalwart senior you were doing well by passing the lower classmen with but negligible glances. . . The new length came into vogue and although you griped about it for a while, you soon became one of its staunchest advocates. Following this drastic drop in styles came the peplum, drape, capped sleeves, ballerina skirts, and several other major changes for the better or worse. Iohnny, sensing the front he had to keep up, looked like the well dressed man of 1948. Hand- painted ties, side burns, and red shoes became his pride and joy. Ianie had her hair cut, and tried to walk gracefully in valencia colored platform shoes ...At last Frankie Laine attracted the popular music circles, and Rose Murphy caused quite a stir among music-lovers. . .The avid listeners of the Hit Parade found Four Leaf Clover and Near You on the top for in- numerable weeks. . .It was during these months that everyone went around imploring friend and enemy alike to drop dead : usually the intended vic- tims would offer the brilliant reply, drop dead twice. . . .Then came the glitter and swirl of graduation preparations. . .the rings. . .prom committees . . .class elections, all of which meant that soon you would be leaving Kelvyn. You weren't quite sure whether you liked the idea so much now that you were confronted with it. As the year drew to a close, you found yourself looking more longingly at all the familiar faces and landmarks within your school. The little things that had once seemed so insignificant now took on a different meaning.. .And then, when at last it came time to march down that great aisle on that most momentous of evenings, you were filled with a mixed feeling of sadness and gratitude. There was another feeling, too. . .one way back in your mind, and you couldn't quite put your finger on it. . .maybe it was one of anticipation.. . or of awareness. . .or of gratification. And to the sincere Congratulations of parents and teachers you replied, meaning every word of it, Thank you.. .thank you very much for four wonderful years! IEAN WOODRUFF CAROL BRENNER PAGE NINETEEN
