BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES Senior masterminds, appcarinq someu hat less than inspired, at work on the writeups. ON I he following 21 pages the reader will find affixed to the name of each graduate I he title of a play, a hook, or a song. Some of the titles are obvious, some are less so. Some will make sense only to the people to whom they are affixed—the rest may not make sense at all. I herefore don t be alarmed if a few of these anologies are unintelligible, the odds are that the people who wrote them (pictured at left) don t understand them either. T he depraved geniuses, who are responsible for the following section, have also concocted a prophecy for the long suffering Class of 48. I hese zany forecasts originated from a crystal hall which evidently became rather densely clouded now and then. I he staff urges you to look at this section 50 years from now (it should be funny then, anyway) and remember the best years of our lives. JUDITH B ABRAMS Jud, Life is a tfream . . . French Club 3.
