Individiwl personalities are drawn out and then hidden again Within a locker Cocker doors slam shut, closing to the world the artistic talents of many LA students: students who, like everyone else, feel they must express themselves and take it out on their lockers. Today's lockers probably have seen better days; why, w'ho in 1930 would think of a locker as the storage place for tennis rackets and bermuda shorts? But however new this idea may be, it certainly didn't start this year. Stu dents have plastered locker doors with everything from Kennedy posters to skeletoned frogs in past years. The walls of lockers have been brightened with wrapping paper and Christmas cards. This year's moderates arc going out for postcards from all over the world or pictures of Dr. Kildare, Ben Casey, and other TV, movie, and recording stars. THIS LOCKER is meekly decorated in a conventional style. The door holds up sentimental keepsakes (much like pictures of Richard Chamberlain and Vince Edwards to other students). In- side the locker itself, everything is arranged so that only one skirt hangs out. SMILING SHEEPISHLY, Michelle Farrell exhibits her supermarket- type locker. If you want to know the latest in green beans or corn, just consult Michelle's display window. You never know what a thing like this can do for business. Maybe everyone will rush down to her friendly grocery store for that certain type of wheat germ. 26
