46 At midnight they return, and retire for the evening. , Two-thirty arrives and Daughter returns h mw from her date, but like most young couples they sit for awhile before she goes in!!! People certainly have changed, both in fashion and manner and I have given you, in my discussion, only one of the examples of how times change. Yet it is only natural for it to be different, for even then in the '2O's is a great comparison of life to that of the l800's. Most likely our future descendents will look back at today!s life and declare emphatically how old fashioned and out moded we were. Then, a young man will call upon his girl in a pea-green space suit and riding in a bright purple rocket ship. The girl will emerge fr m a fantastic creation of glass and off they will go to visit Mars or some such planet. Yes! Times really do change! Each night I labour long and late, To have my homework done. I just can't seem to find the time To have a little fun. I get to bed at ten oFclock And talk until eleven. I only close m eyes in sleep When I hear the bell at seven. I think itwould be a good idea To take a holidayt Forget my teachers and my books Perhaps for just a day. by Pat Evans XI In Orangeville High School you will see In both the students and facultyg Examples of the following three: Friendship, Fellowship, Fraternity.

45 - How Times Changgj - I A by Peggy James XI ' How often do we hear that phrase and yet do we realize its importance and meaning? Times do change, and even the people of today have changed greatly, say in the last thirty years or so. Let our thoughts go back to the late F2O's. A young and gay Wsheiku dressed in the com on coonskin coat of that time, red sweater and navy blue longs is on his merry way to call upon his WShebaW. He is recklessly driving a crimson-red hotrod along a quiet suburban street. At the front gate he honks the horn loudly, till at last a pretty, young flapper emerges from the tall, majestic house beyond. She is dressed just as gaudily as he, in a light green dress that just barely reaches her knees, a rust-coloured coat, and rust cap that fits tightly to her bobbed hair. Also, she is wearing turned down silk hose and high heel- ed shoes. Into the car she hops and they are roaring off to a silent movie of Charlie Chaplin, and the WMystery of the Diamond NecklaceU., At the movie house other couples can be seen dressed similarly and all in a gay young mood. , But what of the family at home? What are they like? Well, let us take a closer look and see for ourselves. h Mother, in a dress that comes just below her knees, a pair of slightly lower-heeled shoes and cotton hose, is busily clearing away the supper dishes. Father, wearing a dull blue pinestripe suit and waiste coat, a starched white shirt and a knitted black silk tie is trying to recline comfortably on a hard backed settee and to read the daily paper. When the last dish is put away, Mother comes into the living room and sits in a chair, where she immediately begins to darn a pair' of woollen socks. They settle themselves for a quiet evening at home, and wait for their daughter to return by ten o!clock. Now let us return to the year 952. A sleek, blue convertible stops quietly at the front of a low, ranch-styled house. Out steps a young man in a black velvet sports jacket, light blue strides and with his hair in a brush cut. He rings the chimes on the front door and is admitted into the house. In about fifteen to twenty minutes a girl, dressed in red corduroy suit, white nylon blouse, nylons and ballerina shoes descends the stairs. She says goodbye, and leaves with her boy friend to see a show WThe Stratton Storyn and then go to a dance, At home Mother in a navy silk dress, nylons and high heels is clearing away the dishes and puts them into the dish washer. In the spacious living room Father, in a pair of grey flannels, red plaid sports shirt and no tie is reclining comfortably in his easy chair, reading the daily paper. His feet are resting lazily on a hassock. When the dishes are done, Mother goes into the bedroom where she dons a light green sports skirt and blouse. Together she and father leave the house to spend a pleasant evening at the bowling alley.
