IN COMPLETE REBELLION against the sorrows and hardships suffered during World War I, the wild flapper generation of the 20’s was openly feared as the end of civilization. Roaring around in Stutz Bearcats, and dancing the night away to the Charles- ton, their generation shared a great zeal for living as emphasized in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to the class of 1926 “You are more in love with life; you play with fire openly, where we did it in secret.” However, for as much as the 20’s youth valued the fun of life, the 30’s genera- tion was shown the darker side. As the Great Depression descended the gov- ernment tried desperately to keep as many students in colleges as possible in an attempt to relieve the endless demand for jobs. (A) 1930’s Corrective Gym class for all freshmen judged to suffer from poor posture. (B) “Hitting a few” on the sod tennis courts below Old Main. (C) The Charleston was the “Cats Pajamas” dur- ing the 20’s. (D) C-runs were popular even then?! (E) 1925 Sub-College Basketball Squad flex their biceps.

“TEEN-AGERS” — In the 1940’s and 50’s period, the youth gained a separate identity. After living and fighting through World War II and the Korean war, this generation could in no way compare with the protected innocents of the turn of the century. College became more purpose oriented as the serious war veteran studied through the aid of his G.I. bill. Cars and dances were still held dear to the young generation’s heart, however, as the Big Band Sound was drowned out by the beat of Rock and Roll. Fantasies in the 50’s began to emerge and the rebellion of the future was heard in the rumble of street gangs clothed in leather jackets and duck-tails. (A) “Juke Box Saturday Night” was a popular 40’s tune that explained the life style of the youth. Here two Sam students select their favorite song. (B) Saxo- hone Sound was the backbone of the 40’s Big Band Wisi A musically gifted Sam student gets into the “swing.” (C) Due to the war situation all male col- lege students were required to enroll in ROTC from 1952-65. (D) These dark-glasses group of greasers roam the streets beside their fearless leader “Killer”. (E) This honoree styled around in this flop-top T- bird. (Note the white-walls) (F) Bobby sox and sad- dle oxfords were “the most” in footgear.
