Students Ask, “What’s It All About?” Esther Chappel and Pat Harlow don the new mod hairdo. 1967 was a stupendous year for creative youtl in all phases of life from fads to books, art, actors, music, and movies. Granny glasses added to the mod mode of long hair and mini-skirts, while plaid, paisley, and patchwork pants were in” for the male sect. Op art and kinetic sculpture were increasingly popular. John Barth’s Gile’s Goat-Boy and the Princetonian Guide to Where the Girls Are were absolute musts for any well read teenager. In the television spotlight the maniacal, mischief-mak- ing Monkees replaced Batman, that famous Gotham City bachelor. Cockney Micheal Caine proved to be a bigger box-office attraction than cool, collected Sean Connery. Flint nosed out 007 in the super spy movies. The Bible and Dr. Zhivago were the more serious movies with an attraction for the young; and Alfie, a film on the harsh, hard facts of life caused many young people to ask themselves the question, What’s it all about?” 9

Vivacious Students Enliven Stage 67 Vim, vigor, and vitality characterized the vivacious TD students in the scenes of stage ’67.” The throbbing pulse of Knight life was set to the twang of guitars, while beach-shuffling teens provided active scenery. Never before were dances so alive, pep rallies so spirited, and classes so unique and interesting. Sunny lunches on the patio and games of leapfrog in the court yard boasted of TD’s architectural practical- ity, while a bomb scare and false fire alarms demon- strated the Knights’ playful individuality. Such was the drama of 1967 — a drama justly described by only one word — ACTION. 1 1
