On Being Photographed EsTHER BAITZ, '26. 'ONIT people go to war , some peop e l people have teeth pulled out with I out an anaesthetic while still oth :Ll ers haxe their pictures taken. By - - -' pictures, I do not mean snapshots or time exposures, or any little three by four pa- per likeness produced with the aid of a small box- like contrivance that can easily be carried from place to place with your little finger. I mean real photographs taken by an honest-to-goodness photographer, and of such a size and clearness as to have a very forcible effect upon youg pic- tures, above all, which are to go into the Senior number of the school magazine, that number which is handed down to posterity. If you do not agree that the trial of having such a picture taken could reasonably be compared with the other ordeals mentioned above you may apply to any one of the three hundred and some Seniors who have recently gone through the harrowing experience. Her reports will readily convince you that I am not at all guilty of any charges of exaggeration. In fact, you will see that I might have gone even further in my analogy. llut I shall let the matter rest as it is and at- tempt to prove to you the truth of what I have already said. .....-. ....... A L , . - - 1 1 v - p gs. g l undergo serious operations, other ?1r::,'s ' f - i 1 i ' ' 7 The fun begins, as any good Vklesternite would put it, about two weeks before the day appointed for the taking! of your pictures. The first consideration is coiffure. If you would like to have your golden locks falling into soft rip- pling waves on your photograph, you must begin at this -early date to contemplate a f'marcel. Above all, the waves must look natural, and two weeks is a good amount of time to allow for their acquiring this effect. If you are letting your hair grow, and it has now reached what some poor un- fortunates who are affected with the unhappy condition term Hthe ugly length. you must now begin to spend twice as much time as usual before the mirror. It is necessary that you expend a great amount of energy in training your hair so that straggling ends will not come peeping forth from all directions on this occasion. 'iOh, I do hope I can make my hair look respectable by that time, is a familiar expression heard in hrst-floor cloak-rooms during these picture-tak- ing days, and everybody knows without any ex- planation that by that time, refers to the day when the distressed individual, responsible for the outburst, is being photographed. The next consideration is getting rid of all the skin blemishes 'that seem to have waited until this particular time to put in their appear- ance. Vvhat cries of woe issue forth from maidens whose lips are copiously bedecked with fever blisters. or whose cheeks harbor those monstrosities-pimplesl Now hot water, salves, and antiseptics are brought into play, and in some cases doctors are even consulted to remove the offending disfigurements. Then you must begin to decide what sort of an expression you will wear when your pic- ture is taken. Movie magazies, true story magazines, newspapers, new and old, are all carefully pored over for pictures of movie stars or famous beauties, whose expressions are interesting. lVith the favorite photograph in your hand. you stand before the mirror, and labor painfully to simulate that expression. liven after you have mastered it, your task is not yet ended. In fact it has only begun. For now comes the problem of molding your features into that expression by constant prac- tice. Not infrequently, during these weeks, do you glance around you and find yourself greet- ed by the angelic Dorothy Gish on one side, and by a dreamy look suspiciously reminiscent of May Murray, on the other side, or perhaps you will find yourself staring at a replica of the petulant, coquettish mouth of Colleen Moore. In short, scores of these zealously studied ex- pressions confront you from all directions. Perhaps by this time, you have only to wait a very few days before your pictures are finally taken. Oh, the agony of it! Isnlt that wave on the right side of your head coming out? Do you just imagine that you see that horrid old pimple returning? In spite of these torturing thoughts you manage to live on, and endure the suspense. Ofne method to make the hours less wearing is to study the pictures of those who have already gone through the ordeal, and to make comments on them. As one VVestern- ite wisely remarked, now is the season when 'catsi shine forth in all their 'catty' gloryf, 'fYes, honest, that picture is perfectly ador- able, but it doesnlt look the least bit like you. icvxfelly you do look like yourself here, but I don't think itls a very elegant picture. Oh, how darling, and how very, very flattering! Such are the gentle thrusts that are' sweetly and good-naturedly flung at friends and foes alike. 5 .st I.
