These dignified students about to go out into a se rious world on their own, turned the clock back several years to those carefree days of childhood. In short dresses and pants, hair in pigtails and some barefoot, they strolled the halls clutching their dolls and taking one last lick off their all-day suckers before enter ing the class room. Boys forgot they had girl friends as they tried to run them down with bicycles or pulled the girl’s treasured teddy bear from her arms. The girls in turn forgot they had gone from pigtails to perfume as they slapped sooundly any member of the opposite sex who tugged their ringlets. Of course, this was all done in fun and by the end of the day, the group had slipped quietly back in to their old habits and liking each other and not ininiding who knew as the boys carried their favorite girl’s books and the girls no longer jumped to the defense of their dear old doll..
