5 50th YEAR REUNION - SVHS CLASS OF 1937 A Different World, But in Many Ways the Best of Times (Author Unknown) School reunions can be a competitive sport. At early reunions, classmates compete with each other about jobs and incomes; at the 25th, it's spouses and children. After that, they brag about their grandchildren and vacation homes while regarding, with envy or glee, classmates' waistlines, hairlines, wrinklelines. It is said there are Three Ages of Women: youth, middle-age, and haven't changed." But change is the name of the game. Consider: Graduates of the Class of '37 were before the pill and the population explosion which, inexplicably, went hand in hand so to speak. We were before television. Before penicillin, polio shots, antibiotics and frisbees. Before frozen foods, nylon, dacron, Xerox, Kinsey. We were before radar, fluorescent lights, credit cards and ballpoint pens. For us, time-sharing meant togetherness, not computers; a chip meant a piece of wood; hardware meant hardware and software wasn't a word. Female students were forbidden to wear slacks. We were before pantyhose and drip-dry clothes. Before ice makers and dishwashers, clothes dryers, freezers and electric blankets. Before Hawaii and Alaska became states. Before men wore long hair and earrings and women wore tuxedos. We were before Leonard Bernstein, yogurt, Ann Landers, plastics, hair dryers, the 40-hour week and the minimum wage. We got married first and then lived together. How quaint can you be? In our time, closets were for clothes, not for coming out of, and a book about two young women living together in Europe could be called, "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay." In those days bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not Volkswagens. We were before Grandma Moses and Frank Sinatra and cup-sizing for bras. We wore Peter Pan collars and thought a deep cleavage was something butchers did. We were before Batman, Grapes of Wrath, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Stuart Little and Snoopy, Before DDT and vitamin pills, vodka (in the U.S.), and the white wine craze, disposable diapers, Jeeps, the Jefferson Memorial and the Jefferson nickel. When we were in school, pizzas, Cheerios, frozen orange juice, instant coffee and McDonald's were unheard of. We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent. We were before Curious George, Citizen Kane and Chiquita Banana. Before FM radio, tape recorders, electric typewriters, word processors, Muzak, electronic music, disco dancing and that's not all bad.

6 In our day cigarette smoking was fashionable, grass was mowed, Coke was something you drank and pot was something you cooked in. We were before day-care centers, house-husbands, babysitters and computer dating. In 1937 American schools were not desegregated; blacks were not allowed to play in the major leagues; and the D.A.R. (Daughters of the American Revolution) would not allow Marian Anderson to sing in Constitution Hall. In 1937 "Made in Japan" meant junk; and the term "making out" referred to how you did on an exam. In our time there were 5 and 10 cent stores where you could buy things for 5 and 10 cents. For one nickel you could make a phone call, or buy a Coke, or buy enough stamps to mail one letter and two postcards. You could buy a new Chevy coupe for $650, but who could afford that in in 1937? Nobody. A pity, too, because gas was less than 30 cents a gallon. If anyone in those days had asked us to explain CIA, Ms, NATO, UFO, NFL, SATs, JFK, BMW, ERA or lud we would have said alphabet soup. We were not before the difference between the sexes was discovered, but we were before sex change. We just made do with what we had. And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a husband to have a baby. (Submitted by Lillian Gardner Despain)

The first 25 years were spent raising our family and working to make a living. In 1961 Blaine'8 horseman's talent took us on many adventurous trips. We raced Thoroughbred horses on major race tracks in the East and Mideast. We learned how the very rich lived and saw how the very poor struggled to exist. In 1974 Blaine had a heart attack and retired from racing. We came back to our beautiful Rocky Mountains our family and friends and the green, green grass and peace and quiet of Star Valley. Since 1974 we spend our winters in Phoenix, Ariz, and our summers at home in Thayne, Wyo. My birthday twin is Marjorie Burton Evans. We were born on March 25, Count your garden by the flowers. Never by leaves that fall. Count your days by golden hours. Don't remember clouds at all. Count your nights by stars, Not shadows. Count your live by smiles, Not tears. And with joy on every birthday Count your age by friends. Not years. 12

14 IN SUMMING UP THE LAST FIFTY YEARS HAVE YOU NOTICED? Everything is farther away now than it used to be. It is twice as far to the corner, and they've added a hill. I've given up running for the bus; it leaves faster than it used to. It seems to me they are making steps steeper than in the old days. Have you noticed the smaller print they use in the newspaper? There is no sense asking anyone to read aloud; everyone speaks in such a low voice that I can hardly hear them. The material in clothes is getting so skimpy, especially around the waist and hips. Even people are changing. They are so much younger than they used to be when I was their age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she had aged so much she didn't recognize me! I got to thinking about the poor thing while I was combing my hair this morning, and in so doing, I glanced at my reflection and, confound it, they don't even make good mirrors like they used to.
