Seems Fittin' Oh the joy of fitting time Well I just got my gown pinned and hemmed, this time by a home economics student. I'm all set. La-da-da-da. How innocent Miss Senior ap pears as she gaily enters the ele vator to approach the second floor for that big. important moment: fitting time nine inches that is. Confident, the senior walks to the outer sanctum of the Dean's office. She thinks: no fines to pay this will take me a minute. Following directions, all 120 pounds of Miss Senior daintily climb tbe sturdy little step-ladder placed conveniently near the fit ting table. Straight as a button she stands, like the statue of li- bertv at bay, for her gown, she thinks, is just right. 9 inches. The senior smiles and turns slightly to the right. 9 inches. The senior smiles broadly and turns again. 9 inches. The senior takes a deep breath. The senior should not have. 8/2 . The senior's smile disappears; suddenly she is horror-stricken. She no longer takes deep breaths. In fact she barely breathes at all, waiting and listening for tbe next announcement. 9 1/2 ... 9 1/4 . . . But I just had this pinned up in the home ec room. It should be perfect. 9y2 The numbers keep going up. 10 . . . 10 ... The senior no longer smiles. She no longer has joy or confidence in her heart. In fact she hates the cap and gown, the Dean's office, the wielder of the ruler, the home ec department. Are you sure? she manages to whisper. See. The tell-tale ruler is brought up to the senior's eyes, the hem overlapping at the 9y2 mark. The senior is now sad. What- to-do ..... It's supposed to be 9 inches from the floor. Bring it back to morrow And see if you can get it right this third time The senior walks out of the Dean's office, beaten. No longer is she a gay. light-hearted debu tante. Next time, I'll slouch.
