Senior Year, Clara Matynka 1946-1947: Yearbook

Here are the last things in the Clara Matynka stack.
The dinner-dance items on the right we save for the next post.
For now, we look at the senior-year yearbook.

In 1947, the UN was considered by many
as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
They thought it would stop wars
and help children!

The gender ratio in Clara's class was abnormal.
Some of the boys had left high school to enlist
and did not return to the same class;
some did not return at all.

The Fine Arts major we kind of knew about;
the Riding Club is news, and Mom's not in any of their photos;
the interior decorating she stayed with,
taking her homemaking skills very seriously,
as we shall see when we get to those papers.

"Included in every liberal education is art, 
for art is deeply ingrained in the culture of every society."
(We are in deep trouble in 2014. - JZ)
"At Kensington, Miss Davis and Mr. Zabo
familiarize students with the artistic traditions
of many nations."

Mom's on the right, and not glamorous
like the ones arranging their lower limbs
front and center.
Well!  She got her revenge!
Stay tuned.
