The Wheels On The Bus

Hononegah68-008

Did you spend hours on a school bus each dreadful morning and liberated afternoon with friendly-faced drivers such as these? Or were your drivers a little touched in the head? Did your buddies shoot spitballs at the back of said heads?

Recognize these faces? Surely they wouldn’t cause any trouble.

No rebellious nature in these well-behaved young men.

The 1941 students appear much more welcoming. All aboard!

Oops! Caught them mid-embrace!

Buses allowed downtime to chill with your pals.

Perhaps you were on a sports team and took a chartered bus. I can’t say as I ever did that.

And after all these years, they keep rolling.

Montgomery Clift Double Vision

Methinks these high school twins could pass for young Clift body doubles, especially the one in the bolo tie. For those not familiar with Clift, he was a Method actor in the 1950s and 60s, starring in films such as The Misfits with Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, in their last screen roles. Clift himself would die five years after the movie’s release.

Despite the aquiline nose and caterpillar eyebrows, Clift was a good-looking man. Too pretty, in fact. If the charms of the luscious Liz Taylor couldn’t challenge his sexuality, I guess no one could.
