I’m always amazed when I look at old yearbooks at how “old” the students are. I get the same feeling when I look at these pictures. In about half of the pictures the girls look a lot older than 12-13. But then, surprisingly, in the other half the girls remind me of the fresh-faced, giggly Beehive girls of today.

Looking at these photos with my daughters earlier today, I wanted to convey to them a sense of their heritage in the Church. I was so grateful for the long history of faithful Saints who have preceded us. And all that came out was, “See, girls? You belong to a very old church!”

The magnitude of the seagulls in the photos is incomparable with those sketches, Ardis. It is like when they were making them they thought, “You know, this could use a life size seagull.” And voila!

There’s a sketch of a somewhat later version of the headband in my Bandlo article which may be clearer than these photos, which show much larger seagull ornaments than the later sketch. These seem large enough to protect the girls from real seagulls overhead — is that what you meant by “brilliant,” J.?

Seagull headband = brilliant.
