At Long Last Man Realizes Graduation Picture Was OK By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK TO-One of the recurrent ordeals of civilization is having one's picture taken. The. tribal savage often dreads a camera for fear this magic box by.imprisoning his image will also capture his soul. The civilized man has an even more melancholy the camera 'neither, will catch his likeness nor reflect his soul. He feels the camera always lies when it's pointed at hi'-.

One of the major differences between men and women in the 20th century 4s their attitude toward having their picture taken. Hopes Protest as For Miracle much as she may that "I know this will turn out awful," the woman secretly is sure that actually, by some miracle of modern chemistry, the photographer will manage to make her look all right. She ac tually enjoys the experience. The man; on the other hand, goes to the photographer as he does to the guillotine. He knows neither art nor science can save him.

Probably it is in the childhood when, during the taking of a snapshot, some family onlooker calls acetiously: "Be careful. Your face may the camera." Disillusioned A man's deep disillusionment with the camera, however, comes after he sees his first real portrait the yearbook when he graduates from high school. never quite recovers from this blow. "Not bad," the fam- ly murmurs sympathetically.

Not bad? Are they crazy? Is this the way you really look to others? Are your ears really that big? Is your face really that anthropoid, half-adenoid? He won't mind his wedding pictures so much, no matter how they turn out, because a man honestly expects to look somewhat ridiculous on his wedding day. Nor will he compla'in much against passport pictures, as women do. Tries To Hide After 40, a man will go to the photographer only under family duress or group pressure. When the official picture is taken at the annual office banquet, he tries to bury his face in the fried chicken, or hide behind the man in front of him. When he is, at times, forced to make the galling trip to a photographic studio he is prepared for the worst.

AH his life he has jeered at John Barrymore because the actor preferred to have his picture from an angle'that showed his favored profile. Now he envies Barrymore. After all, Barrymore was lucky to have one side that looked better than the other. He wasn't "dismally bad from all angles. When the portrait is finally delivered and unwrapped, he knows what the family will say: "Not bad." Good By Comparison After they have gone to bed, he ills and looks at the picture all Elizabeth Alumni Reunion Is Set For November 30 graduates of Elizabeth High School will hold their 1957 annual alumni reunion at the school Saturday, Nov.

Not bad? Are they crazy? Is he really that fat? What did the camera do to rob him of so much hair? He tiptoes to the bookshelf, gets out his old high school annual, opens it to his youthful picture. "Hmmm, not bad," he murmurs. "By golly, I had a good strong face as a kid. But they had decent photographers then." As he goes to bed, however, he will realize, if honest, that 25 years from now the new pic ture he just had made will look pretty good to hhn, too. Everything is better 25 years later.
