lavaliere

this was kinda new in '54 and I never heard the word lavaliere
until about '56. It was given as kinda "goin' steady." Then the
pin, "engaged to be engaged" which prompted a serenade to the
girl and her sorority. Then the engagement ring.
On some campuses some daring fraters purchased several of those greek-letter drops and it was said, on some places, this
would result in a pipe laying evening...oh, well, you guys are so
much more sophisticated that us old clumsy alums...
