Time magazine also published a high school yearbook salutation（称呼，问候） to classmate Kelli Allman, the girlfriend of a pal1: "You are extremely sweet and foxy, I don't know why Greg would want to spend any time with me at all! You really deserve better than clowns like us; you even laugh at my jokes!"
 
Also from Time magazine:
 
"Tucked away in someone else's shoe box of adolescent artifacts, there might be a picture of you in garish2（炫耀的） clothes and with an outdated3 'do, your arm around a high school squeeze.
 
"The President of the United States is no different. These previously4 unpublished photos, obtained exclusively by TIME from Obama's schoolmate Kelli Allman (née McCormack), show a 17-year-old Barack Obama on the night of his senior prom.
 
"Barry spent in his days at the Punahou School in Hawaii studying, shooting hoops5 and goofing6 off with his friends. Greg Orme, a fellow varsity basketball player, was Obama's constant companion. 'They were like brothers,' says Allman.
 
"On prom night, the pair double-dated. Obama and his date Megan Hughes, a student at the Hawaii School for Girls at La Pietra, joined Orme at Allman's house, where the two couples sipped7 champagne8 before going to the dance and then an after-party. 'It was a really fun, happy time. We were all cracking up, and everyone was smiling,' says Allman. 'It was pretty typical from there out as far as what happens at prom: the dinner and the dancing and the photos.'
 
"Millions of American teenagers will go to proms this year. Their photos are more likely to be stored on Facebook than in a shoe box. But it's fun to imagine that in one of those pictures, there's a girl in a pastel dress or a lanky9 guy in a white sport coat who will end up becoming the leader of the free world."
