life: Ah, young love… Ask ten people what their high school years were like, and you’ll probably get two answers, split right down the middle: Best years of my life, five will say. Worst years of my life, five others will vow. In celebration of graduation season, LIFE revisits photos from a 1941 essay documenting a high school graduation — shot by one of LIFE’s great photographers, Alfred Eisenstaedt.
