THE MESSENGER: “Ask What to Do, How to Act”
What to do, where to go, how much to spend, and how to act, are all common questions of teenagers. Both boys and girls have gripes concerning their dates, but at the same time, they have solutions to offer.
BOYS
Eric Knorr, ’60, feels that a girl should be able to carry on an intelligent conversation. “That doesn’t mean chatter all the time though,” he commented
Dave Unruh, ’60, agreed with Eric, and added, “She shouldn’t talk about boys, either.”
Jim Hamilton, ’60, stated ” A girl should have some ideas about where to go when definite plans haven’t been made instead of saying, ‘I don’t care.'”
Dick Carlock, ’60, feels that a girl should act like she’s having fun even if she’s not.
David Robinson, ’60, mused “I wish girls wouldn’t order so much to eat. It’s hard on the pocketbook.”
GIRLS
Janice Collins, ’60, likes a boy who is polite and courteous. “I can’t stand a boy who hasn’t any manners!” she stated.
Helen Olson, ’60, wondered “Why can’t boys call at a decent hour?” She feels that before ten o’clock on school nights is a reasonable time.
Joyce Stevens, ’60, commented, “A boy should stay with his date the whole evening instead of running around and showing off like some boys I know.”
JoAnne Pritchard, ’60, suggested, “I wish boys wouldn’t threaten girls with those squishy, gooey worms. They scare me to death!”
