ness late yesterday in the battle of
tho bath Waged in court over COM
munity showers for girls at the
Mark Keppel high school in Su-
burban Alhambra.
Joan Avaline Lawrence. 17-year-
old student of the school, is seeking
an injunction to provide only pri-
Vate showers and dressing rooms.
She objects to gang" showers in
the new school building on the
ground it is immoral and indecent
to dress and shower in front of other
young girls in her gymnasium class.
Joan'S objections to the showers.
described by her attorney as fos-
tered by her parents because she
was not allowed to expose her nude
body even to members of her FAM
lily, was branded by DR.. RoSanoff
today AS an unreasonable and false
inhibition.
Il should do everything short of
coercion to alter such state of
mind" he testified.
Such an attitude is apt to place
OveremphaSis on sex. It's Just as
obscene Tor girl to act that way
as to expose herself unduly on
public street with people around
her"
