Here's the Low-down

Hey, gals, do you know what
is wrong with you? Listen to
this:

are always busy-bodies, they
never mind their own business.
Everything is wrong with
girls!" (He's a woman hater)
and "they blab all the time.
They ought to keep quiet once
in a while, and they get stories
and dates all turned around"
But, of course, men aren't per-
feet. Check this:
Boys who are real conceited

to do is show off; why can't they
act natural?" "They like to
show they're superior by teasing
you in front of other boys" And
Boys are the most inconsiderate
people there are!" Wow!
Besides these gripes, boys and
girls still have an affinity for one
another. All six boys like girls
who are anywhere from feet 3
inches to feet 7 inches. They
go for any color of hair. though
one boy said, You can't beat a
real true redhead, with blue
green eyes," One boy COM
mented, "Of course, shape has a
lot to do with it," The favorite
colors boys like on girls are in
this order of preference: Black,
red, blue and white. They all
agreed that the babe of their
dreams must have a great per-
sonality and have good looks.

inches to over 6 feet. Their pref
erence for builds varied from the
slender basketball player to the
husky football fiend. But he's
simply got to have neat build!"
The standard uniform they all
adored was a boy with light gray
f1annelS, either a maroon or baby
blue sweater over a white shirt,
and the bucks are optional. One
gal disagreed and said she liked
the herman in Lewis and sports
shirts and worn-out moccasins.

General Opinions
On 'Dutino'

Here are the opinions on the
date itself. The general place to
go on a date is the movies
(mostly in D. c.; no one ever
goes dutch unless they have been
going steady for a long time and
need help financially; no demon
stration of public affection is ap-
proved by all 10 exception:
holding hands,. The average
amount of money spent on a girl
a week averages from SO to $40.
though one boy said, II spend
just as much on a girl I'm going
steady with as one I'm not. !"
Well, dig that crazy kid!
What about the first kiss? The
boys declared in unison: "As
soon as possible!" The girls
used a little more discretion: 1T
all depends on how well you
know the boy; real we'll, the first
kiss on the first date, otherwise
Nor
And parking? (Another word
for necking after all. you
must get all details on the sub
jectD II don't think you'll find
one boy who is against parking.
Why, If you don't make-out the
first date you never will" Hey,
boy, slow down, please!
Surprisingly enough, most Of
the girls don't like to park, I'M
less they are reasonably sure of
their date and know him we'll.
Il forgot to ask the girl who had
been in love twice what she
thought about parking. That
would have been rare.) To say
the least, about the most.
But how can teenagers break
up with their boy and girl
friends so fast. and change to
new flames all the time?" ask
the ancient adults.
Easy, here are the replies:
''You get tired of each other"
"You realize it was all a big mis-
take and you don't get along to-
gether," and Heck, you just
found yourself a prettier grill"
There you go. Any questions?
