Journal.
Also, she married and became the
mother of two children. Through
it all, she has kept her career
focused on teen-agerS. Recently re-
turned from Europe, she currently
is writing book on the European
teen-ager.
Has the American boy and girl
changed much since the '3OS in
which the plot of Seventeenth
Summer" is laid?
Not much, she believes. They're
more materially privileged, and so
more sophisticated, but they have
exactly the same set of emotional
problems"
AS teen-ager, she recalls, she
had her own emotional crises.
Her early writing was spurred on,
she says, mot by ambition but by
inhibition 1 was known as
complete drip. I just didn't date

dances, no one dancing with me-"

Fifteen years after the book was
published, she still receives steady
stream of letters, most of them ask
ing, what happened to the boy

Often she is told what would take
place in the sequel she never wrote:
1.-THE boy and girl get married"
"It's that kind of book. Teen
ayers get personally involved with
the characters. Girls write me about
the boy they're dating and ask for
advice" the 35-year-Old author ex-
planned in telephone interview.
And so the novel remains a part
of the daily life of the beautiful
writer as she keeps up with her
practice of answering every letter.

e. And yet never again would
there be anything quite as wonder
full as that seventeenth summer"
Recognize those lines? Probably
not, if you're an adult. Possibly, if
you're a teen-age boy. Almost GER
tainly, if you're teen-age girl.
They end a remarkable book
called Seventeenth Summer"
novel more sought after by teen
ayers than Hemingway, Kitchener or
Wouk.
For IA years it has topped the
popularity list at the District Public
Library'S young adult department.,
according to Miss Helen Haverty,
supervisor. Likewise, it has domi-
mated the waiting list at many
school libraries.
The novel was written in 1912 by
Maureen Daily, then a 21-year-old
college student, on a Dodd, Meade
intercollegiate Literary Fellowship.
A Love Story
Since 1912, the book has sold up
wards of 100000 copies in 35 print
ingS. In addition, it has been re-
printed in seven languages.
It still sells steadily-as result,
its author says, of "word of mouth
advertising, principally by teen-age
girls.
For Seventeenth Summer" is a
love story-about Angie, girl in
blue denim Slacks with a headful of
dreams, and Jack, the high school
basketball star who wants "to know
about beautiful things-to be Gull
tured."
Through the haze of small town
summer, Angie and Jack discover a
new world together: Pete's Place, the
prototype of the small town chang
out" cottage parties, sailboating by
moonlight and the thrill of the first
"dressed-up" date.
And, of course, there are the tele-
phone calls, the ones received and
the ones waited for. The joys and
perils of "going steady" are explored
The first kiss, the first spat and
the first farewell-the big events of
a teen-age romance unfold as sum-
mer moves relentlessly on to the
chill of autumn.

While praisins the use OF the

Mr.. and Mrs. Nixon had been

home and then abroad, that re-
spect for conscience and the dig

rock of fraternal solidarity un.

In this connection, he called
