Quite suddenly the American@
student finds himself under the
microscope. All eyes are focus
ed on him as his aptitudes and
attitudes, his aims and abilities,
and his appearance are eXamin- Il
ed more fully and more thought y
fully then ever before. &
The reasons? Suffice it to say
thai the future of democracy
will be settled in the classroom,
which prompts the question: -
"Is American youth ready to ac-
cept the challenger"
Youth Ready, Willing and Able
American youth is not only
ready but willing and able, for
we'll before this general re-exa-
mination began, the students of
America were already involved
in some valuable seH-examina-
ton. This self examination pro-
vides convincing proof that the
nations teen ayers understand
democracy and are learning to
administer it from first = hand
experience.
From coast to coast many
young men and young women
are taking the lead in preparing
themselves for the role they
must play.
For example, students in a
Southwest town, after testing a
six day school week as part of
an accelerated curriculum re-
ported they wanted to continue
it because 1t helped them with
their studies.
In the Northeast, a county
school administrator sent up
trial balloon regarding 30-day
extension of the school term. A
howl was expected. Instead, stu
dents voiced approval and en-
thusiasm.
Seek Faculty Help
And in Port Richmond II G h
School, Staten Island, N W
York, a group of boys decided
that they had had enough of the
sloppy look and the disappearing
glances from their elders that
greeted them whenever their ap-

pearance pegged them as
"wrong-o's".
Realizing that they needed
school support for their ideas
they asked faculty member, Will
lie D. Freeman, to be their spon-
sor. He agreed and took the case
to the school principal, James V.
Tague, who was fully in sympa-
thy with their ideas.
And thus, a new club was
born. The boys called themselV-
es the Beau Brummels." Their
purpose was to show the impor-
tance of neat and appropriate
dress.
A few weeks later, the BeauX
were joined by the Bellies -
group of girls who also wanted
to break with the beat look"
in favor of a meat look"
Now Set Example
Once a week the beaux and
Bellies set an example for the
other students by showing up for
classes in their Sunday best"
The rest of the week the empha-
sis is on neatness and appro-
priateness.
Do the Beaux and Bellies feel
their experiment has worked?
They certainly do. AS one Belle
put it, When kids dress slop-
PLY, it somehow shows in their
work and the way they act. We
found our work was better and
neater when we looked the
part"
One of the BeauX was even
more to the point, stating: Its
all a state of mind. An undisci-
plined appearance is p t y
sure bet to mean undisciplined
behavior. We didn't want any
part of either"
The findings of the school ad-
ministration b a k up these
views. A teacher who h a s
watched the development of the
Beaux and Bellies since the be-
ginning says:
1T hey have contributed so
much to the tone of the school.
We've never had single case

of Juvenile delinquency associa-
ted with the group. But the real
ly significant thing about the
Beaux and Bellies is that it was
all their own idea.
They're running the whole
show with minimum of advice
from the faculty. This is i'm
portant because, they obviously
realize they're just a step or two
away from adulthood and its re-
sponsibilities, and they want to
dress the part; and they are
convincing other youngsters of
the validity of this idea in the
most democratic Way-through
a student-inspired and student
regulated program"

choosing the appropriate togs

faceted life, in and out of the
classroom. Wearing the proper
attire on every occasion can
add immeasurably to a lads
confidence and self-assurance.
Favored for classroom wear
are flannel or covert slacks with

neat chino slacks with light

suitable for laboratory or shop

For dress-up occasions, such

For going back and forth to

formal wear, top coat is the
thing, while a raincoat for wet

The suggestions were re-

THE WAY 1T worked out,
neither Of them paid much
attention to it. But this
announcement was so i'm
portant that it was arrived
at behind closed doors. So
the newspapermen spent a
week interviewing one an

to do that because they hear
a lot Of good stories that
they don't have to. write.
But despite the emergency
and the crisis, the indus
trialists, on the way back,
showed that they could keep
up with newspapermen in
the matter of relaxing. The
president of a major steel
company, the owner of a
machine tool company, a
baking powder manufacturer
and several other captains of
industry spent the night
