Be True to Your School
This diary by the author of Good Morning, Merry Sunshine may top that bestseller, for Greene's re-creation of what he considers America's last innocent year, 1964, possesses nostalgia's magic. He records his life as a high school student in Bexley, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. With his close male friends, he thrilled to the music and style of the Beatles and balked at orders to "get a haircut!"; he mourned from January through December over a girl he continued to love even after she dumped him; sometimes he and his pals drank too much and played tricks "I'm not proud of." He recalls an era when it was hard to persuade a girl to "go all the way" and other youthful experiences that make up a poignant, funny, charming memoir.
