degrees above zero but a radical fervor and a glow of accomplishment supply the necessary warmth to his grinning face. He’s got a gimmick, he’s doing something different and he’s sure that others think he’s really quite clever. This boy is an individual, in that few have tried to install. J. Ravenscourt in public office. Conversely, he is very run-of-the-mill in that ah boys his age love to produce a really spectacular stunt. This is the art of being different, and ah teenagers heartily subscribe to it. This does not imply that youth enjoys being out of style, but rather it adores setting the style. Fads thrive on this ideology; once conceived, they are adopted by everyone. However, as soon as the new fad becomes uni¬ form, another starts and the former is deserted. This conformist attitude is not just manifest in choice of clothing, but rather in thought, word and deed all fall under the stencil. Teenagers de¬ siring to be a popular member of the “in group” must live according to its dictates. They look the same, like the same music, appreciate the same automobiles, enjoy the same food and in general, assume the role of “Mr. Stereotype.” Of course, there are exceptions to the island masses. The leader of the pack must be constantly changing and setting the styles to remain at the top. He owns the fastest car, the fastest girl and status of being number one. There is a second little class of people who, for one reason or an¬ other, “don’t rate.” The obese beings, the pro¬ found stupidheads, and the extremely clever, booky types are the “rejects”. Either by choice or conviction this group retains its singularity. Group number three is the class of those most likely to succeed. These are the winners in the adult life. They are the true individuals simply because they follow their beliefs and live according to no code but their own. It takes courage to break away from the conformists, winning only jeers and derision in the place of respect and commendation. So goes the story; the weak conform while the wild and willful go against the current. The teen¬ ager is the conformist. It is the young man that is the individual. —Bob McCaskill Form V Upper 71
