The Hap- py Days of the 50 ' s with kids rockin ' around the clock and hanging out at Ar- nold ' s has been replaced by getting into rock concerts and hitting the main joints. Jitterbugging has taken a back seat to boogieing down to the hustle with some bump action added. Malts are a thing of the past, with a coke essential while making the rounds. Bobby socks, crew cuts, and pony tails are completely out of today ' s take it easy jean scene, but the big thing is still CRUI- SIN. You gonna be in town to- night? Heck yeah, it ' s a Fri- day.
