Is Like? (Above) Calumet ' s Most Typical Teenagers , Pam Bunt and Elmer Farquart, pause during a spare mo- ment to be photographed. Jim Valentine combines his average one hour and six min- utes of study time with his nightly three hours of listening to the radio. He is also polishing off one of 7.3 bottles of pop per week. This year the 64 Chieftain conducted a survey to determine what the average C.H.S. teen-ager is like. Here, in words and pictures, is the average girl: she ' s 5 ' 4 inches tall and weighs 111.7 pounds. She likes the color blue, English class, pizza, swim- ming, the Beatles , WLS, Mr. Pavlik, and Outer Lim- its. This brown-eyed brown-haired lass gets up at 6:37 each morning, has 3.5 dates per month, has attended 5.3 basketball games and 2.9 football games, and two and a half shows a month. You II usually find her with about $1.39 and 46.3 pictures in her wallet. How does she spend her evenings. She listens to the radio for 3 hours and 37 minutes, studies 1 hour and 16 minutes, and spends another hour and 7 minutes on the phone before hitting the sack where she sleeps for 7 hours and 20 min- utes. If you are 5 ' 8 inches tall, weigh 135.5, have 1.8 brothers and 1.6 sisters, and brown hair and brown eyes, you ' re the average C.H.S. boy.
