Here’s the early bird. He’s late for practice because he was kept in for being late for class. In his haste he stuffed his father’s best polka dot shorts in his gym bag because he couldn’t find his gym trunks. The scholastic dodo is always equip- ped for school. Friends wonder where he gets all those books. The girls call him a square, but he says their hyper-criticism leaver him unaffected. The girl athlete doesn’t like boys, at least most of them. She claims she could whip anyone of them in football. She thinks girls should have a wrestling team. Meet our most popular boy, the girls voted him the best dressed senior. He played football. Here, you see him sporting his new $42 tweed coat. His freshly pressed gaberdines are rolled up so the boys can see his $3 argyies. No, he hasn’t just failed his phys- ics exam, he’s just in love. Our lovesick boy has a crush on a cute varsity cheerleader. He tells her he's a typical American boy but she won’t date him. He’s just different, she says. Last, but not least is the wisecrack artist Here you see him laughing at his own joke. He gets a big charge out of making girls giggle at him, but he doesn't understand why he isn’t so popular.
