THE KENCOLL 1951 Page 25 Roving Reporter MARG VICKEY ANN JOAN GORD LEON KIRK RON SPENCER PIZAR GIBSON STOREY MOIR PAROIAN WEBER HOOVER HAIR WE ARE AGAIN” In a survey made by yaur roving reporter, bath boys and girls have very decided views on how the opposite sex should do their hair. The fallowing are some of the more outspoken. Ann Gibson, o fourth former, was the first one to be approoched on the subject. Ann prefers the boogie- cut to oil hoir-cuts but she says, “I hate the long wolf-cut thot all the sa-called ‘sharpies’ wear.” She thinks that when the boys get their hair cut that it should not look os though they hove literally “had their ears lowered.” Also she soys, ‘‘A boy looks os though he’s stroining to grow taller when he has a cow lick that stands straight up. A boy ought to be oble to do something without it looking greasy.” Even first formers hove ideas on the subject of hair¬ cuts. I am speaking of Leon Poroian of 9C. Leon soid thot he thought the hair styles of Kennedy girls were varied greatly. One he didn’t like especially was the one with the long hair in the back and the small catty-looking bangs in the front.” Leon likes bobbed hair thot most of the girls wear, but he says that some ruin their appearance by trying to be too fancy. On the whole though, Kennedy girls haven’t disappointed Leon a bit. Margaret Spencer, a swimmer and forum member isn’t hard ta please at all. She likes “a good plain hair-cut with a medium cut in the back.” Marg defin¬ itely dislikes the wolf cut and says “no sir” to boogie- cuts. Also she thinks that brush-cuts with curly hair are very smart. Gordon Moir, one of aur star basket-ball players, had quite a lat to say about girls’ hair-dos, but it mostly pertained to the colour. Gord says “When I see black, aronge, brawn, and blonde hair drooping over the head, I begin to wander what girls are think¬ ing about if they care haw they look. Then there is the more skillful ‘chick’ who bleaches her hair grad¬ ually. When it is finished it looks beautiful—except for one thing—the roots are black. A girl like this supplies much laughter for boys’ conversations. You can’t win either way girls; so loy off that bottle.” Vickie Pizar, another basketball star, plus track, made a very profound statement and this is it. In my opinion, a trim, well-kept brush-cut is the most proc- tical and suitable hair-cut for teenage boys. It always looks neat and it gives a fellow a clean-cut appear¬ ance. On the other hand a hair-cut which sports long, stroggly, side-burns which curl neatly over the unfor¬ tunate collor, gives the wearer a most unbecoming ap¬ pearance. Generally speaking, simplicity ought to be the key-ward to a fellow’s hair-cut!” When I opproached Kirk Weber, one of Kennedy’s all-round othletes, on the subject of girls hair-cuts, he looked rather pained and grumbled “I don’t know anything about that sort of thing.” But Kirk actually did hove some very definite ideas ond her they are: I like a girl’s hair short. It makes o girl look neat and trim. Shoulder length hair is alright, if it doesn’t get too shaggy. If it gets ony longer, the girl will have trouble keeping it out of her soup!” Joan Storey is a very busy girl in fifth form. Her octivities are too numerous to mention. Joon says Why must boys get these wolf and boogie-cuts? It gives me the impression that they are trying to become bald before their time. Thot will come soon enough, no use starting now. I know hair-cuts are expensive, but why must some boys insist on wearing long ringlets down their necks. Just because long hair is the style for girls, it is definitely not for boys. However, most of the boys in our school seem to have good sense about how their hair should look. Let’s hope they keep it up!” Our last authority on the question was Ron Hoover who made a very simple, important remark. Having toured the halls of K. C. I., I. have concluded that some of the fair, young things brightening our dim passage-ways have sadly neglected their greatest virtue. This can be easily remedied with a ten-cent comb.” I think Ron’s statement sums up the report. The comb is THE THING! MARY BELL THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER Outside my daor the waves are splashing Outside my window, the lightning’s flashing Above my roof the thunder’s crashing But I am safe inside. I would not leave this house of mine For costliest gem or rarest wine Or largest ships with sails so fine Oh! I am safe inside. Maureen Larmour, 10C
