 One of the girls The Kennedy female . . . soft, charming, and a delight to look at. But all that doesn't come easily. Her attempt at perfection begins with a perfumed bubble bath and continues as she makes her lashes luscious. But it's up to her hair to make the look complete. When she approaches her closet each day, it's with the idea of impressing him — that boy for her that's lurking out there somewhere. At school, she's the picture of coordination from her blazers to scarves to jewelry as she knows that the grubby look is out. This impression collapses at 2:35 when she changes into clashing combinations of whatever is clean that day. At the game she is a study in contrasts as she tries to look casual but not too casual. . . her rumpled jeans retain a careful crease. Simplicity and innocence in clothes and expression give her the wholesome look Father cherishes at church. All this is but a prelude for Prom when the best of what she has and what she knows combine to give her the kind of look that makes him proud. 23

One of the boys The Kennedy male . . . trying to be one of the boys as he works to make his impression the right impression. He begins with a shave, as beards are out (reason: only 1 out of 9 senior boys has anything to shave anyway). His hair is fluffed and styled by his blow comb to make him look neat, but not too neat. On to his clothes. What he wears depends on where he's going, as there's an outfit for every occasion. For school, there's the studied casual look, with Levi's buffing the floors. After school, the uniform fits the season as everything changes except the smelly socks. Later, in the stands, his bare toes peek out of holey Adidas while the rest of him huddles under his eternal jeans, hooded sweatshirt, and letterjacket. Sunday is the day to please Mother. He lowers himself to wear the sweater she bought him. Mothers have questionable taste. Then comes Homecoming. . . the one and only time that it all comes to together. . . from gleaming shoes to his only pair of pants that aren't Levi's, from his tailored coat to his father's tie, to the special smile he reserves only for her. 22

Sadie Hawkins: the only chance a girl gets to grab her guy Once a year the girls prove that if they ran the world, things would lx different. Take dances for instance. Give girls a chance to ask the guys, and they'll prove that they can pack a dance, as shown at the Kolleens' Sadie Hawkins night when couples in Dogpatch out fits danced to the music of Brandi Wyne. Later, they moved over to visit Marryin' Sam where in this woman's world it cost a mere quarter to snare a man. PAGE 24 — Top left: lauric Brose and Ann Beckslrom demonstrate their dancing abilities.
