They made plans - a movie and a party followed by cruisin' Balboa. What, though, did they see on those dreaded Fridays? No matter where they looked, they saw swarms of guys and girls, holding hands, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, kissing, hugging, or drinking sodas from the same straw. The great evening. they had plannediwas ruined and each girl returned to her reverie of de- pression at the traumatic thought of being boyfriendless.

For Jane, the weekend was a di- saster. She had not had a date on Friday or Saturday. Her evening on Saturday was filled with geom- etry and world history home- work.
