C Q X TEEN FASHIONS Attention, girls of Walt Whit- mani This concerns ou. As you must already know, tE?fashions of our school are Ufadsn which are copied out of the pages of HSeventeenU or any other teenage fashion magazine. Some of the fashions are exaggerated by our students and undoubtedly look strange to older persons who are accustomed to more conservative standards. Bulky sweaters of all textures have taken the lead as The Hshaggy sweatern, the Uheavy wool knitu, and the'thin Italian knitn are offshoots of this lat tax craze. Bright eye-catching col rs are most frequently used. The skirts, which remain short, come in all shapes and styles and . are worn by the Utwistin' setn. Coordinates which consist of a 1 skirt with a matching jacket or vest are popular. You can see them in the classrooms or corridors o Nalt Whitman, Ruffles now appe around the cuff and collars of he virl's blouses. the fashionable adolescent garbs. The inflated Hheatn hairstyle have gradually been deflated since last year when they first became popular. Now the girls are wear- ing variations Lteased, of course1L When the fashions and fads change, variety is brought into the teenagers' world of clothes at Walt Whitman. Susan Wiener N I 1 N jf .

TELEVISION IN OUR MODERN AGE Every day most Walt Whitman- ites come home from school and turn on American Bandstand, Many of us do our homework while watch- ing this program.and I'm sure we've all, at one time or anothen had some disagreements with our parents about this practice. This situation sounds familiar Jane came home from school one day, took out her homework, and turned on the television set. A few minutes later, her mother came in and told her to turn it off and not to put it on again until she had finished her home- work. She also began talking to Jane about the good and bad points of television. She told Jane that programs such as Dr. Kildare and Ben Casey which are on Thursday at 8:30 and Monday at 10:00 were excellent shows because they showed up-to-date medical pro- cedures and surgical methods. Jane agreed with her mother and added that she liked to watch the shows because the stars were nice-looking. Westerns such as Bonanza, Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel were all right to watch, but they were strictly for entertainment purposes. Jane said that she enjoyed watching College Bowl on which two teams from different colleges compete for grants. This pro- gram can be seen every Sunday at 5:30. She also thought Amer- ican Newsstand, which is on every day following American Bandstand, was very good because it gave the news of the day in simplified form. Jane told her mother that She liked detective programs such as 77 Sunset Strig, Surfside Six, and Hawaiian E e ecausxe they were a c ange rom violent de- tective story programs, and were still exciting enough to make them interesting. What started out as an argu- ment ended very happily for Jane and her mother because they both agreed on the type of programs Jane should watch. Carol Mintzer Caryn Nadler TV4
