Show 'Twixt Us Teens by Tlbby Tucker "It's an ill wind that blows no good" ... so goeth the saying. But I, Tibby, wish you all the happiest hap-piest of windy Marches and sug-guest sug-guest that we teens decide to be pleasant spring breezes and not ill winds. Haven't you noticed how unpleasant un-pleasant it is to be around a hot-winded, hot-winded, flustery person who has nothing good to say about anybody any-body or anything. Really, it's a grim experience and only the hard of hearing should have to listen to such rantings. Some teens don't think what the consequences of such behavior are. They figure that by tearing another person apart, they make themselves look better. But we know better, hm, friends? There are others who think they'll make a teenscence more fun by criticizing criticiz-ing current activity. But how do they figure? When were grumpy complaints more fun than laughter . . . really? On this first day of March, I, Tibby, suggest that all of us teens decide here and now, sworn solemnly on yonder calendar, to come in to the next gathering like lambs and retreat in the same delightful manner. Lions are welcome wel-come only in zoos . . . and whose front room has bars on' the windows? win-dows? In other words, March can be many things to many people. It , can be a beautiful beginning to a wonderful spring. Or it can be a tiresome dragging on of a persistant persist-ant winter. Such a month serves to remind us teens that people are a lot like that, too. We can be something delightful to look forward for-ward to ... or something grim others would like to get rid of. MANNER MATTERS: Girls do not have to pay for any entertainment entertain-ment other than that to which she has invited a fellow. If a couple decides to go to a show following a party, a girls' dance or whatever . , . it's up to the boy to stake the twosome. Unless pre-arranged, of course! FASHION FADS: Hair-do's this time . . . the smooth brow is a pretty sight. And more an more girls are combing coifs back off the face. Bangs are on their way out, unless they're lifted in soft curl up and away from the forehead. The slick back chignon style or the smooth, sleek page boy that is partless, the demure short fluff with a side part allowing the other side to be pulled straight back and held in a barret . . . those are the newest trends in teen coiffures. |
