Be Good, Kids!

 

September 27, 1961, Oshkosh Northwestern

Like one of those old black and white movies about the perils of dating and fast living, our teenagers in the early '60's were reminded that temptations were easily found in the dating world.  It was a lucky circumstance that we had the good priests of St. Mary's to keep us on the straight and narrow.  Naturally, this would be a great topic for panicky parents of teenagers at the St. Mary's equivalent of the PTA.  While the kids could only roll their eyes at such advice, the parents eagerly took it to heart.  Say what you will about such advice, but we all have some memories of this theme, and despite getting "the talk" or not, such concerns were a simple fact of teenage life.
