kiss their escort on the first date.
3. Most Milne girls, at least most of
those in G.A.C,, are "in love at the
present time,
4, The favorite dance orchestras, in
order, are Glen Miller, Benny Goodman,
and Kay Kayser,
5, They favor coeducational schools.
6, According to this group of girls,
there are only two good-looking boys in
Milne,
7. These girls average two or three
dates a week, usually on week-ends.
8, The slight majority are jitterbues.

fraternity pins since very few of the
girls have ever worn any,
