jyvtt jrrcs county inspectors evaluate acton high the acton frt pre wadneaday april 9 9o9 youth fresh tracks by barbara mclhfosh thii weekend the family wllneued another traumatic experience in the life of my kid brother i give him hit monthly hairtrim at present he belongs to an antibarber cull and ive been appointed his personal hip hairdresser its not that he has any great faith in my barbering talents in fact before every snip i have to pledge a comparable chunk of my own locks if i make a noticeable mistake on his however he knows that the occasional trim is inevitable if he wants to live peacefully at home and i suppose he feels im the lesser calculated risk the preoperative procedure is always a matter of subtle psychological persuasion by the time i arrived on the scene this time my older brother had threatened to stop driving him to school because people might mistake him for a new girl friend dad wis calling him sweety and my mother suggested he wear a

off the back above the collar was like defusing a time bomb every move had to be fully justified beforehand and frantically inspected afterwards i felt the front could have come off another two inches

cool but short enough to appease the old folks and leave him looking like a boy longlsh hair for boys seems to be as much with us as brushcuts used to be on some it becomes a comical indication of immaturity and revolutionary spirit but on others slightly longer than usual hair is a definite improvement the fun of being young is experimenting with current trends and doing your part to buck the
