Title
The Skyscraper: Letter to the Editor about the Twist
Description
In a letter to the Editor, three students of the class of 1964 (Karen Doody, Connie Pearson, and Ruth Fazioli) express their disturbance that the "smoker" room has been taken up by "twisters" who "suffer from high school fad mania" for the new dance. As they say, "One girl in 100 can do it as a dance, many of the others look highly suggestive, the others purely ridiculous. We think it's time that the smoker be open for smoking -- smokers and bridge players. They're carrying this thing to extremes. Once the hallowed halls were filled with feminine chatter, now all you hear is "Hit the Road Jack." Now's the time to clear the dance floor and act like adult Christian women."
