"K" - SHE WANTED TO BE KISSED

What can I say about this?  We all wanted to be kissed.   We could hardly wait to be kissed.  My first real kiss was in the ninth grade which seems so very young now.

"J" - SHE KEPT JOURNALS AND SCRAPBOOKS

I was encouraged by my mother to keep journals and scrapbooks containing things that interested me or caught my eye - mostly cut from magazines.  Prized images and writings were usually arranged haphazardly and glued for posterity.   

"I" - HER IMAGE WAS IMPORTANT

We spent hours trying to look our best and wanted others to agree that we'd done a good job!

"H" - SHE MUST FIND A HUSBAND

If a girl didn't meet her potential husband by the time she graduated from high school, it was imperative to find one in college.  The age of twenty-five was considered a cut-off date to avoid being referred to as an "old maid".
