Sorry I think the attitudes in that handbook about promiscuity and drinking are the same as what you see here in this yearbook. And since I lived it in terms of watching “elite” teens behave like this - I see these types all over this yearbook.
Where in THE PREPPY HANDBOOK is that?
Drinking, yes, there is talk, in the book about that; however, NOTHING even remote like what's in Ford's yearbooks.
Okay, name the supposed ELITE schools that the teens you saw, went to.
And you know what all of these kids did? REALLY ?
Are there kids who were "WILD" in high school? Yes, there always have been and not just ones who went to private schools. OTOH...the pages from the Holton School are shocking, as are the write-ups. But they aren't representative of ALL such schools from that era.
