she would've gone with a friend at that age

Good point. Only way gals got that much freedom is if they pretended they were going to a movie or staying at the others house or whatever.

Also with the one piece swimsuit was this a pool party? Again one girl for guys at the pool I just don’t see that

I’ll go ahead and show my age...I never heard anyone in high school talk about sneaking, lying, misbehaving, drinking, and over all participating in unacceptable behavior. I’m not saying probably some weren’t guilty of misbehavior of one kind or the other but they certainly weren’t going to broadcast it around the school. I came from a small farming community and everyone knew everyone else and word spread quickly if someone stepped over the line. I realize this was a different community talked about here than the one where I and my siblings grew up but there were guidelines we had to follow or suffer the consequences. We chose not to push it!! I remember the quandary of having to room with two girls on our senior class trip who were known to SMOKE and that made me and my closest friend uncomfortable but we survived.

This was the 1980's, not the 1950's.
