So, I read the novel and was swept into a time 2008 Advisory Board and lifestyle long departed.

The story chronicles the events Vice-Chair and emotions experienced by Snowy and her friends as they progress Becky Albert towards graduation – marking many “milestones” along the way. Snowy’s NH Educational Media Association list of goals is formidable: she wants to be a varsity cheerleader, she wants to snag football player Tom Forbes as her boyfriend, and she wants Van McLeod to go to an elite women’s college after graduation. Her desire to succeed NH Dept. of Cultural Resources is strong: “She wanted to be one of those fabulous varsity cheerleaders cheering at a game that mattered, for the boys who mattered, the crowd Dr. Lyonel B. Tracy caring passionately, and she herself one of those who led them.” To high NH Dept. of Education school students these things matter enormously, desires we dismiss as Michael York trivial as we age and encounter all the issues of adulthood. New Hampshire State Library Snowy was a typical teenager of the 1950’s, striving to conform to her Kathy Wurtz image of a popular girl, but she was also working toward the unusual goal New Hampshire Writers Project of going to college and having a career. As a sophomore her image was all-important: “Snowy strove to conform, to wear the same clothes as the Patricia Fargnoli popular girls, to wear her hair fashionably, to carry her books and speak Poet Laureate of New Hampshire the slang and know the hit songs all absolutely correctly.” Yet her under- lying ambition to obtain a scholarship to Smith or Mt.

An overwhelming concern Maureen Graham, CHILIS for girls then was how far to go on a date, whether (or when) to allow your boyfriend to Get Fresh, as Snowy and her friends referred to it, or Sally Jones actually reach the Big Milestone of sexual intercourse. There were “rules” NH Library Trustees Association for these relationships: “then, horrified, she realized she was letting him Get Fresh on their third evening together, and you weren’t supposed to Pat Frisella until you were going steady.” Sexual mores of the 1950’s are very much Poetry Society of New Hampshire part of the novel, from dates at soda shops or movie theaters to the popular “parking” destinations.

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.
