ae ee Saeageey eTUeRERTEREET! erate BOBBY CURTOLA > THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, June 16, 1964 3A : Whitby Hosts Recording Star " Coming direct from rehears- als for the Calgary: Stampede, Bobby Curtola flies into Whitby . Arena. this Friday, June 19 for Teenagers In Former Years Also Enjoyed Wacky Fads Half the fun of being a teen- ager is in being one of the crowd -- going with the gang -- being 'in on' the group. It's a wonderful, wacky time of life that most everyone looks back upon with .nostalgia, recalling fads, fancies and crazes_ that were indulged in. Some fads go full circle -- witness the shoulder-strap leath- er bags so popular in the 40's, now starting again with Ohio students. Some fads flare brief- ly, then die out. Still others-be- come classics that endure. Blue jeans, for example, like old soldiers, never die out, but just 'fade away' to become more treasured by their owners. Teens of today have mothers who went through the 'sloppy Joe'? sweater era, and Dad like as not wore dirty white bucks and bulky, chain-knit sweaters. Saddle shoes, page boy. hairdos, twin sweater sets and bright red earmuffs were all part of yes- terday's teen fads. Of course, yesterday teens were called 'youngsters' -- 'school kids' -- or that dreaded term, 'adoles- cents'! ANKLETS VS. BOBBY SOX Anklets (ed. note: teenagers of today read this as "bobby six") once featured broad turn- back cuffs that sported the own- er's first initial in bright colored embroidery. And girls of today wearing plaid sneakers can re- mind Mom that it was her age group that considered plaid shoe laces "real reet". While there may seem a wide gulf between the generations, basically, most teen eras follow a general pattern, Each genera- tion has its own personal slang, pet music, and penchant for personalizing their belongings. . Even the fad of girls and boys exchanging items -- such as to- day's high school girls wearing their steadies' sweat shirts -- has its own precedent in the past. High school athletes of yesteryear once bestowed their letter sweaters on their best girls. MOVIE STARS FAVORED Using India ink to write your best friend's name, your favor- ite fellow's name, or such movie idols' names as Ty Power, Clark Gable, or Jimmy Stewart on white sneakers another past teen trick. Yellow rain slickers were per- sonalized on the back with ad- hesive tape that spelled out in black letters. the owner's nick- name or school. One of the fads of the late 30's when 'many boys wore heavy, yellow bell bottom cord pants was the etching -- in half a foot high letters -- of their best girl's first name or initials on the flared pantieg bottoms in India ink. Teens. are ever inventive when it comes to putting their in- dividual stamp of identification on belongings. By copping broth- er's blue denim western jacket and using ordinary hair spray and white or colored cha'k, to- day's teen girls make acon- versation piece out of this item of casual wear. Some girls favor wearing their jackets to after-school sports events, and having the team hero autograph the backs of the blue denim jackets with white chalk. A quick spray of hair lacquer and the autograph is smudge-resistant, HOOTENANNY JACKETS More artistically inclined teen- ers sketch colorful goony birds, seascapes, or cartoon charac- ters on their jackets and wear them as 'conversation pieces' to hootenannies and other teen get- togethers. If the young lady tires of her "pop art", or finds another team favorite, she just tosses the jacket in the washing machine, sudsing it out clean again, and she's ready for the new chalk autographs or art- work, . Yesterday's young ladies may have aggravated their mothers when they sneaked Dad's or big brother's white shirt and wore it -- collar open and sleeves rolled high -- with tails a-flap over their blue jeans. But to- day's teens have added a few tricks to tis fad. Teens in the midwestern states favor. this wild get-up: A man's long- sleeved oxford blue button-down collar shirt. (which must be but- toned!) worn underneath a regu- lar sweatshirt, turned inside out, and with the sleeves chopped off just above the elbcys. The outfit isn't complete w®hout a brand new set of blue jeans -- was the legs of which have been scissored away just above the knees! The shirttails, of course, remain outside the jeans. It seems 'that through the years virtually every possible twist has been given to clothing fads by teenagers, but every new generation manages to come up with a wilder innova- tion. Mothers, if you're fretting about your teenager's foibles, remember your own: school days. Besides, all too soon, to- day's teens will be tomorrow's adults, with teens cf their own to worry abcut. TESTING METHOD MONTREAL (CP) -- Profes- sor J. H. Quastel of McGill Uni- versity may have found a fast way for doctors to decide what drug would be best for cancer patients. The Montreal General Hospital-is testing his method, which involves appiying a score of anti-cancer drugs in succes- sion to small samnles of can- cerous tissue from patients, says the Canadian Cancer So-, ciety, which financed Dr. Quas- tel's research. a big show and dance with television performer Ted Curl. At 19, Bobby is 'the hottest young performer to hit Canada since Paul Anka. And in a bus- iness as competitive as the singing and recording end of show business it becomes in- creasingly difficult to. remain at the top of the pile: Three years ago, Bobby was discovered by Basil and Dyer Hurdon in his home. town of Port Arthur. From here the Hurdon Brothers worked to make Bobby a professional per- former. In Bobby's case it was a simple job, as he has that little knack for being able to perform and make his audience love it as much as he does, -- UPHILL ._ BATTLE His recordings for Tartan Records 'met with very poor response at first, because radio stations shied away. from play- ing anything that was Cana- dian, as the batting record had been pretty poor on previous Canadian artists. It was at this Bobby... appeared on a_ televi- sion d&mce party program in Toronto called HI TIME. Dur- ing the course of the program the non-playing of records was mentioned and an appeal for support was made to the radio stations on the air. The sta- tions in the area responded and from there it was all uphill for TEEN LETTERS Dear Editor: I wish to express my sincere thanks for the privilege of writ- ing in Teen Talk. It served as an eyeopener for me and many others. It provided an excellent ca- pacity for the representation of Kingsway.

Bobby. has made many records all of which have registered in the top ten charts across Canada.
