Fork Union!!!! Wow-- htat was like the really déclassé place to go-- it was for PROBLEM BOYS!!!
The "right" places were Woodberry Forest and Episcopal. I remember going to Woodberry Forest for dances-- proper invitations, and having to RSVP the host home, (Miss Penelope Anne Chappell accepts with pleasure....)
Miss Penni was 16- she didn't know what the heck she was doing- thank god for mothers. I had all these lessons on how to leave your dirty bed, how to eat with 47 forks and spoons, how to write gracious thank yous post trip) Yet in a way, I miss the structure and elegance of those days. THere is a certain comfort, I think, in tradition. Or is that just the Southern belle in me coming out? I also think you need to know when to flip your finger at formality.

The May '61 issue has two pages of small ads for several
dozen boys' and girls' schools. Fork Union Military Academy
in Virginia is one of them.

But it also has large ads for watches, cruise lines, cars,
station wagons, "all-transistor" radios, garden tractors,
and Ansco film.

The back cover of the December issues usually had Santa
drinking a Coke.
