Above—Some sing around the piano, some read, and some shoot the breeze. You can tell an Oak Ridge teen-ager because she almost always wears a long-streamered bow in her hair and carries a tiny brush in lieu of a comb. She doesn't care for jewelry except for a class ring or miniature football worn on a chain around her neck.

Center—The windows of the Den are curtained in gray and maroon, the Oak Ridge High colors. Helpfully handing the hammer to Danny Dolan is Carita Bryson. The three chevrons on the sleeve of Danny's high school sweater indicate a three-year membership in the high school band. He's also senior class president and manager of the football team.

Below—Time out for Cokes at the initial-scarred snack counter. You can also order a Knopsnooter, a concoction made with the juice of a lime, crushed ice, and as much salt as palatable. It's mainly the boys who go for this. In the goo line the girls prefer the more orthodox hot fudge sundae. Snack bar proceeds pay for decorations.
