...tomboy, the hopeless, lovable pup, the freckle-faced young swain . . . sensations which we no longer have but still seem to want; dreams of innocence before it went corrupt."

Movie-struck, semi-pubescent punks with their cigarette packs turned up in the sleeves of their T shirts are spotting them and shooting their best Judd Nelson looks. And 14-year-old girls in shouldn't-be-legal shorts are looking cute and plotting how to be Katharine Hepburn, or maybe even Ally Sheedy. The classes of '87 through '90 are already hard at work...
