Comparing 1939 and 2016: What are the characteristics of the ideal boy/girl? Read what SHS students think, and then comment below!
February 19, 2016
In February, 1939, SHS’s Mountaineer newspaper posed the following question to the student body: Ai??What are the characteristics of your ideal boy/girl?
Since we are in the midst of celebrating Valentine’s Day and King of Hearts, we decided to ask the same question to SHS students in 2016.
Take a look at the original, and see all of the cool answers your fellow classmates came up with.
An ideal friend/partner should be trustworthy, hard working, and adventurous. They should push me to be better and make me feel happy.
