Comparing 1939 and 2016: What are the characteristics of the ideal boy/girl? Read what SHS students think, and then comment below!

Madison Seixas, Writer

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.
