was never an ardent student v of --
history and found=:high"school studies
somewhat drab. But I have often
wondered what kind of reaction there,
would be from_ future students -studying
our time, lifestyle and social habits.
Mrs. Harry Pitts is conducting
history class -in the year 2050. She
appears on a large screen and callstlic
class to order. L
• "Okay students, today we'll' resume
our look at 'the social customs of the
1960s,70s and 80s in Canada. •
"These people were- quite primitive
compared to our standards but the
women of this, period were much ob-
sessed and concerned with equality and
their struggle was the root of our
female dominated society of today. So
we do owe them something.
"But these women were a curious lot
and had a propensity for decorating
_ their bodies with trinkets. In fact it was
"They also wore such trinkets on
their necks, arms and fingers' and the
:,.more ornate these ornaments, • the
.riiore wealthy the lady wasiikelyto be.
"These women also took delight in
painting their faces and lips, not for
battle, but, curiously, for special tribal
fundtions and pre:mating rituals. It
was known as putting a face on. '
"They were also known to scrape
hair from their legs and,; underarms
and •wore a synthetic, see-through
covering over their legs.
•'..The men were also given to vanity,
scraping' hair from their faces each
morning prior to donning several
layers of clothing including a rope -like,
narrow- piece of fabric that was tied
around the neck. Truly primitive, but,
'it was considered fashionable. •
• ''Men and women botji drove curious
.looking machines, called cars, on a
system of highways. These cars were
"NQ;,. Jimmy, they didn t have
rockets
"T eir currency consisted of silver
and per coins:,that really weren't
• silver•and curiously, their paper money'
was never 'worth it's stated value, A $I
note was apparently only worth 85
dents.
'But their system was inundated
with inconsistencies and .hockey'
' players were' more popular- ° than
politicians. Made more money too, as
far:as the taxpayers knew.
"Their language was also something
of a paradox in that words never meant
what they implied or they had several
different meanings.
"Boogie, for instance, was: not an
unsightly mass in the 'vicinity of one's '
nose and if people 'got down' or 'let
their hair down' they were having a'
good time.
"Maung habits were especially in-
.-teresting and they -engaged to an in-°
tri uing ritual of dating. There was17
much mention •-and •.status';'placed

was or, -for that matter, who=won on *.
these dates. So.scoring is in doubt. a
"Once two people had . dated and -;
scored, they married which led to
divorce so they could date, ,score and
marry again with someone else. • h
"Younger women were often the a
target . of these dates but their. .
Behaviour was quite peculiar. These
young ladies were prone to swooning,
screaming and grabbing at long-haired
men who • could• produce the loudest
shrieks from their electrical ap-,
paratus. It is not known if this is also,
part of the dating process. -
"Tomorow we will examine some of
their greatest advances such as, sliced
bread, panty hose and TV dinners.
I have a feeling we're going to be
laughed at.
