HE: "The name sounds familiar,
but I can't place her."
SHE: "She's a 'sister' of Arlene

HE: "Well, she can still teach
after she's married."
Later, the conversation usually
gets around to sex:
HE: "Well, sex is a very im-
portant part of marriage."
SHE: "But it's not everything."
HE: "Yes, that's true. But it's
still very important."
SHE: "Well, yes it is. But you
gotta have more than sex."
HE: "Well, you've gotta love
your husband or wife. But sex
is very important."
At 12:15 the couple depart and
walk slowly toward the hill. Once
at the young lady's dorm, they
may, if they have strong feelings
toward each other, engage in that
phenomenon called "the kiss."
