Be True to Your School

A catchy tune by the Beach Boys in the mid-sixties, the lyrics of "Be True to Your School" hit many highlights of high school in that era. Boyfriends, girlfriends, sports, varsity athlete sweaters, school songs, cheerleaders, cars, and football games were all part of high school life. 1963 was a tumultuous year for us. The Cuban Missile crisis shook the country, the space program was launched to keep up with advances the Russians were making, and the Cold War was intense. Kennedy sent military advisors to Southeast Asia and the war in Vietnam was getting underway.
