Would have read the minutes from the last meeting, but I spilled diet soda on them. Sandi gave a presentation on “Overcoming Your Fear Of Horizontal Stripes,” which was very informational. Discussed whether to open the club to more members. Concluded that we should keep it exclusive so people have something to strive for. Debated which fastener we like best: zippers, buttons, or snaps? Decided more research was needed. Agreed that Quinn was right to tell Paula Parsky that you can see her black underwear through her white pants: will do even more community service from now on. Reviewed our request to Ms. Li asking for work/study credit for window-shopping. Ate some carrot and celery sticks. Then took care of unresolved business: decided Sandi SHOULD go back and buy the canary-yellow sling-backs that she put on hold at Cashman’s. Meeting ender early so Quinn could make a 4:15 appointment to get her split ends trimmed.

Meeting called to order by Quinn, since Sandi was stuck at home recovering from a twisted ankle caused by falling off her shoes. Read the minutes from last month: Quinn asked that the split ends thing be struck from the record. I said I’d think about it. Voted that we would not wear emerald green on St. Patrick’s Day since none of us is Irish and we all look sick in colors that have too much yellow in them. Will wear blue-green and hope no one notices. Quinn asked if Tiffany and I thought Sandi was doing a good job as President-not that she was saying she WASN'T, but did we think Sandi really meant that stuff about horizontal stripes or was she just setting us up? We said we thought Sandi was a GREAT President. Then Quinn got all nervous and asked me if I write down EVERYTHING we say and if I do, could I erase what she just said about Sandi? I told her that would be like going back in tie, which was impossible. Then she said “but what about white patent-leather books? What about the disco revival?” Then I said, “That’s not the same thing as going back in time, that’s just reinterpreting classic apparel concepts.” So then she said…

HOW DO YOU SCORE? Give yourself 0 points for each A answer, 1 point for each B answer, and 2 points for each C answer.

LESS THAN 10 POINTS: NOT POPULAR AT ALL
You’re going to have to try just a little bit harder. Smile ever when you don’t feel like it, spend more time on grooming rituals, and look at the products advertised in this issue to get an idea of what you should be buying.

10 TO 15 POINTS: PRETTY POPULAR
You’re no nerd, but there’s room for improvement. Observe girls who are more popular than you are and copy them. Tear out some of the ads in this issue and tape them to you bedroom wall for inspiration. Don’t rule “out” being “in”— there’s still hope!

15-20 POINTS: SUPER POPULAR
Nearly perfect! You’re living proof that mirror-gazing really pays off. (Hint: Our advertisers sell lots of items that will help you maintain your popular status.) Even if it’s all downhill form here, you’ll always have fond memories of high school to look back on. Don’t forget to take lots of pictures!
