A Movie Nearly Every Night: High School Confidential!

High School Confidential!
Dir. Jack Arnold
Starring: Russ Tamblyn, Jan Sterling, John Drew Barrymore, Diane Jergens, Mamie Van Doren

Seven years of high school
high in school
seeking acceptance in the hipster slang
of the lingo
and jive

Flaunting authority over the authority

with a cheroot
a knife, motorcycle boots
and a '58 Chrysler Imperial convertible

She says her name is MaryJane -
blast off, popcap, swinging hitsville
while squaresville Michael Landon
looks on with disapproval on his lettermen's brow

Would you know the difference?

Chicken
doll
square
scram
Arlene, the square doll chicken
Will this square doll scram?

Joan, the weed head
grasshopper
popper
with the copper
what's to stop her

in this cautionary tale
of
high school
teens, Jerry Lee Lewis
and weed

Complete the scene

And some swingin'
