guilders worth of cloth,
beads, hatchets and other
items. When the Dutch

over to the English a half
century later, what did they
get in return?
Answer: They received
both Suriname, a tiny coun
try in South America, and
Run Island in the Banda
islands of Indonesia. Either
answer was considered cor

Seven great characters from America's best teen movies
The American teen movie
has grown and evolved over
the past half century. As
with any genre, most audi
ences have to weed through
over-distilled, hyper-pro
duced garbage before reach
ing the movies that really
mean something. For every
“American Graffiti,” there’s
an “American Pie.” But
there are great teen char
acters out there, figures
who capture the feelings of
growing up, and bring them
roaring back.

Jim Stark
“Rebel Without A Cause”
(1955)

July 21: If you dug

Island, assuming you sur

Answer: On the border

between the provinces of
Alberta and Saskatchewan

As if the heat weren’t
enough, the HHJ quiz fea
tured a “Summer Sizzler”
series of questions starting
in July.
There were five questions,
one each week, with con
testants sending in all their

answers to all five.
The winners are Terry

County public defender, and
Mike Stanley of Perry, an
industrial engineer for the
Department of Defense at
Robins Air Force Base.

when you go Hawaiian, you
really go Hawaiian.”
Although the “Gidget”
series began in 1959, “Gidget
Goes Hawaiian” was large
ly a better film, capturing
an innocent period before
the 1960 s exploded. The
“Gidget” films spurred
the “beach movie” sub
genre, and James Darren’s
Moondoggie is instantly
entertaining. Darren shines
here, but would later go
on to play second fiddle
to William Shatner, and
his perm, on TV’s “T.J.
Hooker.”

Aug. 11 (This was the
easy one): Name the two
tectonic plates that cause
the Himalayas to keep on
growing.
Answer: The Indian plate
and the Eurasian plate.
Both Everett and Stanley
are regulars in answering
the weekly quiz, which usu
ally has an “Eye Q” ques
tion, a literary question, a
question from the Bible and
a question about Georgia.
Did they just have all this
arcane knowledge in their
ner?”
Richard Dreyfuss estab
lished his Oscar-winning
career in this nostalgic look
at the pre-Vietnam 19605.
Henderson is a character
most audiences can identify
with, struggling to find the
“girl that got away” on the
night before he heads to
college.

Jeff Spicoli
“Fast Times at Ridgemont
High”(l9B2)
Favorite Line: “But surf
ing is a way of life, man.
It’s a way of looking at that
wave and saying ‘hey, bud,
let’s party.’”
Amy Heckerling’s “Fast
Times at Ridgemont High,”
based on the screenplay
by Cameron Crowe, is a
remarkably realistic look
at teen life in the 1980 s.

winners said that while they

weekly quiz, they take find

challenge for their comput

skills.
Stanley actually figured
out the infamous Kerguelen
Island question by checking
longitudes and latitudes on
a map of the world.
Everett, who is usually
one of the first to turn in
the regular quiz answers
each week, says that she
does the quiz to relax on
her lunch hour between ses
sions in court.

Penn shines as Jeff Spicoli, a
perpetual stoner that would
rather be surfing than sit
ting through U.S. history.
Penn’s Spicoli brought
audiences to theaters, and
helped them discover a
deeper film.
John Bender
“The Breakfast Club”
(1985)
Favorite Line: “Does
Barry Manilow know you
raid his wardrobe?”
Judd Nelson’s John
Bender is the greatest
character from the genre’s
greatest director, John
Hughes. Bender’s intensity
and memorable lines are
unforgettable, challenging
the “in-crowd” at an all-
American high school.
