James Steen
The Wild One
Mr. Steen teaches Shop at Hillsdale High School. Twenty-one and with the looks of a movie star, he's not much older than the teenage boys he teaches the basics of wiring and woodworking to. This year, Mr. Steen's second at Hillsdale, some girls have joined his class instead of sewing and cooking in Home Education; could it really be his superior pedagogical skills?

Jonathon E. Good
The Boy-Next-Door
John E. "The Bee" Good is the lead guitar player in his band. He's called "The Bee" because when he gets going on his guitar, he makes everyone, especially the girls, go wild. But his heart is for Peggy Sue. He’s borrowed his father's brand new Shavy El Domino for her birthday; it must be love.

Mack Heath
The Greaser
Mack "The Knife" Heath is the local bad boy. If there were ribbons given out at knife fights, he would have them all! Tough, but sensitive, he's always been misunderstood. On the advice of the school counselor, he got himself a job last year working at “Lennie’s Laundromat”. It pays okay and it’s kept him out of trouble.

Mary-Lynn Mudrow
The Bomb-Shell
Mary-Lynn may look like a movie star, but don't let her bomb-shell looks fool you. She's Maybelle Lean's Physics class partner and it's not really clear who is passing notes to who!

Maybelle Lean
The Waitress at the Diner
Maybelle has been a waitress at the Diner after school and on the weekends for over a year. She is deeply concerned about the Russian threat, but no one takes her "duck and cover" drills very seriously. For her, this Cold War could heat up at any moment.

Miss Molly
The High School Teacher
Miss Molly used to teach history and geography at Hillsdale High School, but she became too paranoid to teach anything but Etiquette. She was afraid that if she showed too much appreciation those countries "over there" flirting with Communism, she'd be reported to the House Un-American Activities Committee. So, her class is a party. She spends class time chatting about the latest All-American fashions and fads. Her favorite topic lately: the hula-hoop.

Moana Leesa
The Beatnik
Moana spends most of her time complaining. She can't stand white picket fences or "I Love Lucy" but she loves jazz and playing her bongo-drum. While quite lovely, she is a bit cold and very, very lonely.

Peggy Sue
The Birthday Girl
Peggy is turning sixteen today. She and John E. Good are engaged to be engaged. She’s a good, responsible girl who works part time as a receptionist for her father’s company “Sue’s Survival Supplies,” which helps customers organize and stock their private bomb shelters in case of a nuclear attack. She also writes for the school paper, the “Hillsdale High Happenings.”
