' -GILBERT'S "What Young People Think' Relax About Those All Night Proms; Survey Shows They're Pretty Tame By EUGENE CILBER Pratidant, Gilbert Youth Rataarch Co. Susie has gone to the prom and Mom and Dad are alone with their thoughts: A big night for the kids, big gest of the year . . , some of them are pretty wild, bound to be some drinking ... all of them have cars tonight . . . was it wise to tell Susie she could go to that all-night party? Will this be a wild nighl? We asked the youngsters, 660 of them. 11 might be some comfort to Mom and Dad that most of the youngsters don't think of the prom as a wild affair. Only 13 per cent of the teen agers we questioned said the kids make a wild time of it. Sixty-two per cent said they mind their manners and watch their conduct even on these big occasions. "Most teen-agers are mature enough to control themselves ana know what is best for them," says 14-year-old Binny Hersom of Claire V a 1 1 1 e r e oi naruora Cnnn . screes. "We are out for a good time onlv. not for trouble." says Claire "We are old enough to know that trouble is not wanted and we don't give It." "It is a time to dance and try to do your best, in courtesy and dress," says Steven Cohenour, 16, of Coffevville. Kan. And 16-year old Jana Lynn Moore of St. Louis says proms are "extremely calm compared to adult shindigs. On the Other Hind . . . But there is, of course, a mi nority report. Proms and the after-dance par ties do get wild, aaya 17-year-old Larry Groii of Washington. "They are the last link with high school," he aays. Jim McClurg, 1, of St. Louis, agrees. But Jim adds, "Every body has decent fun." Several of the youngsters, even those who sar the proms are mild occasions, mention a few who "have to spoil it . , . like getting drunk to be a showoff." The teen-agers have definite ideas about rules of conduct for the prom and such things as chaperones. About one-fourth of the teeners ay they and their friend usually .stay out all night on prom night. And eight of 10 Teport their par ents approva of the hour they gel home. But in most cases the young people say their parents set a eurfew or allow them to do so "as long as it's a reasonable boiir." "They leave it to me lo decide," ssvs 18-year-old Ivie Michaels of Chicago, "and I don't abuse the privilege." When the Clock Str Midnight is the most popular , hour for leaving the dance.

DANCING AND DREAMING: Teen-agers, polled on the question of the big all-night proms assured they're tame affoirs, and not cause for porental worry. five per cent say that's when they depart, while some leave as early as 11 p.m. and others 16 per cent - stick around until the last dance. After the dance, 68 per cent of the youngsters say they go some where for a snack. A quarter of them say they go somewhere for more dancing, while 16 per cent prefer what their greying parents once referred to as "pitching woo." Other favorite pasttimcs are late parties and car rides. Where do they do these things? Drive-in restaurants are most popular while a friend's home is next. About three-quarters of the young people say their parents know about their atter-prom ac tivities and anDrove of them. "I feel 1 should tell them, and they feel Ihcy can trust me," says 15-year-old Nancy Bohannon of Coffevville. Kan. They know 1 wouldn t do any thing wrong, says .loyce jonn- son, 16, of Norman, uwa. "They know where I am going, with whom, and when 1 expect to be home," says Isabel Lewis, 16, of Detroit. Chaperones are no more popu lar, nor any less, Mian in 'mom's and dad's senior year. Chaparonas Unwanted Sixty-four per cent say they have chaperones only during the dance, and that's all they feel they need them. Only 16 per cent say tney minx cnaperones are necessary for the parties that fol low the dance. ' Most feel they are old enough to be trusted on their own. They say they are mature enough to handle any situation. Others say they have to learn responsibility some time and that proms are opportune occasions to begin. "If you are old enough to date and go to a pronf." says 17-year-old Karen Bnswell of St. I.ouis, "you should be able to take care of yourself." But Joel McCoud of Portland, Ore., voiced the opinion of the minority. He says, "It prevents trouble." Only 13 per cent of those we questioned say parents' groups in their area are planning supervi sion of all-night prom activities. Two nut of 10. however, didn't answer the question or didn't know. Many of the young people who are aware of parental interest in the prom question are cynical of such endeavors. "There's always somebody who's never satisfied," says 17-year-old John Birken of Valley Stream, N.Y. "Let them mind their own busi ness," says another youngster. And one girl from Duliith, Minn., says a "neighborhood group of frustrated parents" are interfering with prom activities. 7. Does someone chaperone one on prom nights: All night?
