THE JAIL-BAIT AGE

What with petty thievery and wild marijuana parties, there had been enough problems for the faculty at Seacliff High before the girl named Gloria arrived. She was sixteen, she was sexy, and she spelled trouble.

For Gloria was a teen-ager with an adult past. The things that were still considered daring to the local gangs and that shocked teachers in Seacliff were kid stuff this brassy little teaser.

So when Gloria displayed her special talents around the school and after hours, it started a new kind of an extra-curricular rumble that grew into a volcanic eruption which overran Seacliff.

PIED PIPER OF HOT JAZZ

From Basin Street to Broadway, Chuck was it-the boy with the golden lip! When he picked up his trumpet for a solo, the crowds went wild. And wherever he played, there was always a girl who knew what Chuck wanted-and was willing to play a one-night stand. Until Irene sang her way into the little band-and Chuck's life.

Maybe her voice wasn't really good, but the customers liked it. And then, abruptly, the song changed, the notes went sour. Irene found herself caught up in a whirling crescendo of discord, and, somehow, somewhere Chuck was in the center of it all-composing the score for the mad music.

DELINQUENCY'S ONE-WAY STREET

The teeming streets of Brooklyn were a battleground for fifteen-year old Joey Vanne. A bright, personable kid, he might have gone far once, but he was already marked a "Juvenile Delinquent."

It all began when Joey learned that being handy with his fists made him a Big Shot with his gang and with the girls who hung around his cellar club. At times Joey dreamed of getting out of the rat race-until the day a raped girl's father went after him with a butcher knife. Joey was not guilty of the rape. But the police were also looking for him and the only thing that might save him now was the zip gun hidden in his jacket.

You've read about boys like Joey Vanne - good kids gone wrong. But never before has there been such a blazingly real story-one that is utterly true to life-about today's teen-agers on the prowl.

KICK WHEN HE'S DOWN!

AIM FOR THE GROIN!

STOMP OR BE STOMPED!

These are the rules for survival in a kid gang. These are the rules that I lived by when I ran with a gang myself, trying to find out what makes a JD tick. And let me tell you these kids aren't playing games. These are junior-grade killers!

I've pulled no punches in THE JUVIES either. I've painted these kids as they really are, in sharp black and white (and very often in blood red). Stark and stinking, and intended to scare the hell out of you.
