Helen: "I'm trying to say that this period of life, which we all go through—teenage period—is a very frightening time. It's got its fears and its doubts and its curiosities. And they come to us and they say, I want—I need—to express myself in my own way. In this case the Frug; in my day the Jitterbug; in your day the Charleston or Black Bottom or whatever. And we continue to say to them, well certainly if you have some little thing that you want to express you go right ahead and tell me. But you tell me in my language and what I want to hear.
Well Mr. Hampton, I think it would be very good if occasionally we said to them, yes you can do it in your own way, and I'll help. And I contend, Mr. Hampton, that those youngsters are every bit as moral and sane and stable as we adults feel ourself [sic] to be."
