and girls do. His interests are with his friends, and his friends are outside
of his family. As the film, opens, Barry’s family is preparing to leave on
the summer vacation trip. Barry isn’t anxious to go, for it means giving
up many activities with his friends, so he decides to stay at home. At first,
Barry enjoys his freedom. But, after a few days, he finds his freedom a
bit wearing, and he begins to wish his family were back, or that he were
with them. He begins to think about his own relationship to them, and what

Discussion Problems in Group Living Series.

Synopsis: A discussional film dramatizing the problem of a young girl who
feels that she is rejected by her school group. It points the way for a dis-
cussion of the mutual responsibilities of the individual and the group in
such situations.

The girl, a teen-ager, feels that she is not liked by others in her class.
She overhears part of a conversation between several girls about not in-
viting one of the disliked teachers to act as a chaperon at their party, and
she thinks they are talking about her. Later when one of the girls calls
to invite her to the party, she thinks that she is being invited because the
others feel sorry for her, and refuses to go. One of the girls calls on her
at her home and the situation is straightened out. B W 1951
Social guidance attitudes film for adolescent children. Susan
Jane Smith, a cute, normal yet laconic girl, doesn’t fit in with
the rest of the gang at her junior high school. In the classroom,
in the school hallway, and at the local soda shop delicatessen
hangout, the other kids tend to benignly ignore Susan Jane. She
feels left behind and alone, and walks around sadly with an air of

night party. One girl in the clique decides to reach out to the
lonely girl though, and invites her to the party. Terrible acting
