I like the sentence--"Nothing gold can stay" when Pony mentioned it. -
Disguise
To distinguish themselves from the public wanted list, they had to cut their long hair, and dye them. They were extremely unwilling to do it but they had to because they did'nt want to be arrested.There used to be a great individuality between Greasers and Soc's, but now, the boundary was no longer clear and available.
