Sometimes, actually most of the time, I forget that SOL is viewed all over the world. As I was reviewing my latest submission, I realized there were a couple of things that might have been confusing to someone not from the US. So here goes:
(1) The abbreviation "j.v." is short for junior varsity, which in most American high schools means athletic teams for ninth and tenth graders (14-15 years old, usually).
(2) And this one might come in handy for any readers under 50. The title of the story is the first line of a song that was popular 40-50-60??? years ago. The next line is "to get along with the beautiful girls".
There, I feel better. I now return you to your regularly scheduled reading.
