Eighth grade students at Liberty Park Middle School recently celebrated Greasers and Socs Day as a concluding activity for their unit of study on S.E. Hinton’s “The Outsiders.”
The novel tells the story of two different social classes, the Greasers and the Socs, who choose not to associate with each other because they grew up on opposite sides of town.
The students dressed as either Greasers or Socs from the 1960s, brought chocolate snacks, watched Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of the novel and had a “thumb war” during homeroom. Eighth grade English teachers are Anne-Carter Finch and Baylor Knott.
