THIS MONTH'S COVER: In search of just the right models for Coronet's September cover, HOWARD FORSBERG interviewed scores of youngsters in high schools throughout the Midwest. Among the schools hn visited was his own Alma Mater in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. Then, instead of using two specific models for the harmonica player and his bobby-sox admirer, he did composite portraits of several attractive teen-agers. A native of Milwaukee, Forsberg now lives with his wife and two daughters in Park Ridge, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
