In this day of dark and sullen pop people, Quicksilver laugh and clown and carry on. They even broke out John's antique gun collection (below ); that's Gary Duncan on the left, David Frieberg in the middle, John at right, and Greg Elmore in front. On the opposite page (above, and far below) they have some fun with TeenSet's faithful photog, Jim Marshall.

(See the July 1968 TeenSet for more on Quicksilver... not to mention the upcoming November TeenSet!)
