In a dating relationship, even if a couple was going steady, it was perfectly acceptable that they did not have sex. Though some had sex, the mindset at the time was to wait until marriage, and most did. It was; however, common for couples to park in a secluded spot and "make out." That involved kissing and might involve some intimate touching. Though some believe girls got married young, perhaps as young as 13, it was common for couples to wait until they graduated from high school and possibly college.

In a parent-child relationship, parents definitely were authority figures. Children were expected to mind their parents and to behave themselves properly at school and anywhere in public. Spanking was a common punishment. Parents also used taking away privileges and having to stand in a corner was common, but more so at school than at home. Children had chores and were taught to show respect to their elders. Back-talking and being disrespectful were not tolerated in parent-child relationships.

The teacher-student relationship was much the same as parent-child relationships. Kids knew better than to back-talk or disrespect their teachers because not only would they get in trouble in school, but it was likely that they would also be in trouble when they got home. It was different back then, though. Schools were small; most had only one classroom per grade. Teachers and parents usually knew each other pretty well, too. In the mid to late 60s, schools began to consolidate and became bigger.

An Army Serial Number is a Military Identification Number. When I was in the Army in 1963/1966, one would have a lifetime social security number for income tax purposes and a military ID number. Back then they were not the same number, but in 1969 it might have changed.

That was the Social Security Number for GI's.

First, it goes without saying that they are worth what a buyer is willing to pay. With that said, if each book in the series were purchased individually from various retailers on Amazon.com, it would cost between $120-200 to put the complete set together. However, a quick search on eBay.com shows several completed listings of the complete sets that have sold between $40 and $80 plus shipping. It should be noted that there are 3 editions; 1962 which contains 16 volumes, 1968 with 20 volumes, and 1973 which contains 22 volumes. So, a fair price would depend on the edition, and the condition the books are in.
