** In the Season 6 ''Series/MadMen'' episode "Favors" (set in early fall 1968) Sally goes with her friend Julie to Manhattan for a Model UN conference. They're mostly in it to hang out with boys more or less unsupervised (which is fairly true to life, to be honest--especially considering that if, like Sally, you're a fourteen-year-old girl at an all-girls BoardingSchool, what else would you want to do?). That said, Sally seems to take it at least somewhat seriously, reciting facts about the Philippines off the top of her head (an [[{{foreshadowing}} early indication of her increasing seriousness and maturity in the last two seasons]], presaging her political positions in 1969-70 and [[spoiler:her very mature reaction to Betty's cancer diagnosis]]), while Julie tries to avoid the subject and just discuss cute guys.
