When:
Short story:
Janis Joplin attends the 10th Annual Reunion party at her former high school in Port Arthur, Texas, USA.Full article:
Laura Joplin (sister) : I think that Janis got what she needed from it. She resolved some of her questions of her place, relative to high-school people and whether or not she needed to be applauded. It wasn't the wonderful triumph she would have loved, some huge, red-career honour from her high school. The perspective just wasn't at Port Arthur yet. As a mature person, we all have to get through needing approval from others to being able to live with our own self-approval. That was one of the steps in her life.
