Logbook Correspondence Bureau Conducted under personal supervision of Sister Kimona Pajamah, who will gladly extend her loving counsel to all troubled readers of the Logbook. All communications will receive prompt attention; no attention paid to anonymous letters. i. Dear Sister: I am a boy. I am popular and a mem- ber of the New Conwayan Board. I know a girl. There was a club social. She went. I didn’t. Shall I get mad or not? Anxiously, LESTER. Dear Lester: Cheer up. When you become associate editor of the Logbook, she will be crazy to go with you; so run away and write your school news. 2 . Dearest Miss: Wie Geht ' s? I am a regular star at basketball. You ought to see me in gym. Gee! I’m awfully popular. And I’m very smart. I am a classical baseball player and perhaps I’ll make the second team. What would you advise as a good nerve tonic? Yours, RED FEELLER. My dear child: Yours is a very sad case. I hardly know what to prescribe. If you can only add the Conway Or- chestra to your achievements, get the cornet and try blowing on that. I shall be so glad if it helps. 3. Dear Sister: I am a man. I have been in Conway nearly six feet four inches. Can you beat that? 1 am a writer of some note, also a debater, also a fusser. Kline wishes me luck. Don’t you? H opefully, GRAYDON M. ROBINSON. My dear Graydon: You certainly must be used to com- ing to school by this time. In regard to your question, will refer your letter to the department on “Successful Housekeeping at Three Dollars per.” 4. Dearest Sister: I am a very fascinating young man; am 14 years of age, good looking and popular with the young ladies. Think I am in love with one of Carlisle’s damsels and write to learn whether I should remain in Carlisle during vacation. Am in a quandary and don’t know what to do. Nervously yours, BILL WOOD. My dear boy. Probably you had better remain in Car- lisle for the summer, and write your father that you are going to take a summer course. He will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that his son is getting ambitious. 5. My dear Sister: I recently had a hair-raising ex- perience, and write you for a little advice. On a trip to Harrisburg I left my charge in the coach and took a fast ride on the bumper. The Company has sued me for illegal car-riding and my girl has become angry with me. What shall 1 do? CHARLES W. HADDEN. Dear Charles: You certainly did a foolish thing to ride on the bumper. Why did you not get on the roof. I am sure you would have enjoyed it all the more, and would not have been detected there. Go and see your girl im- mediately and tell her that there positively will be no repetition of the occurrence, and I have no doubt but that she will forgive you. If she doesn ' t, communicate with me again. 94
