Super Highways - Pro and Con In this day and age people are going places faster than they used to. Some folks say that it is the high powered automobile engine and super highways that cause accidents and deaths. It's true that some terrible accidents occur on the turnpikes but if people knew how to use those roads I think it would be much bettor. The population is ever increasing and that means moro and more automobiles are traveling our highways. This rush of people must be taken care of. This means better roads must be constructed. The turnpikes aro helping to solve this problem. Poople who drive way above the speed limit are just asking for trouble. There are many docent drivers on the road, of course, and these aro the ones we should model ourselves after. There is also a turnpiko scrvico in operation now that is of much use to the motorist in trouble. If you have a flat tire or your car breaks down in one way or anoth- er, all you have to do is send for the turnpiko service and ono of the service trucks will bo at the scene in minutes with the noccssary tools and equipment to do tho job. I think if wo observe and obey all tho rules and regulations of our turnpikos wo can make them safer and much moro onjoyablo than they already are. Dick Toof ’61 What Makos a Teenager Act tho Way Ho Does ? I am no philosopher of the mind or anything of tho sort. I am just an average teenager and I'd liko to try to explain,in my own opinion, what makes a teenager act the way ho does. The years betweon thirtocn and nineteen are, I believe, some of the most difficult years of growing up. Things aro much different in the adult world. It takes some of us longer than othors to adjust to it. Wo aro now at an ago where it is of great importance to us to be allowed to use our own heads. If parents seem over protective, ns many do, it may cause us to rebel in one way or another. During this period of our lives ire want a chanco to prove to ourselves and other poople that we can think for ourselves. Wo want to do something woll. If our plan doesn't work out right we aro apt to bocomo very upset about it. I guess that's because we have in-

feriority complexes. Take, for instance, a girl who is trying to sew for the first timo. If her mothor or whoever is teach- ing her gets impatient, the girl will most likely put the sow- ing up and not try again. Sho will think that she can't possibly loam, while sho actually could if her teacher would give her a chanco. What I'm really getting at is that parents should tako into consideration that wj really do want to loarn, oven though we may not act as we do sometimes, if they would only tako the timo to show us. Anothor thing that seems to bother us teenagers a. great deal is o ir overbearing pride, we hate to ask if wo can go anywhere. I know that is my biggest problem. Somo times I had rather stay home than ask if I may go. Maybe it's the wrong way to feel, but I'm sure I'm not alone. Some chilren resent parents who want to know whore they're going, what they're go'ng to do, and what timo they're coming back, I'm not saying that parents don't have a right to know.bocause they do However, they could show a littlo more trust sometimes. Somo parents are very fair. They give their teenage children as much responsibility as they can handle What wo kids are are really trying to prove most of the time, I guess, is that wo know as much as adults. Of course wo don't, but sometimes they don't even give us crodit for what wo do know! We go through many different moods, which T don't under- stand myself. There arc times when we feel liko just giving up. Other times things couldn't be going more perfectly. It isn't any- thing out of the ordinary for anyone to fall blue, the puzzling part about us is that one minute we're hapoy and the next we're niscra.blo for practically no reason. Maybe this is a problem for a philosopher. Grown-ups often met angry at us for having so mamy di'ferent moods, but they'll have to put up with them; wo do] I believe that in the younger teens we are apt to think that wo're pretty smart. I think that when we at last realize that lifo isn't supposed to bo a bowl of roses , that wo can uso some advice from adults, and that wo aren't as smart as wo were, it is a big step in growing up. Those aro difficult years it's true, but toonagers, as much as wo hate to admit the fact, adults are a littlo wiser and they do know itfh t they're talking about most of the timo. We have to put up xtfiththom so the only conclusion is to make the best of it and get through these years as well as wo can.' Bronda Mayo '62 Kenton: I hear that fish is brain food.
