Suddenly I saw her commg up the arsle You ask who? Our faculty advrser whose face usually held a sweet smile thats who rt was' But I saw no smrle on her face at this moment Instead there was an extremely stern expressxon She sat down across the arsle eyerng the boys and one could see she thought that among the boys was where the gurlt lay Although seldom wrong our faculty advrser was to be very much surprrsed In another second we heard agarn the sound that to me had become monstrous Before I knew what I was dorng the clock was rn my hand and I was trymg frantxcally to stop xts rmgmg I trred but m varn I fclt my face turnrng red and I was more em barrassed than I had ever thought possrble Wnthrn a second I was asked very gently' to leave The faculty advnser and I went mto conference and we both decided that students can get mto some queer sntuatnons Won't someone please tell me why rt had to happen to poor lrttle me?

really want to know about Peggy? She is some- thing you dream about, perfect in every detail. I met her at a dance this summer, and it was just like a movie. I really know I'm in love, desperately in love with her. She lived ten miles away from me, and I bicycled to her house as often as I pos- sibly could, even though it sometimes rained. You should see her. Peggy's so blond and tall. She's beautiful l At this I thought of my dark hair, and my five feet, two inches, and I looked at Bud. He was gazing dreamily and wistfully up at the moon Funny isn t it? I thought The same moon that shone on me so protectively a moment ago Fickle moon' Ginny, he said, there is only one Peggy. It was much more than a summer romance. We have been writing to each other, and I know she likes me. Her birthday is next week. I want to get her something very precious to let her know I care. Can you suggest something? You're so wonderful, Ginny, just like my little sister. And he put his arm around me. It's not that I really liked him, or really cared. It's even a little ironic to think of Bud in love. After all, isn't love something that can be felt only by adults? I'm young and I'll soon forget entirely of course I will And this raging torrent of tears will soon stop They re so childish and so futile MARILYN GRUENBERG L1 e as az Switchboard Operator AVE you ever been annoyed to the point of exa p ration by a switchboard operator who simply refused to connect you with your party or who insisted upon clicking continuously in your ear?
