p L IT It A KY DE PA RTM EN T JEANS DLEMMA As Jean Mallory, a pretty girl of eighteen, walked to school that morning1ma'thoughts were somewhat mixed up. She, being a senior, had practically the same thoughts that run through 'all seniors' minds in April. This week final examin- ations were to be taken by the seniors and next week - just to think of it made her heart beat wildly - next week, honor parts were to be announced. As she walked on to school, a hundred thoughts filled her mind. She must remember to get her name cards, make an appointment to havekmr picture taken on Thurs- day, and, above all, decide who to invite to the Girl Reserve Party which was to be next Fri- day night. It would be wonder- ful, she reflected, to forget all about exams, school, and honor parts for at least one evening! . There was one rival in her class of 65 who could possibly get that longedibr Valedietory. This one possibility was Dick Andrews, a young man of her own age, whom she looked upon scorn- fully. He always managed to get just a little better rank in a few subjects than she did. He was especially smart in subjects like algebra and chemistry in which Jean was not so smart. How- ever, Jean's rank in some other subjects was much better than his. Other students in the class bickcred among themselves as to who had the highest rank. Always in her mind was that one ques- tion - would those low marks, in thosefbw subjects which bothered her, bringlnnzrank below Dick's? Just then she reached the school building. As she passed through the corridors to her home room, students called to her eheerily. Little did they know how badly she wanted to get'the.valedic- tory, or how hard she had worked for it. As she entered her room, several girls of the club called out to her: Wwhe have you invi- ted, Jean?W Jean's mind immedi- ately turned toward that subject and until school began she was constantly eliminatingand adding in her mind, boys whom she would like to invite. There was Bob, the sport's hero, nice looking, too, then, there was Ted Wake.

ther, but field. He had become popular through dramatics. He was also nice looking. There wereat least ten othersshe could choose from, because she was popular in her school.' As the bell rang for classes, she dism1esed the thought from her mind and turned to thoughts of the examinations. She was busy all through the forenoon, taking exams. Not once did she think of anything other than the exams, except when she spoke absentmindedly to a class- mates: nJust think,these areour last exams at Cremont Highin As she walked home to lunch with her friends, there was much discussion about tests. nHow did you do that fifth question in chemistry, Jean?-Oh! There's Dick Andrews, he's sure to know. I'll ask h1m,U said one of Jean's classmates. Jean felt a little jealous for an instant, but she agreed that Dick knew all the answers when she some- times didn't. Lunch at the Mallory home presented a repetition of school activities that forenoon. Mr. and Mrs. Mallory were interested in their children's school ac- tivities and except for an occa- sional need of some food to be passed or to answer a question, they listened attentively. nmother, I ordered my name cardsand invitationsgand mother, I haven't decided who to invite to the party, yet. Haven't you a suggestion as to whom I might ask?U At this time Jean's younger brother, Philip, spoke up. HI know one boy You can't ask and that's Bob Hastings,your football hero. He has been invi- ted.U UYou are wrong, brother dear, because Betty Howard told me this morning he Y .hadn't been invited-yet, in fact, I may invite him.n UYou are too late, sister dear. I walked home behindhmn and Betty Howard and I heard her ask him if he would go with her, and he said he wou1d.U VMother, can't he stop tea- sing me?n NPhilip, please,n Mrs. Mal- lory added. nOh, all right, mo she'l1 find out some .day she isn't as smart as dmsthinks she 1s.N And off Philip went for the afternoon session of school. Mrs. Mallory at once tried to cheer Jean up. uI'm sure,dear, that you'll be able to invite some other boy who is just as nice as Bob.U uOf course I will, mother, I really didn't mind but Philip likes to tease me so.n After a pause Mrs. Mallory said: NJean, why don't you ask Dick Andrews. I think he is a nice boy. I don't think you should ignore him because he has given you some very good comp- etition during your high school years.n nThat's exactly what I'll do. I had never thought of invi- ting him.n With her mind made up, Jean went back to school. She immedin ately went to Dick, although she thought that probably he had al- ready been invited. She jfound him in the principal's office, where he was helping Mr. Stewart, the principal. HDick,n she called exniteda ly, nlf you haven't yet been in- vited to the Girl Reserve's Party Friday night, will you go with me?n NI haven'ttmen invited,n he replied. UAnd I accept with pleasure. But why pick me when therezue so many other admirers? When shall I come after you?n nThe party begins at 7:50, Dick,W Jean said, ignoring his
