ET -'-'--- ---- 1 9 OLLI-:PAW zz ------ --------- rn Dear Ima Senior: Is it all right for a small High School boy like mc. to attend dances, if his mother goes along to chaperone? -Pierce B. Why certainly, Pierce, or if your mother cannot go, it is proper to go in company of some nice Senior girl. Dear Ima Senior: I am a High School teacher and am a veritable Beau Brummel. I have gone with every one of tlie teachers who will go with me, but in spite of my good looks I do not seem able to retain their affections. Please advise me how to overcome my fickleness. fflsittle Leonard. I would advise you to let them all alone for a while and cease keeping late hours and be a good example to your students.

I am in love with two girls. Each is a very nice young lady. One has dark hair and the other is a blonde. They are both very good basketball players. How can l retain the love of each? -Dick W. The only thing I can see for you to do, is to take both when you want to go places and make love to neither. But beware of blondes, they are most fickle.

The fliwers were singing sweetly, the birds were in full bloom, Vvhilc I went clown the cellar steps to sweep an upstairs room. The time was Tuesday morning, on Xveclnesday, just at night: I saw a thousand miles away, a house just out of sight. The walls projected backwards: the front was in the back: It stood between two others, and all were whitewashed black. -YWalter and Bob.????? Cwe happen to know they did not write it, but we thought that we would humor them and have it printed.,
