Teens prefer books for Christmas gifts For them, there are no Christmas trees, carollers, or family get togethers but rather the sticky, cold mud of the Monsoon season, the paralysis of terrifying fright, and the smell of burned flesh.

Mark Ashworth Dear Sick and Tired: I am sick and tired of people like you! All the poor boy's taste must be in his mouth. I think you are either flattering yourself by thinking a senior boy would actually like something like you or he is just naturally friendly'. Tell him again how you feel about him. He just might be doing ity as a smock. . Willy Dear Willy: Today (Dec. 6) we had a class meeting, and we chose the theme for the Senior Ball. I got really excited thinking about all the fun have in planning the dance. But alas, my hopes were crushed when I realized that all the boys were going to ask Provo women. For just this once, how can we get them to ask us BY High women? We're really not that bad looking! HELP we would 3 Dear Help: Are you sure? In acting like Gods gift to men, you fail to act like girls. Provo women act like girls, someone a boy can like and not get smocked for. You are not bad, but you are acting like you are too good to have a good time with a BYH boy, Remember, most of the girls were at the junior prom last vear. Willy Dear Willy: have a problem that has been bothering me for some time. I know that I share this problem with every other girl that has ever-beea 'senior at BY High. This problem is very simple: Why I Jp- dont the senior boys date the senior girls? Most of us are not really that bad looking. Isnt there some way we can get them to ask us to the dances? We dont want to start big love affairs: we would just like to go to a few boys choice dances this year. Please help! ASenior Girl Dear Senior Girl: Who, are you trying to kid? Does any sane person actually think a senior boy would ask someone he did not like? When a boy asks a girl out, it generally means he likes her enough to take her out and have fun. As for those love affairs (whatever that means), you could net be serious. If you are not mature enough to be liked by the opposite sex, you should see the counselors. If you do not want to go to a dance with someone you like, why do you even want to go to a dance at all? v. anted boys. s: e books, sports and seuv.i Out of 48 vT" All Wise Willy wails with witticisms Dear Willy: There is this senior boy who just wont latch off of me. All he is is a big fat casanova. and I cant stand his chubby l.ttle arm always finding my waist. I told him once I couldn't hack him, but he just thinks I say that to keep him trying. I would really like to ditch him. Help! Sick and Tired Christmas.
