iii behalf of high school schoolgirls schoolgirls girls Just this thu When a 3 girl Irl gets on out of junior high she comes out of the thebo bo boy daze but after going on a few fen dates while In high school she feels feel sIde sick and tired of ot decorating decorating- a davenport daven daen port and wants to go places and do dc things Most 1 girls eirls are out for a rood good time and if It the they ret get a kick out of ol necking let them neck By this 1 I dont don't mean strangers may ma kiss but that they may after aUn going with a fellow fel rei low ow several months maybe mabe three times a a. week for two o weeks Or how About love at first sight ht We dont don't see Aee any harm in letting him kiss us rood good night i Im I'm not considered tough although Im I'm not so innocent but when older ohler friends see a certain girl in a show sho with a i boy friend and he lie happens to have e his hb arm around round her her Oh Oh hot hoi Do 30 you rou think Its It's right to go ro spread spread- gossip around the neighborhood Well cU I dont don't and I think I have lenty plenty of ot seconds Cco How lIoW aT about out bout it It girls I believe they were ere young once and did things mabe maybe worse I think I they're still very little and narrow when hen they cant can't find anything else to io talk about What's the matter with the weather the depression the new household goods or man many other things Well VeIl maybe someone might have Deceived helpful advice ice In a letter written In the space that Ive I've taken liP up but we high school girls need our expressed and we all wish Ish you ou much happiness in the ne new year l IA TOO MAYBE i If Ie yoU want to make sure sUle that your critics r tics were once young Too Maybe Modern l all you ou have to do is to Ret et a book on etiquette published at atthe atthe atthe the time they were in their hey h y day and read the criticisms hurled against the generation o of brazenness and impertinence im irn pertinence as they were called by their elders ciders who wrote the books Some of oC them were even so 50 degenerate degener ate as to meet their boy friends at atthe the thi home of a friend and engage in conversation with them when not n the presence of a chaperone Some of cf them even dared go driving in a phaeton on public streets without a chaperone and horror of or horrors one me spinster even let a man carry carr her her from a burning building when she was almost suffocated with smoke and md no formal Introduction had first beers been effected between them They were ere a tough lot and they had the old ones on their necks just justas as you have them now And did they kiss each other In the olden days days' Well VelI they had to sneak away from the vi vigilance of ot the chaperone chap- chap crone if it they did thus doubling their crime We suspect that the elders will always always always al al- al- al ways be bc a self appointed vigilance committee over the young and that the young will always resent it Each generation finds some new way of ot expressing ex cx pressing its freedom that makes the thc generation older think the new is going to the dogs After all freedom freedom free free- dom dam is sweet swe t if you know how to use it in order not to be en enslaved laved by its misuse To be self reliant and wholly responsible rc re for your own conduct is experience of a valuable nature na providing providing pro pro- viding you let it prove to be of worth and do not let it shackle you for fot the remainder of your our days We believe in you ou and trust you ou and feel sure you know how to take care of yourselves your your- our selves some selves some of you youl UNHAPPY EXPERIENCE Dear Miss Blair 1 I have Ibave been reading the
