Dear Miss Grey: I have
read the answers to Rebel"
with much interest and some
amusement, but the sweeping
statements of "A High School
Girl" arouses my wrath.
| know from experience
that the nice girl is not out
of date. My own clothes are
neither loud nor too prim, my
manners on the same order,
and | am what we term in
High, a SHARK in my
studies. Dances. joyrides and
unchaperoned parties are UNI
known quantities to me, and
yet | have more boy friends
of sterling worth who are
ready to give me pleasure
than any girl who is loose or
"a good sport"
If girls, young and old,
would think more about
themselves as human beings
associating with other human
beings in a Jolly good world
together they would find less
to criticise and more to enjoy.
Be your own sweet self,
Rebel" and to all the regi-
ment of rebels" l quote these
lines of Burroughs:
/ rave no more 'gainst Time o
Fate,
or 10! my own shall come to me.
