She might have reasons of her
own for leaving your group and be-
coming closer to her new friend.
Perhaps, she would like to come
back, and yet doesn't want to leave
this girl out in the cold. Why not
include both of them in your
crowd? Ask her to come along
when you all 60 to the movies or
to party some night, and to bring
her pal, so that you might all get
acquainted. You may discover that
you like this new arrival, and that
it's more fun with everyone in

Teen Topics

Beware of the repeater. The guy
or gal, you know, whose patter is
exclusively, "She said he said"
Some day this record player will get
hold of something important and
private. And he'll rebroadcast it, of
course
The habit starts harmlessly enough
Teddy telephones Sue, f'rinstance,
and has good gab-fest. Then he
calls Pal Joe and repeats Sues re-
marks-with outlaws. Or Sue may
do the reporting. She'll ring up
Patty and they'll giggle over Teddy's
talk. Um-hum, girls are as bad as
boys, and vice-versa.
Naturally, 1t doesn't have to be a
phone conversation. Any sort of
sound track provides material for
the repeater-date talk, family con-
fab and all. But phone patter seems
the most susceptible. All alone at
the telephone, we're liable to go
blab-blab with condolences.
It's sad mistake, kids. Even if
your gossip partner Is trustworthy,

ever you introduce someone to an
older person. the younger is pre-
sented to the elder. II the older
friend should be a man, the rule
of the man being presented to the
woman is always applied. In ack-
nowledging an introduction, the
best reply is How do you do" Or,
If it's someone you've sincerely
wanted to meet, it's within the
bounds to say I'm very glad to meet
you" Boys always rise when in
troduced to men or women, and
remain standing until the woman
is seated, or until she leaves your
group. Girls remain seated, unless
presented to older women, when
they also rise.

Pirate Gridders Will Play Ada
At That Place This Friday Night
- ffEEE

Another severe test will face
Bluffton Highs light grid eleven this
week when the Pirates travel TO Ada
to meet strong Bulldog aggrega-
tion under the lights Friday night.
Ada looked good in Bluffton pre-
view play here two weeks ago by
topping Columbus Grove, and last
week the Hardin county crew gave
Wapakoneta beating to remain un-
defeated.
At the same time, the Pirates were
losing to Kenton, but there are high
hopes here that the locals will look
better against an Ada team that will
not carry as much weight advantage
as that packed by Kenton.
The Ada contest will be the first
of three successive out-of-town con-
tests to be played by the Bluffton
crew, and in succeeding weeks they
will meet Pandora at that place and
Van Vert on the Cougar gridiron.
