TALK
ABOU1{R M
TEENERS
. by Lois Amstutz

Hi There!
Have all of yop recovered from the
tournament last Saturday night? 1t
was really thriller. Hats off to
Coach Harris and the guys, and good
luck to them tonight.
1t seems that some peoples kids
are showing great hidden literary
talents. 1t is MY prediction that they
may be very famous in the writing
field some day. They're surely off to
good start because different people
l know have received the cutest
anonymous valentines. We already
have couple of good lunches.
Jim Fisher and Nancy Steiner were
seen at the movies Sunday night.
/ want to inform some readers who
may have misunderstood our first
column attempt last week that this
is made up strictly of incidents the
school gang talk about week to week.
1t has nothing to do with education
or anything of the kind. Maybe you
would rather / should sit down and
quote Shakespeare? If you have any
good suggestions, we're listening!
Why does Pete Steiner get all
shook up at hearing Raeleen Bucher's
name being mentioned?
If you think that Mr.. Harris may
look wee bit older and see traces of
gray hair, It's just because he has
just had drivers training class.
Zeke Corson has found a new in
terest in school. Could it possibly be
j. T.?
Bod Badertsther is a little peeved
at me because mentioned his name
