TEEN-AGE MAIL
By DOROTHY KICKER

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
/ am a senior in high
school and haven't gone on
n date yet. 1t just seems
that girls don't fit into my
picture Of high school.
Many Of my friends say
I am missing something that
Ill never get TO do again.
At the prom last year | just
sat around and talked to
some Of the boys. Should i
wait until l can find a place
In my life for dating or
should 1 force myself 10
date? If so, how should i
start?-Jack.
Dear Jack:
While l think it is very
to take YOU
school work seriously I do thinl
you should have some form OF

to comment when they do not
have proper background. Ger
tain things children say should
never be printed"
The principal added that
teen-agerS are not mature
enough to have sound opinions
and that when given the OPP
portunity to comment publicly
they voice "gripes."
TEEN had asked outstanding
graduating senior and college
freshmen who attended Dis
trict high schools. What's
Wrong With Washington High
Schools?"
Among their suggestions for
improvement were:
o More time for counseling
o Scheduled final examina-
tions.
0 Courses in how to study.
o Better training in writing
and grammar.
One point raised by students
-counseling brought the
strongest statements from Dis
trict school officials.
Cedric o. Reynolds. principal
Of Coolidge High School. said:
"Our counSelors are outstand-
ing. AS an example, I'd like to
point out that our students dc
phenomenally we'll in college
and 1 use the adjective ad-
visedly.

Excellent Teaching

"This is proof to me-" Mr..
Reynolds continued, that by
and large students are getting
excellent teaching and counsel
ing at Coolidge High School"
He remarked that there are
two counselors at Coolidge and
that they have a gigantic job"
In serving the needs of l,5OO
students.
Mr.. Reynolds pointed out
that last year approximately
1000 student transcripts were
sent to college. And to date, he
said, $40 transcripts have been

CounseHng

Miss Grace johnson. one OF
the counselors at Coolidge, said
she is responsible for nearly
900 students. Miss Johnson
points out that proportionately
there are more counselorS per
student in many Virginia and
Maryland schools.
Her technical training is
typical of counSelors in Wash
ington high schools: She holds
a masters degree and has
taken advanced graduate work
in counseling. Before she be-
came a counselor. Miss john
son taught for many years in
District schools.
She said her job often re-
quires her to work late after
school. But, she added, Il don't
mind it."
Mrs. Elva C. Wells, principal
of Roosevelt High School, said
the point should be made that
every one in the school-from
the principal DOWNS reSpon-
sible for counseling students.
Il consider counseling one of
my most important functions
as a principal" Mrs. Wells
said. 1T is not just the person
who bears the title counselor
who gives advice to students,
but all of U.s."
She said she agreed with
students that regularly sched-
uled final examinations are an
asset.
Il find it absolutely neces-
sary to schedule such tests, "
she said. They stimulate both
pupils and teachers to better
work.

Study Courses

About courses in chow to
study" DR.. Hansen said:
There doesn't seem to be clear
evidence that how to study
courses are effective. This
should be done by individual
teachers. For one thing, tech
niques of study vary with the
subject matter being taught.
What apparently we ought
to do" he continued, =" is point
up the Importance of study
ItechniqueS through the super
visors of the department heads
in various subject fields so that
this can be done more systema-
tically by all teachers. I think.
however. that all outstanding
teachers do this.
"One of the problems" he
said, "is that it is not always
easy in the early student years
to obtain student cooperation.
Unfortunately. in many cases
students don't realize the i'm
portance of what they are

Commenting on TEENS Sc
ries on Washington public
high schools, DR.. Carl F. Han
sen, acting superintendent OF
schools, said:
"The comments of students
will be helpful because they
point up areas in which we
ought to improve"
On the other hand. prin-
eipal of a District high school
(who requested that her name
not be used, stated:

1t appears that you have been
sort of lone wolf up until now
which is all wrong. In my opin-
ion, the too-serious or book
worm type of youngster is as
far off base as the play-boy or

Jack, you should have a variety
of interests. both serious and
recreational. if you are to be-

Dear Brokenhearted:
The boy should have checked
with you at least two or three
days before the dance. Since
you hadn't heard from him I
think you were right in pre-
suming he was not going to
keep the date. After all, since
you had not dated him before
and he has the reputation of
being a playboy, how could you
be sure what he was going to
do? I am inclined to suspect
that he either did not know he
was supposed to call earlier or
he forgot it until the night of
