Dear Mrs. Kicker:
Some of us teens and
our parents have been de-
batting about whether or
not sex education should
be taught in high schools.
Many Of us teen-agers, and
some parents, believe that

Grades 8 to IL for those
who wish to take the sub
ject. Others believe it is
too personal to be discussed
in a classroom. We would
appreciate your opinion
about this matter.

Many high schools through
out the country are con-
Quoting classes in sex edu-
cation and I thoroughly
approve of the idea The
dean of girls from a local
high school (where such
courses are available) told
me the faculty is very pleased
with the results. The only
problem is that the number
Of students who want to sign
up for the classes far exceeds
their present facilities.
1 think these family-living
classes are most important
because each year I receive
countless letters from young
sters complaining because
their parents will not discuss
questions pertaining to sex
with them. In my opinion.

the very fact that you are in
such unusual circumstances

would be wise for you both to

will have to choose between

Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
In a recent column there
was a letter from a boy who
said some boys and girls
prefer going steady to
playing the field" What
does playing the field"
mean?
BRENDA.
Playing the field" means
just the opposite of going
steady. For example, q. girl
might date two or three boys.
That would be playing the
field. If the boys have good
regulations 1 think this is a
much wiser dating arrange
ment for younger teen-age
girls than going steady.
