Address your questions to:

or In care of this paper.
Dear Dan: Do you see any,
thing wrong with a 13-year-olo
girl being a tomboy? l DOM
have any boy friends because
I'm one but l dc have a 10,
OF girl friends and they all
think I'm a nut. : JEANETTE.
Dear Janette: Don't worry
about bing a tomboy and don't
worry about boy friends. AS
you lose the former, you'll
gain the latter. | wish more
l3-year-old girls would con.
centrate on being tomboys
than on trying to be II and
18 years old. But you IS well
know now, one Of these bri.
ght mornings you're going to
wake up and realize being a
girl isn't so bad either. Why?
Because some boy will look
at you in the school hall and
your tOmboyish meart is go.
ing to go thud, thud, zow!
Dear Dan: l would like to
correspond with girls of IL
to IL and promise to answer
all ltters. I'm Judy Kroggel
and my address is 1920 Noble
Street, Anderson, Ind, 46014.
Dear Dan: l go to our local
dances every Friday night
and enjoy myself except for
this one BOY who is always
there. He's out of school and
has nothing but a wild repu-
lation and l refuse to have
anything to do with him. Sim
&c he started noticing me, I've
made excuses for not dancing
with him when he asked but
I'm all out of them now. None
of my friends like him either
and we want to know what to
say. We don't want to stop
going to the canteen just be-
cause of him. : Connie.
Dear Connie: A polite "No,
thank you," should be your
three little words to his dance
Invitation. He'll probably
want to know your reason
after several refusals and a.
gain, just as politely, say,
III just don't want to-" If
he still insists, see one of your
lchaperones.
Dear Dan: What chance
does a boy without wheels
have with girls? l can start
to date in October but it will
be another eight months be-
fore l can get my drivers lie
ense and l want to know what
1.-THE girls think of a boy who
tasks for a date and doesn't
have a car? f. No Wheels.
Dear No WheelS There
are a few girls in every high
school who won't date a boy
unless car transportation is
Furnished but they are the
small minority. The bulk OF
the girls don't care one way
or another and if a girl does
Insist on a car, she's probably
not worth dating anyway. A
mother percentage of girls
don't car-date. So you see, you
can't lose.
Dear Dan: How can schools
tell students what they can
and can't wear to classes?
TINS year our high school is
reinforcing a rule against jeans
flor boys. Last year at least
l6O per cent of the boys wore
them and I don't think the
principal has the right to tell
|us how to dress. Dc you? Some
of the teachers don't look too
lsharp. : Jean Wearer.
Dear Jean Wearer: You've
got your answer in the 50
per cent figure you mention
led. The privilege of blue jeans
was being abused and your
principal apparently decided
enough was enough.
You might be interested to
know the national trend in
both elementary amp high
schools is away from jeans
and other such type of "cas-
ual" clothing. l think it's a
good idea.
Dear Dan: My friends and
Ii would like to have some
pen pals. We are Gail Zebre,

mont, Pa; Susan Foster, 10,
1921 West Laurel Street, Ire
mont, Pa; and Peggy Boyer,
