Could you give me ame suggestions as to how I can make and choose intimate friends? Your Hi-School Niece. Dear Niece: The most Important question Is, do you get along well With others? This is one of the most essential arts of living. Can you detect boredom in a listener even though it Is camouflaged with politeness? You must be able to interpret many signs shown in facial expressions posture, and varied muscular activities as well as in spoken words. In high school you are faced with bigger opportunities for making new acquaintances and friends, and because of this, you learn to understand people better and Improve your ability to get along with them happily and effectively. Because high school boys and girls are inclined to restrict themselves to the "old gang" through high school, outsiders may feel they are encountering barriers and feeling embarrassed, assume the 'I-don't-care" attitude. This makes it more difficult for them to make friends. Tried and true friendship should be cherished, but should not keep you from gaining new friends. All normal people desire intimate friends with whom they can share their thoughts and feelings. Such friendships have effects on our personalities. When choosing your friends consider the following list of "essentials": many interests in common, similar standards of conduct, good sportsmanship, good manners, unselfishness, willingness to give and take, loyalty and dependability, thoughtfulness others, of neatness of appearance, of sense humor. No one fits your standard perfectly. Do not try to reform your friends suit to yourself. Since friendship mutual is a process, your first task try is to to bring yourself into line as as far possible with the standards you have set for your friends. If you have any questions on the school customs or if you would to meet like someone, you can get In touch with the Welcome committee of tral Cen- High through Mrs. Taylor. Aunt Sally Dear Pupils: If you have any questions on colleges, careers, on manners, on jobs, or on good taste, write to me and I will try to answer them. Names will be kept in confidence. Aunt Sally. School Alert... To show that Central pupils are alert to the activities, the following note was found in the contribution box. Why doesn't the hospitality committee get one of Central's good printers to print a sign for the desk in the hall and leave it some place so the girl that takes charge could set it on the desk?

SNAKE CHARMER The other column, so it is evident, does not like this column. ell, we, on the other hand, do not overrun ourselves to declare our love for any high-binder, with his nose to the grindstone, looking for a puss full of mud. At least this column is not a verbatim copy of the sport pages In the daily papers. He's so Ignorant he thinks a microbe is an Irish nightie. He's so low he could sit on a cigarette paper and dangle his legs. Women are the scourge of the earth. They are a necessary evil. Men were born to be suckers. That's their nature. And women, vile creatures that they are, take advantage of us. It is the man's place to rule-not the women's. Take away all makeup and dress them in clothes similar to each other. You will see that person for person women do not compare with men for beauty. AIN'T LOVE GRAND? Ellen Gaffney and Jimmy Flannery are hitting it off pretty high these days, from what is heard. We hear they make a delightful couple. ANGEL FACE Kay Abel was talking about an accident they had had. Their car had gone Into the river. She had gone for help. On the way back she saw her male companion lying in the road. "We pumped water out of him. He came to, saw me, and thought he was heaven." Tsk. Tsk. We don't hear much of the twins, June and Joyce Johannes, lately. Evidently their domestic troubles with Don MacLennan and George Torgerson are nil. This quartette must be getting along rather famously, I should say. Where does Don Manthe get his way with women? Drop around some time, Don, and give the boys a few pointers. Some of them need it. By the way, how are you coming along with the little girl from the East Side? How do you keep track of her? SPECIAL NOTE This column and paper hereby absolves itself from any responsibility of arguments or brawls caused by anything herein printed. We anticipate a few disgruntled readers. Mr. "Wild Bill" Marsh states that is a story of two young girls In business. "Grandma Called It Carnal" Banon, is a cleverly written story about the author's grandmother who fought the 20th century and all its modern innovations. "Wind Over Wisconsin" by August Derleth (that rising young author from Sauk City) can be had in the library now. For the Intelligentsia (?) we have "Windows on the World" (presents world movements, fascism, communism, etc) by Gould, "Government in Action" by Keohane, and Mann's "The Coming Victory of Democracy," both of whose titles are self-explanatory. Another book on different order than the preceding (it's 10-1 that the only people who will use it are the group I am now referring to, that's why I am mentioning it now-whew) is a guide to pronunciation called "You Don't Say" by Holt. For athletic-minded (not that they couldn't be In the deep-thinking group -it takes brains to be an athlete) a "Book of Major Sports" by Hughes has been installed In the library. It covers the four major sports, basketball, football, baseball, and track. The people with the how-to-winfriends-and-influence-people complex will be greatly helped by Wright's "Getting Along With People," and for those who look longingly at their class presidents or club leaders and vow someday they will be one, "The Art of Leadership" by Tead will boost them along. I almost dread mentioning poetry but now that spring is approaching (young people's fancy turning to-well -you know) I feel justified. Besides, a little poetry doesn't hurt anybody, not even you. For those who would like to compose it (well, there are some) Wrlnn's "BHllow Reed" is an excellent book. This book.teaches writing and ap ation and, has poist - Sa: as nn : (ah, you din'tL tink- thr wr left, dId yo). any not long ago the men used to elih . their women to the house or something and tet them and do allaorts of horrible things.

And for the fine showing they've made so far they deserve a banquet. Then Artie can bring Lois, Jack Derr can bring Ann Lucille annon, and Slug can bring Alice Devereaux. The rest of youse gze can bring your gals and everybody can eat! What red-headed sophomore whose initialsare A. . and another boy whose Initials are D. S. followed what girl into the girls' dressing room one day by accident one fine day not so long ago? The other writer has been called a "Pepperbox" by a radio announcer. Well, the announcer had the right idea. Pepper, according to the dictionary, means a pungent spice. Pungent, In turn, means biting, sarcastic, cstie. Agreed unanimously. What has become of "Nancy Lathermouth" Lansdowne's permanent. Listen, "Hoss," why don't you try some neat's-foot oil or some Samson's super saddle soap for sore sorrel saddles-or better still, a curry comb? JUST IMAGINE Ed Sticka with his hair combed. Jeanette Hansen getting all "Ft." Sheldon Wengel without Beverly Munchow. Bob Meyer without Alice Kennison. Speaking of Bob and Alice, not long ago at the Chanticleer they announced the first wedding anniversary of the two. (Congrate and best wishes.) (I merely state what I hear.) What is Joyce Switzkey doing with that marriage license she has? We hope that these things don't become the vogue-or do we? SPECIAL NOTES FROM SPECIAL AGENTS Charley "Tex" Christiansen has a smooth way with women. He is a combination of Tyrone Power and Richard Greene. He makes both of these look sick when he swings Into action. If you don't believe me, ask Evelyn Swanson. Bryant Rolsum and Mary Schirowhat's happened to-them? They don't seem to get along -like they used to. Bryant seems to have an interest in a certain N. M. There are a couple of girls, a certaIn R. M. and a certain E. 0. who are having a little difficulty over a couple of guys G. M. and G. B., respectively. Their home room (the girls') is 120. A QUESTION- Do you think a girl has to neck to be popular? No, bat it helps. You should see Tim Brown rhumba. He was down in Bermuda for a while and now - well, they're thinking of lining the floor with asbestos. The agents inform me that John "J. D." Leonard is no longer in the back seat since that brute from West left Marjorie Clark with only reminiscences. J. D. is now confronted by only K. S. who lives on Sidney street. He is a Central alumnus. LAST RESORT If you have any contributions for this column please label it "For Debris or Not Debris." Of course, such contributions cannot be returned. I will include them as far as I can. Bat! They gotta be good and worth reading. Nothing like the "Greasy Greek" prints. DEFINITIONS Effeminate-30 seconds.
