Dear Annie advises on some difficult questions Dear Annie: I have a very serious problem. All of my friends drink all of my acquaintances drink also. It seems like everyone I come into contact with drinks. My problem is that I cannot stand anything from a sip of a Singapore Sling to a glass of wine. I am sick of people teasing me and making a joke of me. What can I do to make myself able to hack alcoholic beverages? Please help Annie.—Very Distressed. Dear Very Distressed: Well, the first thing you can do is tell your drinking buddies where to get off. If the stuff makes you sick, there really isn't_much_.y.ou can do about it. The same thing goes for one sip making you drunk. Eventually you would get used to the stuff, if you avoid being pressured by. your friends and take it at your own pace, or you can just flat, outright, say no It's up to you which course you take but if your friends don't un- derstand, that's their problem. Dear Annie: I have a problem that I am hoping you can solve. I am a Grade 13 student and I have a boyfriend that is now attending Western University and has only one more term to finish. He already has a job lined up and is now trying to persuade me into marrying him at the end of July. I would not mind it but I really don't want to. But I am afraid of losing him. I would really like to go to university. What can I do Annie?—Troubled. Dear Troubled: I'd_ say that__ you still have to talk to him, unless you want to keep this thing up. You're going to have to persuade .the,guy to wait, somehow, and if, he pushes you about it, you're going to havelo reassess just how you feel about the character. An Easter treat .Although Dorothy Boughen is attempting to make one of the many draws at the Clinton Early Childhood Education concert, these youngsters were more interested in the Easter Bunny. The bunny, who visited with the children and made the draws was provided by Bar'tliff's Restaurant.

What really happens to unlucky students after a long lapse in school is proof that you can't take holidays for too long. Take the Great Teachers' Strike of last year. When students returned from the "Longest March Break Ever" lockers were soon pulled apart, according to one student. Speculation tells us that the students simply forgot their combinations after many weeks of non-use. A simple check at the office would have done though. This lapse of memory, also affects students in their subjects. It has been said that after you quit taking French for five years you lose your ability in writing or speaking in that language if you don't maintain it. Memory lapses aren't much of a problem but some students seem to develop a devotion to Another World or some other soap opera. However, with programs like Sesame Street, some students actually get bored of holidays. Some people argue that your high school days will be looked upon as the best ones in your life. Do you complain of having too few holidays? The holiday structure suits me just fine. Spring formal Spring is here (or is it)? and it's the season for the annual Formal too.
