A girl points out that "going steady" is a prestige deal at first, but inevitably leads to a feeling of being left out Of nor- mal fun, because you're segre- gated. It ends, she warns, in one of two things: a too-early, tragic marriage; or bitter argu- ments and recriminations, just like being married. You can't win, it seems, * * On making friends. One young lady, with a mind like a cold chisel, observes that we never really look for friends -- only for love and security. The same girl suggests wryly that, "Some old friends should be savored; others should be severed," On noise in daily life. They like it. Tuned to a noisier so- ciety than the ones in which we grew up, they thrive on the squeal of tires, the squawk of the transistor, the shrilling of the telephone and the thump of the jukebox. Although one lad remarks, "Those signs at the street corners which sp ell STOP don't necessarily mean Squeal Tires On Pavement." On manners. Good manners are a must, the essence of so- ciety. They are based not merely on politeness, but on consideration for others. On teachers. Pretty vile things, but not so bad, on look- ing back. They detest the grouch, the sarcasm artist, and the person who can't control a class. They like the teacher who combines courtesy, common sense, reason, a sense of hu- 'mor, and professional compe- tence. On leaving school. Even the lunks and the renegades of boys feel an overwhelming, almost indescribable, sense of loss and sadness. But it's mingled with a certain eagerness to take on the big world. Are these young people dif- ferent from their parents at the same age? Yes, on the surface. They seem more confident, bet- ter adjusted, tougher. They are definitely less inhibited, in thought, word and deed. Which is not a bad thing. They ap- .Watch our windows for special weekend .bargains .Jiine 20, 21 and 22.

Mr. and Mrs. A, FL Wilkin- son of Water St., Lucan, cele- brated their 38th wedding an- niversary quietly last Monday at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Howell, London.

A silence fell over the 150 spectators as father and small daughter made the trip safely, but the applause, on reaching their destination successfully, startled "Cindy" and surprised Susan and she was thrown to the ground but fortunately not injured. Probably the fact that "Dus- ty" and "Cindy" are such pals and accustomed to racing to- gether, may have had something to do on their winning this event. Several car loads of Lucan- ites, attended the tea and bazaar in the Parish Hall of St. Pat- rick's Anglican Church, Saints- bury last Wednesday.

Twelve years ago last Sep- tember, their Mothers watched with a mingling of smiles and tears as a hundred children set off for their first day at school„ The little girls were curled and ribboned and starched and ador- able. The little boys were scrubbed and slicked and scared. This month, the remnants of those 100 tots, and thousands like them, will graduate from Grade 12, their school days just a nostalgic ache. Fewer than half of the original hundred are still together. Some have failed and been left behind. Oth- ers have quit school and gone to Work, some because they wanted to, some because they had to. One is in reform schbol. An- other was killed in an accident. Two are married. Seven of the original hundred will go on to university. Five of these will graduate, The re- maining thirty or forty will be swallowed up by banking, nurs- ing, industry, business. Within a few years they will be parents, citizens, taxpayers. * * * Perhaps one will be an alco- holic. Three will be divorced. One boy will enter politics. One girl will enter a mental institu- tion. But most of them will be up to their ears in life, even as you and I. What kind of people are they right now, as they prepare to break out of the shell of school and home and stand on the wind- swept plains of adult living? What do they feel? Are they bet- ter than we were, or worse? Far be it from me to boast that I can see clearly into that maze of emotion and imagina- tion that makes up the teenage mind. But as their E ngl i sh teacher, reading their last es- says, I learn a lot about them. One thing they are is pretty honest. Thus, I get a peek into that murky maze occasionally. Join me.
