Some Teeners
Think Parents
Went All Out
By EUGENE GILBERT
It really was a merry Christmas
for nine tenths of America's high
school boys and girls.
They are satisfied with the
Christinas presents they got, they
got what they expected in most
instances, and they figure that
their parents spent about the right
amount on them or even too
much.
So, if you are one of those par
ents who had an uneasy feeling
(hat the youngsters were a bit un
happy and disappointed around the
Christmas tree relax. The per
centages are riding with you.
I can speak confidently about
(his because my surveyors across
(he nation have just talked to 760
young people. Most of them were
in lamiues ot uie middle income
bracket, but there were a good
representation both richer and
poorer.
Ninety-two per cent of those in.
lerviewed were happy with what
they got and 72 per cent figured
that their parents spent about the
right amount on them. Nineteen
per cent even figured that too
mucn had been spent.
As between girls and hnvs. it was
the latter who seemed least pleas
ed. Twelve per cent of the boys
figured that their gifts were not
costly enough, as against only 4
per cent of the girls. And 24 per
cent of the girls thought that too
much had been spent, as compar
ed with 14 per cent of the boys.
An overall satisfaction also, the
girls seemed happier but just by
a couple of percentage points.
Many of their comments were
revealing, some heart warming-
others disquieting.
"Mv parents did not get me anv-
thing," said a 19-year-old Torrance,
Calif., boy flatly. "I'm getting too
old," noted a 17-year-old Oakland,
Calif., girl. "I guess I just expect- .
ed more," was the rueful com
ment of another youngster who
didn't want his name used. "I
wanted a car, pouted an Enid,
Okla., 16-ycar-old.
But for a change of pace, listen
to those
"Gifts aren't measured," said
Linda Wilkins, 17, of New Orleans,
who thought she got the right
amount.
"My parents went without a few
things to give my sisters and me
a very nice Christmas," said Mar
ty Johnson, 16, of Spokane, Wash.
"Whatever they think is right
is all right with me," noted De
Lame Spring, 13, of Okeene, Okla.
Barbara Hall, 18, of Salt Lake
City commented her parents put
more thought than ever into her
presents because she is "harder to
please."
"They tried to give me all they
could afford," said George S.
Mackey, Jr., of DcRidder, La.
Well, Christmas is all over now,
but perhaps next year you will
approach the shopping ordeal with
more confidence.
Glide Frosh, Juniors
Given ITED Exams
Iowa Tests of Educalion Devel
opment were taken by all Glide
High School freshmen and junior
students Monday and Tuesday
of last week.
According to Robert Miller, Dean
of Men for the high school, "these
tests enable the teachers and coun
selors to keep themselves reliable
and intimately acquainted with
the educational development of .
each high school student. Also it
provides the school administration
with a more dependable and ob
jective basis for evaluating the to
tal education offering of the high
school."
The tests are given each year
at the same time to measure in
dividual students at Glide and oth
ers throughout the nation.
In a month, when the test scores
are received, a conference will be
held with each student to find
those areas in which he needs im
provement and to register correct
ly for the coming year.
Pnronts will also be sent results
of tho tests.
Federal TV Network
Possibility In U.S.
NEW YORK (AP)-James M.
I.andis, President-elect John K.
Kennedy's special assistant on
federal regulatory agencies, say
the possibility exists nf establish
ing a government television net
work. Landis, Interviewed on WNTA
TV, was asked whether he wan
prepared to push for establish
ment of government programming
to compete with commercial pro
gramming. "Not at (his stage, certainly,"
Landis replied. But he added he
could see no reason why the pos
sibility should not be explored.
Such a network, Landis said,
might be similar to the British
Broadcasting Corp., which has
government produced and con
trolled programming.
