and color but are alike in
some ways. We each wrote a
story about them and drew a
picture of our story.
Mrs. M a r i e c e Lindsay's
third grade has completed a
unit on transportation. In the
unit we learned how import
ant transportation is to us to
day. We studied about all of
the modern ways of transpor
tation in our country and also
about travel in some coun
tries where animals are still
used. We cut travel pictures
from magazines and made a
large wall chart. Each of us
also made a large drawing
showing one or more ways of
traveling. We had a film on
Air Travel and also many
colored filmstrips on modern
transportation. On Wednes
days and Fridays we have
rhythms in PE class. We all
enjoy folk dancing much.
In art class we practiced
cutting snowflakes. We
learned that real snowflakes
always have six points or
sides, and in order to get a
perfect snowflake, the paper
must be folded carefully. We
mounted our best snowflakes
for wall decorations. We also
made snow scenes, using cut
and torn p-per.
. In language class we are
learning to write letters. A
letter must have each of its
five parts written in a cer
tain place and in a certain
way in order to be correct.

Arnold J. I am 18 and a
high school senior. I haven't
dated much because I am not
a good dancer and not very
forward with girls.
Recently I met a girl at a
school sports event and start
ed talking to her. I liked her a
lot and asked her out. We dat
ed a couple of times. Then I
found out she was' only 13
She looks like 17 at least and
is quite intelligent.
I want to keep dating her.
She has told her parents that
I am 16. I look young for my
age. Mv mother says I
shouldn't go out with such a
kid, but I can't see any harm
in it..
Mrs. L. J. I am afraid
there'll be trouble if he goes
out with such a youngster.
After all, a girl of 13 is only
a child, no matter how she
looks.
I am also upset about the
girl's lying to her parents. I
trust Arnold to behave prop
erly, but the girl must be pret
ty forward to get herself
dates with an older boy and
lie like that to her parents.
She has told Arnold her par
ents don't understand her, so
she doesn't care about lying
to them. She says she can't
stand kids.
I would like to see Arnold
go out with girls more, but
not under these conditions.
The Council: We're sorry,
Arnold, but we must agree
with Mother. The mere fact
that this girl has found it nec
essary to lie to her parents is
a fair indication that this re
lationship bodes no good for
either of you.
Arnold and his girl friend
are experiencing one of the
most difficult problems of adolescence-girls
. mature earli
er than boys. We don't doubt
that the 13-year-old girl finds
boys of her own age or a little
older too childish and that
Arnold is somewhat fright
ened by the seemingly grown
up young ladies of his own
age, but the discrepancy be
tween 13 and 18 is still too
great in those fast-moving ad
olescent years.
Arnold will find himself
unable to bring his girl friend
into his own crowd. It would
quickly be learned that the
girl doesn't even go to high
school and she cannot possi
bly keep up socially with the
others in his group. On the
other hand, Arnold will find
it beneath his level to go out
with her friends.
This means that these two
teenagers will have to always
date alone and that isn't a
good plan for either of them.
Adolescents need group asso
ciations to keep the talk go
ing. They need the presence
of others to take a little of
the strain out of their rela
tionship. Group activities help
them develop the ability to
mingle with the opposite sex
as mature, civilized individ
uals. They should develop this
ability before they consider
marriage.
On the other hand, a boy
and girl of the age of Arnold
and his girl friend give one
another certain false gratifi
cations that do not help either
of 'them develop as human
beings. Just as Arnold feels
like a big shot when this pret
ty young girl looks up to him,
she feels terribly flattered
and grown up because she has
attracted an older boy. The
relationship begins and ends
there. They do not share ac
tivities, friends, interests and
the next step is boredom or
sex play. It would be best to
call a halt before that stage.
