teams in three counties and won three

games were with Cove
Creek, Fleetwood and Jefferson.

Dear Madoraoiselle: U
I'm in deep distress. Last week all
the good-looking boys were wild over H
jrac. Tuesday morning I came to school IB
, happy as could be. expecting all of i B
I them to hover around me, but to my IB
disappointment as I walked around! 2
| the building several time, they acted B
as if they didn't see me but T knew B
they did. How can I make them conic fig
iback to me? Do I have "B. O."? 8
?"AIN'T 1 A FLOP."
Dear "Ain't I a Flop":
If it isn't "B. O." then it must be B
| halitosis. Buy some Inlister and Boy- B
! life and if they don't come then don't 9
blame it on them. You were ar. old 55
maid in the cradle.

jDcar Madamoiselle:
Please tell me why i never have any
' girl friends. T use all the soaps, ioi
tions, razor blades, mouth wash, hair
; tonic, ar.d such stuff, but they never
seem to have much effect on the fail
' sex. I also write poetry.
JOHNNY FETCHUM.

T would advise you to stop using

I be sure to get results. No one would
be like you for what high school boy
over had a beard?
