Dear
Pam, |
Who
are you anyway? Is Pam Flanders your real name? It sounds
sort of made up. |
--Curious |
Dear
Curious, |
In
the words of the Bard - "What's in a name? A rose
by any other name would smell as sweet." |
Incidentally,
is your name really Curious? If so, How curious! |
--Pam |

Dear
Pam, |
When
should a boy or girl start thinking of a future career? |
--Just
Wondering |
Dear
Just Wondering, |
Some
fortunate people discover the career they want to follow
early in life. Others flounder for a long time. |
Each
one of us seems to show a particular ability in some
field. Try to select a career to match your ability
and personality because your success will be largely
dependent upon the satisfaction you derive from your
work. Not, as some people think, by the amount of money
you make. |
The
Deans at Glenridge will be happy to discuss a possible
career with you. |
--Pam |

Dear
Kissable Kate, |
Sensible
people save this gesture of affection for a few special
people. If you start passing kisses around like door
prizes they become meaningless and cheap. |
You
know the dummies they use in football to practice tackles
on? Make sure you aren't being that kind of dummy in
this kissing business. When the boys got into a real
game the dummies are left behind. |
While
we're on this subject -- those of you who sit in the
show and try to compete with the love scenes on the
screen are putting yourselves in teh category of freaks
in the Side Show. |
At
your age affection should be expressed in casual good
fellowship. You are definitely not ready for single
dating in dark corners. |
--Pam |
***************************** |
Dear
Pam. |
I
like a boy in my homeroom. How do I let him know that
I like him? Don't tell me to wait and let him find out
-- I've tried that and it doesn't work. What do I do? |
--Eager |
Dear
Eager: |
If
the object of your affections had to have your feeling
for him beaten out on the war drums there is something
radically wrong with his receiving mechanism.
Of course, it is possible
that he does get your message and isn't prepared to
recipricate. Ever think of that? In which case it is
far better to beat a dignified retreat. |
--Pam |
