THE KILT
March 4, 1958

Dear Pam:
     I baby-sit for a real brat who really is a monster. I think I should get paid extra because he is so hard to take care of. How can I get this across to his doting mother, who thinks him a perfect angel?
MONSTER-SITTER
Dear Monster-Sitter:
     Refuse to accept any jobs involving the monster. When his mother calls, say "I'm sorry, but your child is so difficult to handle I would rather not take the job". If more sitters were absolutely honest about the behavior of the kids they look after, parents might do something about disciplining the monsters.
Dear Pam:
     My girl friend gave me a letter the other day saying she didn't like me anymore because I was too dull.
     My friends all say that this is not true and that I am not dull at all. How can I make this girl realize that she is wrong about me?
JILTED JOE
Dear Jilted Joe:
     Forget her. She obviously wants to play the field, which is quite normal. She is also inconsiderate and poor mannered. You'd do much better to convince some other girl what a charming and interesting fellow you are.
     Incidentally, are you? Check your personality traits. There might be a grain of truth in what the girl said.
Dear Pam:
     I like a certain boy very much but he doesn't know I exist. All the other girls flirt around him, and he notices them. Should I join the gang to get his attention. Or should I let fate take its course and keep on hoping?
ON THE FRINGE
Dear On the Fringe:
     Unless you want to be a member of a harem, don't join one. Mr. Big looks like he has all the attention he deserves.
     How about being adventurous and discovering someone the giddy gang has overlooked?

ANTARCTIC An eskimo's aunt
HIGHMINDED anyone who's head comes to a point
BEDROCK a rock you find in your bed
DELAPIDATE the act of removing your girl from your lap when you hear her father coming
EXTINCT deodorized
GALLERY the annex of a girls' boarding school
SNOME opposite of yes'm
GUMDROP a place to park your wad.
THIS IS NOTHING,
JUST SKIP IT
Why did you read this?
You must be crazy!
But - oh - the title -
Perhaps it is hazy.
It says to pass on
And read something new.
You'd better leave now
Here's nothing for you!
Still hanging around?
You must have flipped.
but much more than that -
I know you've been gypped!
Pam Anderson
Here's Benson's Band!
     A newcomer barging into Mr. Benson's class might easily have mistaken it for band practice. Home made instruments strewn all over the place - making it look for all the world like the "Wandering Minstrel's" coffee break.
     After studying the unit on sound, the ninth grade classes were instructed to make a musical instrument. Instruments were graded on craftsmanship, originality, and the quality of musical tones produced.
     A majority of students based their creations on the cigar box, producing banjos and fiddles. Others made primitive drums.
