LOUISA'S LETTER J : gg

Dear Louisa, My daughter is a junior in a small college not far from our town. We are a bit worried over what she wishes to do this coming year. It is this: She and two other young ladies would like to rent an apartment close by the college and live there instead of in the dormitory. These other girls seem to be very nice and wholesome and our daughter has never given us any trouble so we are not worried about them as far as morals are concerned, the only thing that disturbs us is the fact of their traveling back and forth at night to the library with so much crime in the cities and we hear of muggings and rapes every day. What do you think about this?

They will find that the work of keeping an. apartment clean and preparing food takes a great deal of time and that-the work should be fairly shared. They should have rules by all three thoroughly understood and agreed upon before undertaking such a change. Always have a companion for night visits to the college. Louisa

takes a lot more time to prepare than what most people assume. She said she would advise anyone interested in participating in apageant to start planning far in advance. Girls in the area are notified of the contest through the mail, and if they chose to participate they’re expected to get a sponsor. The sponsor donates $350 toward the event, though Shelly felt that it “was a little steep for just one business.” She, therefore, split the fee between several businesses and industries, and wore a “Miss Wawasee” banner. The Indiana pageant is a preliminary to Miss Teen USA, televised nationally by CBS in July. Winner of the Miss Indiana Teen pageant received a three-week, expense-paid trip to the national finals. Shelly stated she was particularly impressed by the people she’d met, and felt that it was an exciting experience, and particularly enjoyed talking with Miss Indiana. Though she hasn’t yet decided exactly what career she will be pursuing, after her pageant experience, she knows that she is not interested in modeling. “The girls with modeling careers discussed different facets of their jobs explaining their diets and strenuous exercise,” commented Shelly, “and I knew that wasn’t the life for me. But I was even more surprised at the attitudes ot the various pageant winners. They were just such nice people. Not at all what I’d expected.” Shelly explained that she'd learned a lot about other high schools and people in general, and would advise anyone who had the determination to do it, to go ahead and enter a pageant just for the learning experiences.
