Good Grief! Charlie Brown at BHS All over the world, "Pea- nuts" is the favourite comic- strip of children and adults alike. Charlie Brown and pany have been set to m ù,e and the entertaining resuits can be seen the last four days in Mav at Bowman- ville High School when the spring musical, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," is ;taged. - The lovable characters of cartoonist Charles, M. Schulz were adapted and "songified" by Clark Gesner in the late 60's. Since then, it has become a popular show, launching a career for one young man named Gary Burghoff, com- monly known as "Radar" in TV's "M.A.S.H.". Our "Radar" is Joseph A. (Joe, to ail his friends) Dalrymple, who will play Charlie Brown all four nights, although the rest of the cast will be interchanged to work 10 people into the remaining five roles. Along with being a famed orator (and summer strawberry salesman), Joe has a fine voice and a striped sweat-shirt, making him a natural for Charlie Brown. The rest of the cast is mixed each night. The two Linuses (Linii?) aie Gary Coombes (cute and lovable) and Tim Weekes (lovable and cute). Linus' sister, Lucy, is portray- ed by Ms. Janet Luxton and Helen Bridges. Patty is played by Anne Lynch and Heatnier Barrie (fine ladies). The greatest Beethoven fan in history, Schroeder, is portray- ed by last year's star rookie, Murray ("Cookie the Rook- ie") Cooke and John Wood, of "Oklahoma" fame. Last, but not least, Snoopy is played by the seemingly - talented- pacRed Jonn Sheridan and the unique Bill Dilling.

The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 21, 1975 3 A Teenager TeIls First-Hand Experience 0f What its Like to Be One Couple from England Here to Celebrate their Diamond Anniversary Dating years are precîous. They are years during which we develop patterns and techniques for dealing with people. A free-wheeling dating arrangement will give us confidence and teach us con- fidence and teach us social skills. The challenge of adjust- ing to new situations will keep us alert. The ability to get along with all types of personalities - even the wacky ones, will be a valuane asset throughout our lives. Only by dating a variety of people is it possible to make meaningful comparisons. We are either on Cloud 9 or behind the 8 ball at least il times a week. We alternately love and hate our parents. We want more freedom on one hand, yet on the other hand we desperately hope Mom and Dad won't let us do every fool thing we beg to do. We struggle with acne, over- weight, and underweight, wail over impossible math courses, and hunger to be popular. We die when we are left out. We want to be exactly like everyone else, right down to the skin tight jeans, platform shoes, striped socks with toes in them, or whatever happens to be "in" at the moment. Even though we may seem irresponsible at times, I believe most teenagers have one goal in mind, and that is to measure up to our parents' expectations for us to become happy and responsible adults. When asked what her own personal goals included, Sharon blushed a bit, hesita- ted and then strongly stated, "I'd like to be Prime Minister of Canada." -Port Hope Guide For parents of teenagers, tnere seem to be innumerable paradoxes to contend with, daily conflicts and the ever-- changing opinions of the teenager trying to keep up with. Sharon Farrow, a Grade 8 senior elementary student from Bowmanville, won the top public speakingdaward for the orthumberland and New- castle senior elementary class at the finals at George Hamilton School at Welcome on Monday night,May 12th. Her Topic, "What is a teenager",,delighted ithe audience and judges. Since many readers were not in attendance at the finals, we are reprinting Sharon's speech for your enjoyment. It was'a real delight to hear. Glorious teen-age years! Laughter, fun popularity, ex- citement, look alike T-shirts, hours of love talk on the telephone, romance under the stars-.1 Mister Chairman, Honor- able Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, what is a teenager? You may as well ask, "What is man?" or "What is Life?" Webster's Third New Inter- national Dictionary offers this definition. Teenager: a person between the 13 and 19 years of age, inclusive. Big Deal! To me, teenagers are human beings -who come in assorted sizes, shapes and colors. Each has his own personality, his own sense of personal worth and his own moral and ethical value sys- tem. I am a teenager who wants- to make a success of my life. I hear a great many adults talk about us teenagers in gener- alíties, as if you can lump us all together and hang a label on us. I feel 'this is unfair. All teenagers are not reck- less drivers, speed demons and make-outs. Some of us are serious, reasonably well be- haved, and we want to make the world a better place for everyone. For most young persons the teen-age years are happy and exciting. However, there are times when we must face very serious problems as we make the transition from childhood to adulthood. We are neither adults nor children. Yet, adults try to judge us by the standards that apply to child- ren on one hand and to adults on the other hand. This double standard often leads to con- flicts between us and our parents. Mothers don't under- stand why their sons and daughters have to have those friends, stay out so late, be so rude, never lift a hand in the house, and so on endlessly. Teenagers don't understand why parents can't take care of the chores themselves, and see that the cost of living effects us too. Being part of a clique and talking to your friends are almost indispensible for any teenager trying to solve per- sonal and social problems. After all, if you do have a problem, it does not seem nearly as big after you talk it over with someone. Alexander Graham Bell is our patron saint. To us the telephone is vastly more than an instrument of communi- cation. It is an emotional outlet. The tinkle of this magical gadget can send any teen into ecstacy. On the other hand a silent phone can plunge one into the cellars of despair. Blackstock W.I0 Blackstock Women's Institute Celebrates Sixtieth the ladies of Jamaica for the .
