Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1946)

laugh over it with your brother. Try to see his side of it; try to remember that he has been through a course of training so complex that by comparison it makes high school geometry seem as simple as a baby’s abacus. He means well in regard to your dates. You can be sure he has seen grim things happen to girls your age. Perhaps your mother can straighten him out on this. But remember that he loves you or he wou'dn’t bother with trying to give you military training. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: I am fourteen years old and in ninth grade at school. We girls have a club that meets once a week and once a month we have some sort of a simple little party. Last month we decided to invite our entire football team. Our best player this year is a colored boy who is a very nice person and a lot of fun. You should hear him play a piano! When we had everything set we voted on the member of the faculty who was to be invited to chaperone us. When we asked the teacher selected, he asked us for our guest list, which we showed him. When he saw that we had invited our best football player and musician, this teached simply said, “I will not chaperone a party where he is to be a guest.” Now, our problem is, what do you think we should do in a case of that kind? Harriet G. Dear Miss G: Thank you so much for writing to this column about your problem, which is a very real, tremendously important one. I do not feel that I am well informed enough on matters of school policy throughout the United States to give an opinion on the behavior of this teacher from the standpoint of instructions he may have received from his principal or his school board. / can only say that I think he behaved badly when judged from a humanitarian standpoint. I should be deeply grateful to other teachers throughout the United States, if — busy and hard pressed as they are — they would write to this column, telling how they have solved a similar problem. Perhaps, by comparing notes, we shall arrive at a happy method of using Christian principles in scholastic life.
