And Teeners can exercise. Most schools have gyms and I heartily ad- vocate your joining.

Posture is a part of beauty; as you stand, so you walk. So posture is of prime importance for Teeners and Oldstern and in-betweeners!

Maintenance of the postwar United States Navy at its current strength and a large naval reserve is recommended by Flort Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., "to guarantee a sound, fair and lasting peace.”
