WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1967 THE HIGHLANDER Date Bureau Closed - Saipan tes SF. ~~ + Until ‘68 - ‘69 By ALTON RICHARDS The Date Bureau is activated only every other year. The juniors will not get another chance to benefit from its service since it will not be opened until the school year of 1968-69. During the summer months you will not be seeing very many students and you will find that dates are hard to come by. You will probably regret at that time that you have not used the Bureau to acquire a repertoire of dating companions. If you have registered, you may be very pleasantly surprised to find out who your admirers are. I hope you haven’t rejected this golden opportunity to find out the names of six or eight wonderful people who would like to have a date with you. Treat yourself to the priceless companionship of the nice people in this school. Don’t let life pass you by. Opportunity will never knock as loudly as it is knocking right now. Start living. Start enjoying life. Start having some good clean fun with these . charming and fascinating people. Uncle Sam will grab you boys very soon and put you in Vietnam or station you on Wake Island, 5,000 miles from the nearest girl. You will live to regret that you did not enjoy the company of these sweet girls when you were at Ben Lomond with 800 of them available. Even students who go steady should want to use the facilities of the Bureau in order to have a few companions to fall back on in case of quarrels. Variety is the spice of life. Life is much more interesting with a frequent change of partners. It presents a greater challenge, a thrilling uncertainty, the suspense of a new experience. Life can become very boring with the same companion all the time. Why hamper yourself with a ball and chain? Why imprison yourself with the same person day after day? Start dating other people. Come out of your little shell and view the whole wide beautiful world. Become more experienced-and more sophisticated. Begin to enjoy the association of many fascinating people. Can it be that you continue to go with the same person all the time because you are afraid you can’t get anyone else? Do you suffer from an acute inferiority complex? What has happened to your self-confidence?

Through the aid of the Date Bureau, you can search out these people. This year the Date Bureau has provided hundreds of dates, started dozens of happy friendships, provided escorts for numerous girls, supplied many lonesome boys with lovely girl friends, and started a great many sweet love affairs that may eventually end in happy marriage. Our school is probably the only institution in Utah that operates a Date Bureau. We can be very proud of the achievements of our school.
