 gear' (helmet) from the Variety store, and they do not want to Jet U for me 

 They scold me whenever I ask for it. That is why I am mad at my mother 

 and refuse to try for good grades in school. Perhaps you can speak ^ my 

 mother about that. If they get me the football helmet I will speak up in claTs 

 Keallylwill. It costs 98 cents." "

 around, while only a few boys are loose. Aliquae puellae adhuc ludum litterarum 

 frequentantes cum viris adultis concumbunt."] *

Publicity and humiliation.— "I did not tell the truth to my parents either 

 I was afraid of what they might do to me." [At this point, Hitcu :y Kutask- 

 (w)elva said with some bitterness: "Some people don't care what they do 

 to children."] Dixerunt quidam— utriusque generis adulti-matri meae me 

 futuisse, sed ilia (primo) non credidit. She thought maybe I just had some
