The cover
How wonderful it is to be full of youthful vim and vitamins, and go forth to gambol in the refreshing climate of winter. It is even more wonderful to sit in a warm office and look at a picture of somebody else doing so. Thank you, John Clymer. Looking closer, one observes that the youthful frolic is following a course customary in mixed company; the more romantic boys are showing what girls they like best by belting them with snowballs, and the girls are shrieking with displeasure, showing how pleased they are at such chivalrous attention. This is a typical early manifestation of the battle of the sexes. Nothing to worry about, unless a misdirected missile should make contact with the school window, which would do no good to the glass or the mood of the pedagogue behind it.
