It seems reasonable that parents and other citizens would want to have a Student's Hand Book of Informa- tion. One such book has been distrib- uted to students at Red Bluff Union High School. If recent parents have not had the opportunity to read through this very important epistle, now may be the time for becoming familiar with the requirements of RBUHS. Red Bluff Union High School, 1203 Franklin Street, Telephone 556, Handbook revised by Miss Vera Hoellwarth, June, 1941. Yes, The Handbook was distributed to all stu- dents in the year of 1941. The book consists of 113 pages, all to be read by students and parents. It was a few years later when I attended Red Bluff Union High School and I do not recall being given such a handbook. A num- ber of Teachers were listed, who con- tinued to teach into the 1950's. Descriptions of high school requirements filled 108 pages and an Index covered five more pages.

The Tourist And The Robins Are Now With Us CORNING, March 16 — Tourists, like the robins, are appearing in Corning in unusual numbers at a much earlier date than usual, though there is yet several feet of snow in the Shasta region. The state highway has been kept sufficiently clear to admit of all winter travel. — March 17, 1922 Dear Annie: Ten years ago, I fell in love with ''Brandon'' and had the two happiest years of my life. Then he changed. We broke up, and I found out he had been having sex with another coed. His deception and harsh words put a stop to any fantasies of reconciliation. I soon began a relation- ship with ''Travis,'' and we remain together. We've had our ups and downs, but I know he loves me and our values align. Despite everything, how- ever, I have never been able to get over Brandon. I know it's absurd. Brandon and I have been in sporadic contact through mutual friends.

Yes, 392 words to just get familiar with the Faculty of 1941. Perhaps a number of local residents of Red Bluff will recall a few of the staff members listed for RBUHS in 1941. The handbook contains an interesting number of subjects in its pages, the book is worthy being read, so I will pull a few excerpts and add them to some future columns. Times may have changed in 2012; however it just might be helpful to presently require the 1941 handbook of some our present students and parents. STUDY STANDARDS arship Home Study and Successful Schol- Full and regular work in the Red Bluff Union High School will require and average of at least four hours of study preparation daily for the student of ordinary ability. The time at school should enable the pupil to make not more than one-half of the necessary preparation. There should be at least two hours of home study daily. Pupils should bear in mind that the require- ments for successful school work make it impossible for them to engage in social functions or to devote atten- tion to matters foreign to serious study on the evenings of school days. manipulative type who has made it clear she doesn't want to hear my name. The life he leads now is not one I would want for myself. I've been told that Brandon would like to see me, just as a friend, but he has made no move to initiate contact. I ought to know better than to believe it, but I feel a pain at the core of my body whenever I think of him. Tears come to my eyes when I recall the joy we had together.

Intel- lectual power requires power of will, power of concentration and self- denying refusal of the dis- tractions and allurements. Failures in studies are not generally due to lack of knowing how to concen- trate. Concentration is largely a matter of will, not skill. There is no mysteri- ous faculty or gift called power of concentration. Concentration is merely the will to work and the persistence in work against obstacles and distrac- tions. By far the most common cause of failure in the high school is the assumption that school work takes only a part of the day and that all the hours outside of the session may be spent in pleasure or in some other job. Successful scholarship demands home study, several hours of it, and the daylight hours at home as well as in the evening. The pupil who says he gets his lessons in school most proba- bly doesn't, and his monthly report card will show that he does not. Okay, so this is a very long col- umn. Try adding up the days between 1941 and 2012. Just count the five daily weeks of school and come up with a proper number of days between the years. Oh yes, you may want to consider the holidays around Christmas and Easter that may have been subtracted. This math problem may be challenging, one may end up with an estimated learning time by adding the school hours and the number of hours expected of home study. Have Fun!

Immature infatuation injuring intimacy Annie's Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar doesn't deserve such divided affections. Am I doing a disservice to him by ignoring these persistent feelings? Is it real- istic to want that joy again? — Hopelessly Unhealed Dear Hope- less: You have an idealized version of Brandon based don't feel for him what I felt for Brandon. Travis on the two years of bliss you had together. But that person doesn't exist (and maybe never really did), and the relationship is dead. You need to mourn its loss, move forward and force yourself to stop romanticizing and cling- ing to the past. Young love, especially first love, has an aura that cannot be duplicated, but it doesn't mean you cannot find something equally won- derful if you are open to it. If Travis isn't the right guy, it would be a kind- ness to set him free. But don't do it because you dream of reconnecting with Brandon. You'd only be setting yourself up for disappointment. Dear Annie: My 96- year-old widowed mother has been in a nursing home for six years. Her mind is sharp, but she has a hard time taking care of herself. Mom has made many friends at the home and is loved by all who meet her. My siblings and I visit as often as we can, and Mom is always happy to see us. The problem is her grandchildren. They claim they are too busy or can't bear to see Grandma in a home. But they don't even phone. The same goes for her many nieces and nephews. My siblings and I have told them how much it would mean if they visited, but it doesn't help. Why do people find time to go to a funeral, but can't manage a visit when the person is still alive? I worry they will someday realize what a huge mis- take they are making by ignoring Mom in her final years. Please tell your readers to visit someone in a nurs- ing home. I hope and pray that when I get old, my children and grandchil- dren find some time to spend with me. — My Heart Is Aching for Lone- ly Seniors Dear Heart: Sadly, those who don't make time to be in touch with a loved one will certainly have regrets.
