Graduate, By Mary Helen Shawhan Hey gang, this column is sort of an initiation or me as it's the first time I've written it but if you all wilt bear with me, I think maybe I'll learn. In the meantime, it would cer tainly be mighty fine if you all would put me in the know as to what's going on around here as it's pretty impossible for me to keep up with all you guys.and gals and your do ings. I will appreciate the help people, and I hope you sur * vive the ordeal that I'm going through. Well, here goes ...
