by Millie Hogoboom 696-2603 .Birthdays are something we all have—at least one each year, beginning with the first one, when life has just begun. At six, it’s of to school we go. And then we Sally reach the giggly, giddy, sensitive teens on num- ber 13. At 18 years, we can vote and fight, but are not entirely on our own yet. At 21 we are free. A full grown man or woman, as the case may be. Next in line is number 39 and holding. Then suddenly we are told, ‘Life be- gins at 40.” Our golden birthday signals the foolish 50's. At 65 our work and worries should be be- hind us. At 75 it’s just nice to be alive. At 80 we are an octogen- arian. Fancy word isn’t it? Seunds like we may belong in a 200. At 90 begins the countdown for the century mark. Oh, did I miss sweet 16? The best birthday of all. Midway be- tween youth and adult. Still pro- tected and nurtured, but not yet having to contribute to the family fortune. And at long last, your own set of keys to the family car.
