First Valentine to the Boy Wins!
Signed, A Dear Clueless: I think if you spend a little time making a really super duper
creative Valentine that says exactly what you feel, it doesn't
matter if your card is first or second to arrive in his locker.
Just remain optimistic, and be enthusiastic about your next move,
as this quote from Charm and Poise for Getting Ahead explains
in a section describing how women can become popular. I'm sure
that your boy will be very impressed with your efforts, and will
choose you over that other girl any old day. 1967: Popularity, for Women
Be Optimistic. You only have to look at a small lichen
clinging to a precipice to realize that life goes on under the
most difficult circumstances. Everywhere you can see the marvelous
manifestations of life's goodness and abundance. There is enough
love, beauty, harmony, for everyone. If you cut your finger, immediately
all the forces of your body are brought into action to heal your
finger and make it all well again. Mother Nature has given you
many defenses against the onslaughts of outrageous fortune. She
is not discouraged. She never says, 'What's the use.' She obeys
the laws of her being and is ever optimistic. We should not be
less. To abandon ourselves to hopelessness is going against all
the rules of Life.

Be
Enthusiastic. Life attracts life. Your enthusiasm will go
out from you in ever widening circles to enchant those who come
within its seductive power. Enliven your relationships by bringing
in fresh fuel to the fire. If your social contacts have grown
stale, introduce new and fascinating subjects. Plan new activities.
Create an atmosphere of merriment. The unexpected can be amusing.
Dress your days with gaiety so that later when you take them out
of the closet of memories you can say, 'This one was fun to wear.'
