OUR COVER: Boning up on schoolbooks? Well, maybe. Cover photograph by Norman Lerner.

THIS MONTH'S HIGHLIGHTS: The other day when we asked a BL reader what he thought about going back to school in September, he looked at us the way someone looks at a bug in his soup. With his silent answer recorded, we left him and threw out the question to a second vacationer. "Not bad," came the reply.

Our survey complete, we concluded that some boys hate school and some like it. With these results in mind, we decided to make this BL a back-to-school issue (starting with Norman Lerner's cover photograph) full of notions about how to enjoy the inevitable. Leading off for us is comic Sam Levenson, a former teacher who's had some witty sparring sessions with his students. The story: Your Friend the Teacher.

Next in line is Jim Winchester with the Student's Worst Enemy (No, it's not the teacher.), a keen look at how your attitude can give your I.Q. a boost . . . And, for those of us who get the jitters when we're called on to make a speech in class, Hugh Fellows offers a formula in Too Scared to Talk that'll untwist your tongue and calm your booming pulse... Rounding out the helps and hints department are two sharp pieces -- Writing the Book Report, by Ellen Buell, and a four-pager on fall fashions, aimed to keep you spic and span . . . What, if anything, does a cat think about an owl -- and vice versa? Are they deadly enemies, or do they just horse around, pretending to be? The Owl and the Alley Cat, by Jean George, will keep you guessing . . . To fill a bale of requests for dolphin stories, we present Lubra, a brainy, playful lady of the deep who likes everyone but sharks . . . And since we have an army of racing car enthusiasts, we think you'll get a charge out of wheeling along with champion Stirling Moss.

... To cap an exciting issue, Bud Wilkinson gives you some straight talk about How to Make the Varsity by using your muscles and your head, and staffer Walt Babson tells you of his en- counter with a monster sub sandwich -- so fat that when you bite into it you end up with crumbs in your eyebrows... BL thanks Forest Hills (N.Y.) High School for the use of its facilities in the production of our cover.
