Appointment Xecessary DECATUR'S LARGEST AND FINEST BEAUTY SALON VALENTINE SPECIALS Lunch Chosen here." A guy in the corner finishes his meal with a cigarette. "If we could smoke (at school) and it had good food, I'd eat there." And there's really plenty of variety in the menu, according to him.

"One day you eat a Yumbo and one day a Whopper." Well, is there anyone left at all who still eats in the cafeteria? Sure, they say. Jocks. Dumb freshmen who don't know any better. "I know one girl who brings her lunch," says a burger eater, who admits he usually eats at school. He's wearing the only letter jacket in the place.

Most frequenters of hamburger joints are just that frequent. Some have never even tried the high school's menu. That's the case of one third-year student at MacArthur, who says, "I never could figure out how to get to the cafeteria!" NEW ART'S EZT7CM5 CREME 7 XB could be fitted with an artificial leg the same length as the other. They were violently opposed, saying such things as, "You have no right. God created you this way for a reason." Every time I mentioned it they tried to shame me out of it.

Ann, it's my leg and my life and I can't see why it would be wrong to rid myself of this ugly shoe. My fiance has told me repeatedly that it makes no difference to him if I have one leg or two.Please let me know what you think. In A Quandary Dear I took your letter to Dr. Henry Betts, head of the Rehabilitation Institute in Chicago on whose board I serve. Dr.

to hy Envy Ann Landers Robert G. Thompson, an orthopedic specialist. Dr. Thompson said, "It is now standard practice in patients who have a short extremity (with that much discrepancy) to suggest a below-knee amputation. This is now being suggested for the very young so they will not grow up with a psychological handicap.

If the young woman came to me I would recommend that the operation be performed." And now about your parents' attitude. In my opinion they are being unfair when they attempt to make you feel guilty because you want to have this surgery. If you are certain your fiance will not develop any hang-ups about the result, go ahead and have the operation. Please let me know when you walk down the aisle, looking the way you've always wanted to. And good luck, dear.

Dear Ann Landers: This is not a serious problem compared to many you receive, but it has caused me considerable discomfort and I'd like your advice. Several months ago I went to a great deal of trouble (not to mention time) to paint what I thought was a beautiful oil portrait of a dear friend. I spent $60 on a frame and presented it to her as a gift when they moved into their new home. I worked from photographs supplied by her husband and surprised her with the framed portrait at the housewarming party given by friends and neighbors. She seemed very pleased and hung it in her living room for about two months.

After that it was no longer in evidence. Last week I was amazed to find hanging in its place a landscape oil which she had purchased and put in my $60 frame. Shall I ask her what happened to the portrait or keep quiet? Hurt Dear You KNOW what happened to it. Keep quiet. HOOFS LITTLE HELP The hoofs of all deer are so small they are not of much use for pawing and the animals feed entirely by browing.

Dear Ann Landers: I have a very unusual problem at least it's one I've never seen in your column. I am trying to make a very serious decision, one which my parents oppose. My fiance agrees with me and my minister says snouia decide only alter serious prayer. I am a young girl, considered quite attractive, happy and healthy, but I am crippled. I have worn a large built-up shoe on my left foot since I was three years old.

My leg is healthy in every respect, and actually it just as strong as the other one, but it is five inches too short. On my 18th birthday I in formed my parents that when I became 21 I was going to have my lower leg amputated so 1 B1 Details Featured When Your New DRESS SIZE "Warning to Minors," reads the sign inside the hamburger shop. "No Loitering. Booth privileges to those spending 50 cents minimum 20 minute time limit." Which is just as well, because that's about all the time MacArthur High School students have for lunch. Everyday they descend from the school to grab lunch at one of a few nearby quick-service restaurants.

The first wave of students arrives at the off-campus retreat shortly after 11 a.m. Like students found at almost any high school from Dover to Tacoma, these are the kids who prefer a daily diet of hamburger, fries and a soda to whatever the school cafeteria has to offer. Why, when a school lunch costs only 40 cents? Because cafeteria food is awful, they'll tell you first. "Edible, but not digestible," as one MacArthur junior puts it. Oh, cafeteria food's not that bad, they admit.

"Kids always like to make a big deal out of it, though," says his eating com panion. But eating out costs so much more. "So what, if your old man's paying for it?" he laughs. "You're school all day. You want to get out," sophomore Debbie Riley offers.

I hate cafeterias. You have to stand in huge lines, and you only have about five minutes to eat," says freshman Candy Carriger at the next table. "Besides, everybody else comes over here.
