(5 1/2 x 7 1/2 In) This is an original vintage National Dairy Council Booklet from 1958. "My Reflections" is 20 pages long, illustrated by Elmer Jacobs. It basically tells a girl how to measure and rate herself as a person.

"Susie Q -
Let's face reality
And analyze your personality.
Is your chassis neat and trim,
Or are you just a skinny slim?
Is your figure bulging fat.
Or have you taken care of that?
Can you conduct a conversation,
Or are you fraught with consternation,
Can you handle any date.
Or do you just sit at home and wait?
Can you shag a neat old jitter,
Or have you grown both sad and bitter?
What have you to offer friends
Besides a wish to make amends?
Is your youth both sweet and blooming,
Or have you erred on personal grooming?
In short what assets do you possess
To bolster up your comeliness?
Just look within and rate your skills
To bend yourself to others' wills.
Check first upon your sweet perfections
And master all your predilections.
Look yourself right in the eye
Make up your mind that you will try
To grow in life as best you can
Be worthy of that guy called man.
Then put me in your dresser drawer
Recheck sometime and raise your score.
Remember this that in the summing
You are now what you are becoming."
