Summary: | The wishing book This is the name we always use for the mail order cata- logue. This is because we're always looking at it and saying, " I wish I had this" and " I wish I had that". I think this started about seven or eight years ago. One day a group of us were looking at the catalogue and making the usual wishes. One girl said, " Well this is a real wishing book, " and ever since we often refer to it as a wishing book. I don't suppose too many Renews residents use it but I've often heard it used among our own age group.
