She believes there are more problem children among adults "Some grownups certainly don't behave as well us the average teen-ager," said Mary Ann Bartholomay firmly, "The stories you hear abo.ut wild teen-agers concern only' a very few.

Most of them will grow up to be fine citizens." Mary Ann, blonde, poised and pretty, is a 11- year-old high school senior from Henrietta, N. Y. i who won a £500 I college scholarship and an electric range by whining the 25(h Na- tibual Cherry Pie Banking Contest over 150,000 other girl and boy contestants between ine agei of and 20. She clinched the title at Chicago in BOYL1 a bakeoff victory over 50 other finalisls. Her othe: rewards: A trip to New York City and Washington, D.

and a chance to bake a pie for President Eisenhower. Her triumph was no accident. Miss Bartholomay, who baked her first pie at 11, went into serious training last August. Since then she has baked several hundred pies, experimenting with dozens of recipes. Some of the pies her family ate, some were sold'at church suppers, a few she gave to her high school principal.

Her prize-winning secrets: She put in four drops of almond flavoring to lend her pie piquancy, arid Instead of using lard or vegetable shortening to mak-e the crust, she used cup of each. Here is how life looks to teenage Mary Ann, only child of a steam shovel operator, in a small town in the suburbs ot Rochester. "No, I don't drink or smoke.
