rippled. 13) Girls, it is better not to twine your arms about one another in the corridors and on the stairs; also, not to kiss one another tenderly if you separate for a few moments. Love your friends dearly; but be sensible, not sentimental. 14) Boys, observe that the moment a woman or a girl enters a passenger elevator, gentlemen there remove their hats,--unless conditions prevent. CLASSROOM _In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold, Alike fantastic if too new or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside._ --Pope. 1) When you enter your classroom, as well as when you leave it, glance towards your teacher and, if she is looking, bow pleasantly. 2) Say, "Yes, Miss Brown"; not merely "Yes," if you know the name of the one addressed. If you do not know her name, let your tone and manner indicate so fully your feeling of respect that the omission of the name will not be noted. Say "Yes, Sir," to men. And remember,-- Hearts, like doors, will ope with ease To very, very little keys; And don't forget that two of these Are: "Thank you, sir," and "If you please." 3) When sitting, push back as far as you can in the chair and lean forward from your hips, keeping your spine straight, not curved.

Instead, rise quietly, face your teacher, and wait for her to recognize you as though you were at a club meeting. 7) Never "tell" when another is trying to recite. Such "telling" destroys the other person's chance to think, and helps to make a sneak of you. LUNCH ROOM _Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence of God._ --Bacon. 1) See that your hands are clean. 2) Avoid rushing into or through the Lunch Room. Walk. 3) When carrying your food to your table, pay strict attention to getting it to its destination in safety. 4) Eat in the Lunch Room,--not in the corridors, nor in the Assembly Hall, nor on
