They put up posters reminding students how to show courtesy throughout the halls. Perhaps the biggest result was the example of the freshmen as they themselves practiced the courtesy that they preached. Freshmen gave the members of the faculty the respect and attention that the dignity of their office requires and thus set the pace for the entire school. Also the freshmen put forth the idea of respect for their own classmates and for the upperclass- men. Manners and language in the halls improved and several times students could be observed giving teachers a helping hand where it was needed.
