-12 THE IDEAL BOY The ideal boy does not existg but if he did he would be a combination of the best traits of a number of boys, Almost all girls have in mind a picture of the ideal boy as being tall, dark, and handsome, but NBeauty is only Skin deep.n Rather, the ideal boy is one who has clean personal habits, a neat appearance, is courteous, kind, and considerate. By clean habits we mean that he must not indulge in in- toxicating liquors, drugs, or gambling, and must not go about with questionable girls. Neither should he use profane lang- uage, talk about girls with whom he associates, or make smutty remarks to them. The ideal boy must have a sense of justice, know right from wrong, be broad-minded, and frank in express- ing his opinions. He must also have a sense of humor. We don't think a boy should be a Hsissyn. All girls want to have a feeling of protection, so naturally they admire strong, courageous boys. We must stress neatness in appearance. It costs little to be well-groomed. First impressions are most lasting, and almost all first impressions are derived from our personal appearance. Keep your hair well combed, your trousers well pressed, and your shirts and sweaters clean. Good grooming counts more than good looks. However, we don't want you to look as if you'd just dipped your head in your mother's grease jar, or smell as if you'd upset your sister's perfume bottle. We also think boys should have a sense of time. We get tired of seeing folks yawn and yawn. They should also be a little more gallant to the lady love. Opening the car door for her is greatly appreciated. Even if she does know her hair and clothes are pretty, she'd like to be told they are. Give compliments, first on character traits, then on personal appearance. By compliments we don't mean flatteryg just a few sincere remarks are sufficient. The ideal boy is never a Nsmart alecn or a show off, but possesses enough personality to form friendships without using either of these methods. He shows respect for his elders, particularly his parents. Many boys regard their parents as the Hold mann or the Wold womanu. Too often boys and girls forget that most of their opportunities and pleas- ures now are possible because of their parents' sacrifices. Let the boys try to carry out as many of these sug- gestions as possible. Certainly there is nothing to lose, and we hope much to gain. The Senior Girls

15- Q THE IDEAL GIRL The ideal girl must have a pleasing personality, by which we mean a kind, courteous, sincere and friendly manner with everyone, both young and old. A girl with a refined, pleasing personality will wear clothes that are neat and clean at all times, and she will dress to suit the occasion. She will also wear her hair in the style that is most becoming, and not follow all the fads of hair dress regardless of how she looks. The privacy of her own room is the proper place to use make up. We boys do not care to see her apply powder and lipstick in all manner of public places. If a girl wants to interest a boy she must be independent --not too independent, but just enough to keep him guessing. By all means, donit Nrun afteru the boy, for that is a sure way to lose him. pocketbooks. Of course we expect sometimes we are no in a position diggern seldom becomes a thrifty, 0116 boy are and it, Then we also admire the girl who has some respect for our to spend within reason, but to keep on spending. A Hgold economic housewife. She should be a good listener, and not talk too much. No wants a Hgibby-gabbyu who wants to talk all of the time. Gur estimation is somewhat lowered when she goes with every in town. Of course, we want her to be popular, but there other ways. HTrue worth is in being, not seeming.H Smoking drinking are not becoming in any girl. .We may not condemn but some of us, at least, do some thinking. We also admire a strong, healthy girl who isn't afraid of fresh air and exercise--one who can be refined and still enjoy outdoor sports. More of this type of living will necessitate less application of false coloring matter. Along with the qualities mentioned, should go abilities in good cooking and good housekeeping. the We are offering these suggestions in all kindness, and hope girls may profit by them. The Senior Boys
