Never get into vour seat until ten seconds before the fifteen minutes bell. — By Rourke, ’ 00 . Never shaq en a pencil on the floor; sharpen it on a block and throw it on the floor. Never call a teacher down to his face. Do it behind his back. Never whisper unless you are alone or with somebody-. Chew nothing but the best gum during school hours. While in school never fight with a teacher. Go out of doors, there is more room there. Have nothing to do with Miss Blanchard. You may have to march with her .sixth hour cadets. Avoid congratulating Cobb on an 3 possible engagements ; it’s well, it is not wise. Don’t go sightseeing on an ’- of our high buildings ; it is not nice. If 3 ou do, take an iee pick, and ask Anna for manner of using the same. For further particulars apph ' to Miss Damon, ’02. Never allow ourself to be ap- pointed on a Class Book committee. You will regret it. — B 3 Knight, ’00.
