ETIQUETTE k Etiquette is set by a simple set of rules of behavior. By using these rules people make living with esch other more oleas - ant and comfortable. All people are born partially selfish. The reasons for etiquette arej v e are polite to each other because we want other people to be polite to us. To be polite sometimes costs us som3 of our comfort. But in the long run we gain more than we lose, because other people show consideration fer us. One of the most important aspects in our human relations is conversation- The way we talk to people largely controls the way they feel about us. Polito speech is the surest mark of gocd manners. Rudeness to those who servo us is the mark of an impolite person A man may have goed table manners, but a rude way of speaking to a waiter will identify him as a man little training in etiquette, Pooplo are made haopy or un- happy by the way other people speak to then. There are rules of etiquette for both what we say and how we say it. An uneducated man may use bad grammar but the kind- ness in tact with which he speaks will main him as a polite man. Another person may use perfect grammar, but makes so many unkind remarks that it xs obvious ho has no manners, A person 3hows his conversational manner best when arguing. One with bad man- ners, shouts when angry. He often interrupts, A person with good manners keeps his voico low, and lets others continuo speaking until they have finished. But this works both ways. Only a bore talks constantly so that no one can speak without interrupting. After reading an article about foreign schools and how the students conducted themselves, Wb compared them with our school and found quite different results. The main thing that struck me about their schools was how mannerly and polite they must be They get in ranks outside of the school and quietly wait for the teacher to open the doors. They hang up their wraps and go to their first class without talking. How confused a foreign student would be if he came to F.H.3 for a week. In the morning he would arrive on the bus and see students hanging out of windows, throwing era-sers. at each other, and what would he think? Well, he would wonder if someone had given him the wrong address and sent him to the neighborhood ?oo. Once inside he might have to dodge paper airplanes, spit balls, and flying erasers. When he went to hang up his clothes he would see a jumbled mess that one would expect of first graders, not high school. Thon he would have to fight his way through the crowds of yelling students to get to his home room. Once safely in class he would see gum chewing continued whispering and sleeping students. In his country if any student dared to commit such crimes, he would get the strap across the hand ♦Until recently.

Good manners are more then s yir.g Please” and Thank you . These are important but it is also important to watch the gjneral rule in any conversat ion-speak to others as you would have them speak to you. Barbara West '61 Carole Benjamin '61 STORIES The Most Frightful Night of My Life The night was black the wind was howling. It was the sort of night which makes you wish you had stayed home, but ours was a task which could not wait for the sunrise. The letter must be delivered to the authorities without anyone suspecting we had left our apartment, because we were spies for the U.S. Government in East Germany. The East Germans have a love of freedom and we were there to tell the other parts of the world exactly what was going on, so that someday they might have that freedom. By now you are probably wondering who we are. Well, we consist of Veronica Stevens from Texas and myself- both members of the U.S. Armed Forces - sent to Germany to help the people under the rule of the Russians. That night was a most important one because we had just received information regarding the coming of the Rus- sian troops to put down an uprising in the western part of our town. I hate to go through with this. What if we should got caught; then what? A concentration camp for the rest of our live si Veronica was very much disturbed because she knew that this was the biggest task we would ever have. I'm sorry,Veronica, but I don't seem to share your attitude. I think that we ovie it to these poor people. We left the apartment at 2j00 A.M. to deliver the letter to the man who was to take it to the authorities. We'll have to hurry if we make it by 2:30, Veronica said. Once outside the wind blew worse than ever. We could hardly see, but, Wait I Lightsl Hide,Veronical That was a close call. I hear footsteps. RunJ Donna White '61
