HIGH SCHOOL DLCOLLLI Courtesy--v hat a lovely word. ' It suggests gentle iDreeding, efinement, culture, ariilabillty, and all the desirable attributes hat constitute a lady or a gentloman. On the other hand, the lack of it immediately brings to mind .n improper background, rudeness, incivility, disrespect, tactless- less, impudence, and vulgarity. Whonever a pupil is guilty of any )f these offences, how sorely it reflects on his envlronraont I am sure none of us v ish to be thought of as having had an Improper training, and yet wo so often leave ourselves open to this judg- ment . Being discourteous to our suneriecs, unkind or vulgar in our speech, rushing our way thi ough crovreh. , and imany other thoughtless acts, cannot fail to detract from good opinion, and place the stamp of bad breeding upon us. Let us think it over, fellow pupils, and ask ourselves into which category v e wish to be classed. For example, it is rude, rather than humorous, to push another ' s head into the fountain vdille drinking. Then hand from a another who courteous it a second or in his face. corrmion practice is to thoughtlessly take our door, thus permitting it to swing back, often against is directly behind us. How much more thoughtful and would bo to look behind and; if a person is there, take two to hold tho door open, and thus keep it from slamming Very often, one ' s behavior in the lunchroom creates a poor Impros- sion. If we leave tho remains of our lunch, for instance, or throve this at the receptacle rather than placing it in it v e not only give a bad impression of our manners, but make our school look untidy and dis- orderly.
