' Qi(l l irginian ' Rules ECAUSE of the terrible afflictions and ordeals we have suffered at the hands of those awful tyrants, the Faculty and Home Depart- ment, and out of consideration of those who are to come within the realms of torture, discomfort, and uneasiness of conscience, we deem it only just and right to hand down to the future generation of green- horns the following rules and regulations. If they obey them strictly they may bask in the warm sunshine of Faculty approval; if not, the hard hand of Fate will bear upon them. I. iRuIc0 30 to Cla0srooms 1. If you know nothing about your lesson, look wise. ' Tis easier to look wise than to act wisdom. 2. When the teacher becomes boring, there is always diversion in trying fortunes on your tablet or playing tit-tat-toe with your next-door neighbor. 3. Find a few familiar expressions and always use them in French class. Greet your teacher with Bon Matin, Mademoiselle, and depart with Au revoir, and she ' ll think you know it all. Advice: Never depend on the French you learned at school to tell you what train to take when looking at a French time-table abroad — you ' ll be sure to miss it. 4. If you know how a begins in Hygiene, start it, and make up the rest; only talk, keep on talking — the teachers give a great deal of credit for bluff 5. If you are in a music class and can ' t carry a tune in a basket, open your mouth and punch your neighbor; the result will he much easier on your audience. II. Rule0 i0ccUancou0 1. Don ' t try to lift your radiator to sweep under it; it is too heavy. When you get ready to sell it, get Uncle Robert to move it for you. 2. Never walk single file downtown; go six abreast, so the citizens of Farmville will know that we own the town. 21

' fl Wirginiaxi 3. If soup IS served for dinner, always make a gurgling sound when eating. It shows training at home. 4. If you spill coffee on the cloth, butter a piece of bread and accidentally let it fall on the spot, buttered side down, so it will stick good. No one will ever see the spot. III. Rules RegarDing Liliratp 1 . This is a sacred place and must be treated with reverence. 2. First see that the Librarian is seated at the desk and occupied. Then immedi- ately glide into the reading-room, seize all the interesting magazines and sit upon them. 3. There was once a reading-room maintained here, but the object of this room has changed. Now placards are found hanging about containing these words, Talk and the whole room joins you; read and you are in a class by yourself. 4. If you hear a rap from the desk, rap back.
