4 M. F. H. S. PILOT It is not hard to be courteous. It is easier to say something kind and in return receive a pleasant smile than to say something rude and thereby injure your own chances of friendship. Surely it will be worth while to try to be courteous. Then you will find that you will have more faithful friends. Don't antagonize your teachers! Remodel your character so that they will enjoy your presence. You will need friends laterg be courteous to your teachers and they will always befriend you. Courtesy pays. A teacher rebuked a pupil for his rude answer to a polite- ly asked question. After class his classmates were talking of the matter. They seemed glad that their disre- spectful classmate had been scolded. Another pupil in the class was always courteous. The teacher was often heard to say that it was a pleasure to teach such a well-bred person. This will help to show you how much you are hurting yourself when you act discourteously. If you will accept the words Be Courteous as your motto you will stand a good chance of winning many faithful friends. E. Bridgham Be Ashamed to Catch Yourself Idle Why study? is a question often de- bated by careless students of High School age. Many of these would-be- scholars have a strange system of ranking by which they judge their abilitiesg jones takes his books home, studies every evening and gets an average of ninety. I spend my even- ings having a good time and I get an average of seventy. So I'm really the smarter of the two, I wonder if these same students ever think of the world's ranking system. After they graduate from High School and go into business for themselves, will they be ranked by what they might have done? Will they gain success through the talents which they do not use? No. In the later school of ex- perience, they will find harsher judges, who give their decrees entirely on cir- cumstanial evidence. If these fun-loving pupils could only realize that what they call fun is only a thief who is robbing them of their right to success and happiness, they would surely be ashamed to catch themselves idle.
