It impresses mere outsiders with the stupendous amount of work you have to accomplish before 4:45 period. Talk fast, intersperse with such cryptics as Lib,', Gym',, lic , Math , VVillie , and Lab',, and emphasize as many wordx as possible. , . fllwayr address friends as - Kids , People , or Women , possibly pre- fixing Nly Dearln Adverbs and adjectives are useful for emphasis if carefully selected: Hgrandu, fierce , and awful,', petrified , absolutely',, are always appropriate. Select words which call u u attractive victures. With this in mind be a friend l l a 8 to hop off , and speak not of going anywhere, but of steaming , trailing,', or floating. lt is all very simple when you understand how. Yes, indeed, ,vimpla is just the word. 26
