She was about to step from the car when the boy who had so carefully given the advice to his neighbor suddenly jumped up, near- ly upsetting the little old lady, and dashed into the car. Eager to procure a favorite seat, he had forgotten his manners and had, as a result of his thoughtlessness, made a bad impression upon the minds of those who watched him. Many people have failed to gain their share of the good things in life because of discourtesy. Large firms often forfeit great profits because of the discourtesy of employees.

They were started by the Seniors, whose plan was to entertain the North Attleboro basket ball team after their game here. Owing to unfortunate circumstances the game was cancelled but as all plans had been made the social was held just the same., In a week or so the Juniors followed the Seniors' example, giving what they termed a Junior Hop and later the two lower classes combined in a Freshman-Sophomore Frolic.
