Freshman Commandments y y y 1. Don’t walk the corridors before school in the morning. It doesn’t look right and it is apt to “get you in bad with the faculty. 2. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We were all freshmen once. 3. Don’t be a kid all your life. Try and have a little dignity. If you can’t be dignified, be as dignified as you Can. 4. Don’t be a Grouch. A pleasant smile and a glad hand has won many a friend and a scowl has turned many would-be friends away. 5. Don’t be discouraged, even though you don’t succeed the first time. Keep a stiff upper lip and try again. 6. Don’t butt in. If people want your company they will ask for it. If you are not asked, keep away. 7. Don’t always tell of what you have done. What you have done doesn’t count half as much as what you can do. 8. Don’t waste your “hot air. All of us know that a little goes a long way. 9. Don’t think that you can go out every night in the week and then get an A or a B when your report comes in. Your marks are all worth getting, but you will have to work hard for them. 10. Don’t think you are a man because you are fortunate enough to be able to wear stylish clothes. Clothes never made a man. It is what you have inside that counts, not what you have outside.
