DIRECTIONS TO STUDENTS I. Always come to classes lateg make as much noise as possible, will attract attention, will make you known among your classmates and es- pecially popular with the instructors. 2. Get a seat in the back of the room, in a corner, if possible. Much less chance of the instructors bothering your conversation. 3. Always bring something to do to class. If you don't sew or knit, Write those letters you owe. Valuable time will not be wasted. 4. Never hand in an English paper on time, the later the better. True genius puts everything off until the last minute. Be a genius. 5. Always wear your best hat and veil to schoolg it gives the im- pression that you are going somewhere after class, and also gives the class something to jtalk about during the long, boring hour of the lecture. 6. Above all things, talk, wherever, whenever, and on any subject you cang especially tryyour'conversation out in class-rooms and in chapel. It is most necessary to be a good talker to get a job-remember that Mr. Schrader reiterates that this is a talking profession. 7. Have as your motto, Don't do today what you can put off until exam time. If you Hunk, there's always a chance to blame it on the teacher. INTERESTING CONTESTS OI TI-IE PAST YEAR I-ehr fvx.

HARMON: Here at school, we have always been interested in Mildred, and predicted a bright future for her in the literary world, for she has an exceptionally active brain, and a clever way of telling stories that never fail to interest her listeners. ANNE Llcwls: I had not dreamed that Anne was old enough to go to school, but her mother tells me she is ready for college. I have always found her a sweet and lovable little girl, and am sure that you will enjoy her. SANDY TIAIACHIQR: Olive is a very quiet, shy girl, of Whom we are all very fond, but it hurts when she is embarrassed before people. We hope that your school will be able to fulfill its assurance 'to give girls poise' in Olive's case, for if you can bring her out so that she won't be afraid to talk when she is with people, we, her friends, will congratulate you.
