RULES OF W. S. H S. I)o not stop on the grass unless you first get your life in¬ sured. Always straighten tin matting after one who is so im¬ polite as to kick it up. If not in the room when the teacher is ready to say good morning, you will be marked absent for the day. Never grumble about red marks, as they increase the beauty of the card. While in the basement never speak above a whisper and also be careful how you breathe. Fall up stairs instead of down. The girls are never to walk home with the boys without first getting their parents’ consent. Always march to the tune of the janitor. Never write notes unless you can write something that will be of interest to all who read it. It is preferred that you sit in your seat instead of on the floor. In the spring always drink your H 2 () boiled or stay away from school. Never ask for a back seat until there is one vacant. You are always to wish the teacher a Merry Christmas, a happy New Year and a wonderful Fourth of July. You are strictly forbidden to sit on the front fence as there is none. Never throw snow balls within tin school grounds. You are never to study only just what you are told to. Never mark in your books unless you want a zero. If your books are not closed for morning exercises beware the consequence. Never fail to jump when the bell rings, rise when the pen¬ cil taps, and march when the teacher says “go.” While taking off your wraps you are not to look at any¬ thing but the hook on which you are going to hang them. All who bring their dinner are commanded to eat all their paper, string, crumbs, orange peeling, etc.
