passing through; then glance over your shoulder to prevent the door from
swinging back into the face of any person who may be following. 6) In order to appear to the best advantage, keep your hands out of your pockets. 7) Try not to jostle one another. If by chance you do, say, "Pardon me." 8) Observe, boys, that well-bred men rise when addressed by a woman who is standing. 9) Avoid whistling in the school building, and even in a private home, for your whistling may be annoying to some who cannot help hearing it. 10) Never, never, be so disgusting as to spit on the floor, on the stairs, or into the waste-paper box; use your handkerchief. 11) Care for your finger-nails, your face, your hair, in your room at home, not before mirrors on your locker doors, or in any other public place. After making your toilet as well as you can, forget it. 12) Boys, it is not necessary to help the girls mount the stairs in school unless they are blind or crippled. 13) Girls, it is better not to twine your arms about one another in the corridors and on the stairs; also, not to kiss one another tenderly if you separate for a few moments. Love your friends dearly; but be sensible, not sentimental. |
