Dear Girls and Boys:
Bibs is still purring with joy over the many fine
drawings that were sent in. Bibs sat and looked and
looked at the drawings. Finally Bibs had to have
some help in selecting the winners, your drawing
was so good that Bibs wants your class to have one
of his pictures, too.
Bibs and Mr. Evans are happy to send your class,
as a runner-up prize, an original drawing.
We hope yon will like it.
Sincerely,
Rosalie F. Greenwood

From The Freshman Class
I like a boy within the age of 18 and 19 and not
that childish age of 16 or 17. Some boys, but very
few, are grown-up and mannerly at that age, but most
of them are mean and ornery and like to push you
around and tease, and, do everything that makes you
angry.
I don’t like a boy who likes to "lollygag” all the
time he is with you and the type that gets mad if you
don’t let him put his arm around you in a movie or
where art thou.
I also admire a boy who participates in all sports,
if he is able. I don’t really care much for the boy
who has to be coaxed into everything he does. That
is just childish too.
I like a boy, that can dance too, but if he can’t,
well, it’s all right. We weren’t all born to dance.
So, he doesn’t have to be good-looking or a six-
footer as long as he is nice and mannerly, and talk­
ative at times.
Have You Good Manners
Good manners at band concerts
1 —Sit or stand quietly at a distance from the band.
2—Give your attention to the music.
3—Applaud at the conclusion of each number.
The band concerts are given for our pleasure and
we can show our appreciation by our good attention.
Talking, laughing, playing, and crowding about the
musicians at a concert only show our bad manners
and poor up bringing. Let’s all show our cooper­
ation and appreciation by our good manners.
Public Nuisance! . . .
Public Nuisance No. 2:
Boys and girls, its a crime to see a new book on
the floor or to tear it purposely, just because it’s
not yours. Others injoy reading a book with all of
its pages. So, lets be careful of our books.
