SHORT IF NOT SWEET
We’ve had editorials about not snobbing our fellow
students. We’ve had editorials about not cluttering up the
smoke house floors. And we’ve had editorials about not string
ing a bunch of flagsi up on the flag-pole. Well, here’s another
one. But honestly it’s not a supercilious,, down-the-nose affair
... It’s just that sometimes we almost have to have a poke or
two to, remind us of little things we’ve known all the time.
We’re all well-bred girls, w& know . . . and we’d get mighty
mad if someone were to accuse us of being anything else. It
isn’t, however, much a mark of breeding to see us noising about
in chapel the way we do. You may say that chapel conduct
doesn’t matter; but, actually, it does. When someone speaks
to us individually, we have the courtesy to listen even though
we probably don’t give a rap about what’s being said. AnJ
yet, we squirm and fidget in chapel so that even the organ can’t
be heard. Don’t you occasionally feel sorry for the poor speak-
er? Don’t you sometimes wonder that he doesn’t slam his fist
down on the rostrum and quit? If we were up there spouting
forth! at an audience of, chatting freshmen and studying sopho
mores and sleeping juniors and eating seniors, we’d more than
likely burst out crying. So let’s try just once golden ruling
and see what happens . . . will you?
