The greatest and the least of us have more really deserve; so let us all remember to pay our COURTESY "Life is not so short but that there is alv/ays time for courtesy”, perhaps, is one of the best statements Emerson ever made. It is certainly very true. The highest degree of courtesy should be found and applied « in a v/ell organized school; courtesy betv/een the teachers and students, and above all, courtesy between boys rjid girls. hlar.t is courtesy? Is it some cut cJid dried ceremony? Must ^ a student be stiff and boring - or "sissy" to bo courteous? No, courtesy is merely the kindest v/ay of putting your thoughts into v/ords. It is being considerate of others. All pupils crji practice politeness by not talking v/hile the teach er is explaining something or while a classmate is reciting. So groat is the need for pupils of A. H. S. to polish their manners that there has been set aside a "Good Mrainers Week". Lot us not confine our acts of courtesy to any set time, but make every day a time to exhibit our knowledge of good manners. ^ ^ ^ ^
