e, and for general singing, gather quietly in the center sections if your Assembly Hall is large. You should do this without waiting to be asked. Use your judgment. 6) The appearance on the platform of one who is to speak to you should be your signal for immediate silence and attention. Don't wait to be called to order; call yourselves to order. 7) Sing so well that you make the general singing a delight. You will find it far more fun than trying to spoil the program. Why will you? Because it is your nature to feel more satisfaction in cooperating and helping by doing your best, than in hindering and thwarting by doing your worst. (This is the basis of all good manners, and of civic spirit.) 8) You should be attentive and silent, not only when some one is talking to you from the platform and when a "number" of any kind is being given, but also during a "movie." People who visit while others are trying to entertain them are a public nuisance. Don't let yourselves slip into that class. Also do not tell the plot of a play or a movie to your neighbor. 9) Never, in the Assembly Hall or in any other place where there is a large group of people, should you stand and beckon, whistle, or "hoo-hoo" to attract the attention of your friends. 10) If you enter the Assembly Hall after the program has begun, find a seat so noiselessly as to escape notice. 11) Show your appreciation cordially, but avoid excessive applause. Never stamp your feet or whistle. Carried beyond a certain point, applause ceases to be a courtesy. Cultivate good taste in this matter. Moderation is a mark of good taste. DUTY TO CLUB OR CLASS SPONSOR _Her air, her manners, all who saw admir'd; Courteous though coy, and gentle though retir'd; The joy of youth and health her eyes display'd, And ease of heart her every look convey'd._ --Crabbe. 1) Remind your sponsor (or adviser) of your meeting two or three days in advance of the time. 2) Before acting on any plan, be sure of the approval of your sponsor. 3) So treat your sponsor that she (or he) will delight to be with you. THE LAVATORY _Cleanliness is next to godliness._ --Wesley. 1) In school, in a store, in a club, on trains, in short, wherever you use a public wash bowl, leave it as clean as possible. 2) Do not scatter toilet paper about. Keep the toilet rooms neat and clean and free from all writing on doors, walls, windows.
