LEM, THE BASHFUL
lie Desired Popularity. But Was Too
Timid To Co After II
CONTINUED from Yesterday


Lemucl Gibbons was OF no vast
Importance or popularity among
the students OF Parker High, ex-
ceP: - the butt Of the good natured
Jabs poked at him.
His assistance on the committees
that arranged Tor banquets and
ente ftainments OF his class was
never solicited, and not once dur
ing his three years al the school
mad he been asked to join any OF
the various clubs organized by
members Of the student body.
His name was very rarely men
toned IN conversations among the
students except IN connection with
some bit OF humor, and never had
Lem been asked 10 try out for any
OF the athletic teams. He longed
for popularity and the friendship
Of his classmates, out ne was not
willing 10 go after the was afraid
TO.
Thus, Lemuel Gibbons came to
consider himself an outsider at the
school School interest as Tar as
he was Concerned ran low, and he
came TO look upon Parker-the
Parker that was so dear 20 more
popular students, those who might
shed a tear when forced TO leave
the institution with graduation-as
more OF a house of torture than a
place where he might pleasantly
spend his time IN study.
Then, one day he took his father
into his confidence, and told him
OF the situation.
MY boy" said Mr.. Gibbons.
when you don't mix more with
your classmates you are making
a mistake. You're missing two
thirds OF your education. Now.
my advice IS that you try more to
associate with the fellows. Try
out for one of the teams and make
1t. Your associates mean nothing
by their jokes at your expense, and
the chances are you're passing up
many fellow who'd make a dandy
good friend by not mixing with the
crowd. Get over your bashfui-
ness, son, and you'll be all right"
