COURTESY - Edna Kimpel

Many books have been written on etiquette
~ or the manner in which people should con-
duct themselves in society; but the practicing
of courtesy toward our associates still leads.
Is it not pleasure to be greeted with a
spontaneous Good Morning. and does the
world not hold brighter prospects for us when
everyone exercises affability? In what other
way could a lady or gentleman show apprecia-
ton for what the world has to offer them, than
by extending respect and consideration to their
fellow beings? We must all admit when We
study the situation carefully, that courtesy is
the obligation which we owe our country. and
should show. not only by treating its citizens
with civility, but show spirit of democracy by
being courteous to everyone in general.
What does it gain for an individual to speak
critically or even laugh behind another's back !?
1t is indeed very cowardly and degrading act
and can be termed as one of the greatest viola
tions of courtesy. .s. @~.. ..s## p
Courtesy many times acts as a magnet by
drawing people together and if allowed to con-
tinue it has binding power which no corrup-
tion can sever. More may be accomplished when
courteous attitude is assumed than in any
other way, for courtesy is often the key to
the feelings and emotions of others.

Graduation was a big day for
Jonesburg, a small town little
ways out of New York City. The
spring flowers were in bloom,
leaving the air fragrant with their
sweet perfume.
There was the hurry and hustle
of excitement in the senior assem-
bly, that morning as they were get
ting all their things together MAX
ing ready to leave their dear old
Alma Mater. They were nervous,
eager. and alert for anything that
might happen.
Shirley Ray Dickinson must
have been person Of great inter-
est from the crowd gathered a.
round her. But why not? She, with
the exception of Granville Hadley
who had the same school average
as she did. had graduated with
highest honors. Too, she was a
very beautiful young girl of sew
enteen with blonde wavy hair that
was more like a permanent wave
than natural curl. Her eyes. like
little pools of water, were blue and
sparkling. Her sunny simle and
pretty dimples along with her fair
complexion and medium height
would attract attention most any,
where.
Shirley Ray, turning around to
see IT her close chum Molly Jones
was coming. caught one of Gran
v1lle's admiring glances that he
had been sending her unnoticed
until now.
Shirley. rushing up to the tall.
stately, handsome man standing
near the window, cried, ooh Gran
vile. I'm so excited"
The expression of his brown
eyes and his sweet smile showed
ne admired this girl and was glad
when she hurried over to him. as
he answered. 81 expect SO Shirley
So am /! But just think. our high
school days are over and it's likely
both of US will enter a different
world far away from each other.n
He finished with a sigh.
Yes. when we've lived all our
lives next door neighbors, PLAYED
together and gone to school to-
gether, it. is sad to even think of
parting, but let's forget it now,
Granville" said Shirley, looking
up into his eyes and smiling.

Granville glancing at his wrist

"I'll be going. But may / have

Certainly. I'll get it," she re-
piled and was gone but few min

"I'm very much obliged Mrs

Eyes. good evening, and good
luck. Granville"
Thanks" was all he could say
to that. as he closed the door and
walked down the street seeming
very much alone.
Two days later, which was Sun
day. found Joe and Granville set
tied comfortably in their room. II
was almost noon and still they
slept. Someone called them. Joe
awakened easily, as he seemed 70
be of a nervous character. He re-
sembled Granville so much in
looks that some people took them
for brothers. He was a trile
shorter however, and his actions
were very different. Joe never
cared for any girls nor did he
worry or ever become serious over
things as did Granville. Joe awak-
ened Granville and the two dress
ed and had their breakfast before
Granville ever settled down TO
write his said letter to Shirley
Ray. He had been very busy tho
or he surely wouldn't have delayed
SO long in writing.
Granville was utterly heart

DUMB SHOW-GeraId Cox

The senior English class is working with pan
tomimes.
One of the members of the class presides.
The students volunteer their pantomimes. A
young fellow appears stealthily on the stage,
glancing fearfully about. Fixing his eyes on q
point high on the wall, with sentimental look
on his face he holds his arms out to the object
Of his affection. Hurried. no doubt. by the
laughter of the audience, he leaves the stage
abruptly. There is nothing alarming about his

Some of the misers count their gold in public,
archers have their target practice, and one stu
dent loses a game of solitaire and his temper.
But the browning attraction comes when
"Aggie" Mclean strolls out the stage, takes
pinch of snuff under his upper lip and pro-
ceeds to take in the sights of the city. The
look of wonderment and delight on his face
convinced us that the sights of the city pleased
him beyond measure. He leaves the stage
gawking at the skyscrapers. This was the most
realistic pantomime given. "Aggie" seems to
have real talent for portraying this type of
character.

BOYS SPORTS

Kennewick Takes Benton City
Playing in the best of form yet this year the
K.H.S. hoopsters won from Benton City by the
score of 21-7. The game was fast and well
played, and teamwork was evident in every
phase. The Benton City boys found the fve-man
defense an almost impossible barrier and al
tho they showed flashes Of good work, it was
not consistent.
Reese at guard and Keolker at center also
caused the losers quite a bit of dismay Reese
not only held down his berth at guard by
smashing every advance of the Benton City
five but even invaded the scoring end of the
floor, sinking two beautiful baskets. Grover
Lincoln carried the scoring honors of the game
with seven points.
