Manners It seems reasonable that a girl should expect a boy: To touch his hat when greeting her or parting from her. To refrain from lounging against walls or pillars when talking to her. To stand when talking to a girl who is standing. To walk on the outside instead of the inside of the walk, when escorting a girl, and not to sandwich himself between two girls when talking with them. To refrain from calling to a girl on the street to attract her attention. To refrain from swearing and vulgarity. Girls, try to help the boys and, at times, a boy's help may be needed to improve the stands of the girl.
April 7, 1924 The Gilbert school has been closed the past week as roads became impassible. Some of the bus drivers put four horses on lumber wagons. One driver had to leave his bus half way home and go into a nearby home and borrow a wagon to complete the route. (Insert 2003: We expect Collins School District had similar conditions.)
