THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1945
Man, Your Manners
By I. Sherwood
The Senior dance is traditional
but to you who are graduating
next week the Corps Ball on Fri
day Night will have to be your
final ball. You will want it to be
one to remember, so make it the
outstanding social affair of your
College career.
Send a corsage, by all means, for
you’ll find that all the others will
be sending flowers. A girl who
doesn’t receive flowers is pretty
apt to feel neglected; the married
senior will not forget flowers for
his wife either.
We not only sell polish and
brushes but we GIVE infor
mation to you on how best
to shine your own shoes.
Holick’s Boot Shop
Cars and taxis are the only
means of transportation at College
Station but on a nice night almost
any girl will not mind walking to
the dance if the distance is short.
Formal clothes and evening slip
pers are expensive items of a girl’s
wardrobe so you will be careful
not to ask her to walk more than
a few blocks.
A girl will appreciate it if you
telephone her two or three days
before the dance to make final ar
rangements as to the time you
expect to meet her at the train
or bus or to inform her of any de
tails that you have planned for
her, such as a dinner before the
dance or where she is to stay.
The young man who knows his
dance etiquette is pretty apt to be
popular with the girls.
