HAT ORt NOT- THAT 15 THE QUESTION!1 For the past three weeks we bave heard -ýa Sad treatise on -the, sbock- ing lack of good manners that is prevalent at New Trier. The manu- script included everytbing from the problem of tbe boys raisilig tbeir bats to women, to bow to address your respective instructors, etc. And these were only part of a long pre- amble that preceded the. main sec- tion of the cry of distress. We regret the necessity for suc~h a use of print- er's ink. We hope however that tbose that instigated such an out- burst, will ",buck-up". %and read their etiquette books, ýif they can not be guided by inistinèt:alone. It is surely an awful reflection on ýthe members of the school, that the faculty found it ficessary to compile sucb a docu- ment in order to belp those of u's in such dire need of some suggestionts on good' behavior.

Sis Gleason-I don't -think. any- thing would be nicer than dedicat- ing it as a memorial to Mr. Clerk, and naming« it accordingly. -It seems to me that that would le a fitting way to show our appre-, ciation for his interest inthe pro- ject-and.our deep regard for him. Colin Finlayson--Pheliys Field- for Mr. Phelps bas shown great interest in the athletic activities as well as the academic work, of New Triér. Lucia Perrigo-In my opinion "Clerk Field" would be an ideal name for our new athletic field. Mr. Clerk always. wished us to have the very best athletic equip- ment possib le. The field was planned under bis administration. Thus 1 tbink it very fitting for the Mr. Christensen: ",Name .a liquid that New Trier Rifle won't freeze." Sahlly: "Ho water.."
