Courtesies for Campus Co-Eds

“The modern co-eds spend much time and efforts making themselves attractive, but one wonders if they do not often unconsciously forget a few courtesies. Nothing is so disgusting to a masculine escort as a twisted rearview mirror where a co-ed has thought only of her face and not of the disagreeable impression it makes upon her companion.” – Photo Pinterest

Campus Courtesies

It is not the girls’ place to trade dances at a dance, so why do they do it? The fault probably started with formal courtesy dances where girls did the inviting, but let’s not forget that all formal dances aren’t courtesy dances. It is easy to see that it is very annoying for boys to ask a girl to a formal only to find that all his dances are arranged without his even knowing anything about it. 

After an evening’s entertainment, girls often forget to say something like “thank you, I had a perfect time,’’ and many times they really intend to, but they probably don’t remember it until the next day. This column is donated to the co-eds, so let’s remember these few little courtesies. The modern co-eds spend much time and efforts making themselves attractive, but one wonders if they do not often unconsciously forget a few courtesies. 

Nothing is so disgusting to a masculine escort as a twisted rearview mirror where a co-ed has thought only of her face and not of the disagreeable impression it makes upon her companion. When men open doors for women, all they expect is a pleasant “thank you,” but it is often neglected and forgotten. – Santa Rosa Oak Leaf, 1938
