REFRESHMENTS AT PARTIES
Reading edition
Socrates said, "Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live."
—Plutarch.
1) Keep your refreshments simple and inexpensive. After you are better acquainted, omit them frequently.
2) Boys, you should be alert to help serve, but use your judgment; don't go off in a group to enjoy yourselves in the business of serving or eating.
3) Avoid dropping crumbs on the floor or scattering them over the serving tables. Avoid placing anything hot or moist on a surface that may be disfigured by it.
4) Pay special attention to any who seem shy or afraid to mingle with the other guests. See that everybody has a good time.
5) Help clean up at once, boys, what should be cleaned up, and leave the room you use in perfect order. Don't walk off and let the girls do it all. Make yourselves useful until the work is finished.
