It is the custom for certain of the more musically inclined to whistle or even lift their voices in song (to be polite) whenever they leave a class. Perhaps it is a song of rejoicing or merely an expression of well being but in any case the result is apt to be distressing to anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot.

Loud whistling is especially penetrative in offices and class rooms where people are working and should have quiet. Not as a matter of dignity but out of consideration for others we should make it a point to control such exhibitions of inner emotion. These strong, silent Technology men! The Tech.
