Dear Mrs. Thompson: G) Would
YOU give up a tried and true friend, a
friend which is rare, one who would
knock down some of the saints with
their treachery, lies and gossip, would
you give up that kind of a friend for
one who adds a little to the fire and
who has been accused several times
Of being afraid of standing up for
friends?
~ After you had made your choice,
IF you were a boy. wouldn't you be
contented to abide by it?
90 Should a boy friend point out
to you how terribly inferior you are
and how greatly superior he is in ev-
cry way. what condeScenslon he has
made TO be a friend, and what remark
able traits his other friends have,
wouldn't you think there was lack
of ambition, brains or something to
still waste his time further?
"a Another thing, my boy friend
and ! have had so much trouble, He
likes to argue. l am perfectly salts
fed and cant see a thing to argue
about. l am a little country girl and
believe a boy should come full way
not half or three-quarters. He is kind
of mushy and likes girls to run after
him. Don you THINK II IS gOOu
thing to keep far away from people
against whom you have been warned,
especially if they have become so hard
ened that they can't feel that they have
done wrong?
WANTITA MORE.
ID Why give up one friend for an
other? Keep both. l think l would
prefer tried and true friend
% Not if I saw something better
than my first choice.
60 A boy should be extremely tact
full if he points out faults and should
not fiaunt his own virtues. 1t usually
pay to listen to what other people
think is wrong with you and to see ii
their opinion is not partly true. OF
course it is a mistake to waste time
with someone who makes you unhappy,
unless you can get some good out OF
being with that person.
"a A girl can be friendly to boy
without compromising herself. If she
expects a boy to go all the way all the
time he will get scared out. Many
good people who have not done wrong

There Is no doubt but that Little
Teck" is the proper and logical man
to fill the position. His line charg-

been an outstanding feature More
over. he is an expert at goal kicking.
He made the largest number of points
Of any member OF the team this year,
scoring eight touchdowns and kicking
twenty-three goals from touchdowns
for a total of. seventy-one points.
Tilsn came to Emory and Henry Col
lege from Seth Ward, Texas, in the
fall of 1915 and Immediately began to
tear up things on the gridiron. He
started out in a tackle position, but
towards the last of the season was
shifted to fullback, in which position
he proved to he a sensation.
This season he started out like a
whirlwind and has starred in every
game That he knows the game is
shown by his level headed agrees
sive playing. We may be sure that
with such captain next year football
will inscribe its name success"
