Why Not a Play?

To the Editor Of womdns Pane;
Dear Madam-Our high school has
school paper which is published monthly
We have almost enough money to puD-
lish 1t the entire term. but we need
about 5000 more Will you please sug-
gest some way in which we can raise
this money?
II you think an entertainment would
be suitable. please tell us something new
and different. Spelling bees usually are
successful, but there will be quite few few
given this winter and we would like
something new. B' Il. H.
Something new and different" does
not exactly suggest the idea of giving a
play. but this is a very good method or
raising money for your school paper
and one which is likely to interest lot
Of people 1t Is always important to get
as many people as possible to be enthu-
siastlc over a thing like this. and there
are so many matters to be attended TO
with n play. 1t is not only the cast
which Is kept busy there Is also prop
ertv committee which sees to the stage
settings. and there is a program com
mittee. too, to arrange for the tickets
and to distribute them. In fact, as you
see, there is work for everybody, and, II
everybody helps, they will get great
deal Of fun out of It. And you know
how people like to come TO play in
which they can see the very same boys
and girls whom they know. all attired in
strange clothes and acting, well, yes,
differently from usual. but still recog-
nizable by a characteristic grin or a
certain walk" Don't you think your
self that play is the very best idea
Surely one of the teachers in your school
would help you with II. I hope that your
paper will continue to be a success and
that the entertainment will earn all the
money you need for II or, at least, a
good big part of It.

THROUGH A WOIMAN'S EYES
Who Is Ny Friend?
BY JEAN NEWTON

IF that girl is permitted to keep on
dccciving herself that she can write she
will soon have herself down for died
in the wool genius. As n true friend,
it is my painful duty to stop this nom
sense
And if she did this painful duty the
chances are that she suffered the painful
loss Of a friend.
To most of us who dream, those
dreams are very precious part OF
life. Is it not to be expected. then,
that we should love those who help
us to sustain them. and resent. rs we
would any other depreciation, an at
tempt to tear them apart?
After all, is it the duty of true
friend to "stop the nOnscnSe'-to end
those dreams? l wonder.
It has been said that anticipation
holds more pleasure for us than rcaliza-
ton. And whether our dreams come
true or not, we are certainly happier
for having had them. Is it then true
friend who would take them from us?
Real dreams thrive on disappoint- :
ment. on defeat. And the older we get
the closer we hug them to us, the more
scnaciously. the more passionately we
cling to them, and the more does the
