of sorrow a word of comfort and
cheer and have made many friends.
"This, 1 believe, is the greatest as
set any man, woman or child can
ever have. To be without friends is
one Of the most terrible experiences
any human can have. Have you ever
experienced being alone in large
city with thousands of people passing
you by ,and not one friend among
them? You might as we'll be on a
desert island in the midst of great
ocean.
"One can never have too many
friends, when once you have found
one always keep him, let no act or
word of yours ever loosen the heart
strings that bind you together.
"a number of men were sitting
around a conference table and one
man spoke some ugly things about
Fitzhugh Lee. Finally, little man
at the end of the table arose and
said, 'Fitzhugh Lee is not here and if
those words is Gentlemen, Fitzhugh
Lee is here, I am his friend and you
must retract those words or settle
with me-. This is friendship, wonder
full examples are recorded in litera-
ture. The beautiful stories of Jona-
than and David, Damon and 5Pythia5,
are we'll known and perhaps you know
of others. Now, with these wonderful
things you have in your possession,
how easily it should be to get along,
but strange as it may seem, some Of
us have a hard time. We think that
| certain regulations are simply made
], for us; curetailing our privileges; not
allowing us certain liberties we en-
| joy at home.
! "If there were only one man or
woman in the world no rules or reg
ulations would be necessary but
whenever two or more are associated
rules and regulations must be estab-
| lished. At home you have certain
place at the table, your own sleeping
room, keep your tooth brush on a
certain hook, hang up your hat when
you enter your home, do you?. These
and many other little things you do
unconsciously. Did you ever think
what time mother would have if
everybody did just as he pleased at
home-what disorder would follow?
"As your father drives down the
street, he keeps to the right side Of
/ the road, passes a car coming to-
ward him on the right, and to the
lleft of one going in the same direc-
! tion. What dreadful consequences
would take place if he did not follow
these rules, everybody must obey
them. In school you are required to
| be there at o'clock, not allowed to
whisper to one another because it
/ would interrupt others; many )ther
requirements are made of you; why
are they made? These are laws Law
is defined as a rule of action. a
certain way to do certain things. If
everybody would live up to the laws
what wonderful place this world
would be- No bother at home, no po-
licemen, not even any courts.
1T is very necessary for everyone
| to keep the laws, no matter what
they are Just because we don't like
them is no reason for our breaking
them. Laws amount to little if every
one interprets it as applying to the
other fellow and not applying to MIN.
/ 1t is only by concerted action that
we can make them effective and it is
to you, my young friends, that the
| task of seeing them strictly enforced
, in city, county, state and nation.
"There are two classes of people in
the rld-constructionists and de-
! observation-disclosures who build up and
those who tear down. You are of the
| former class and as you look for
ward toward your ultimate goal, you
must ask yourself, what am 1 aiming
/ at? What do 1 expect to make of
myself? Our ultimate aim in lie is
the success we make of ourselves,
whether the world is better for our
! having lived in it or not, or whether
we simply have filled a space.
"In rounding out our lives there
are three very essential elements,
physical, mental and spiritual. have
placed physical first, for with a de-
fective sight of hearing. twisted spine
or diseased body, no one can put
forth his best efforts toward mental
advancement.
"How very necessary that we should
keep ourselves physically perfect. Let
us not forget that sleeping with
