Be a Friend

What could give one more COM
fort in this old world of ours than
to know you are friend.
Being a friend is probably one of
the least costly things one can do.
Everything else requires a greater
price.
Being a friend, you don't need
money; you don't need glory; and
vet the award is bigger maybe not
In figures, but in other ways.
All one needs is sunny DISPOSE
ton, a kindly smile now and then,
and a hand extended to some one
unbefriended just the will to give
or lend will make you someone's
friend
Pass by those trifling errors
blindly. Gaze on the honest efforts
kindly Remember that only through
efforts may one be on top. If you
have been successful and don't help
the one who is also trying to be a
success, then your success Is no bet
ter than failure.
Be a true friend. You shall reap
the rewards of true nobility even
though you don't sit on throne.
You'll be richer in the end than a
prince. if you're friend
And could I, personally, have one
wish this year TO my best and most
noble friend, I'd say:
I'D like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that you've
been always glad TO be,
I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
AS you have meant, old friend OF
mine, to me along the wayi'

Senior Week

For the Seniors, this week is a
busy one There are cards to be
written, announcements to be adj
dressed, and graduation pictures to
be sent. There are banquets, teas
and picnics, for which there is a
great deal of planning involved.
Ut is being rumored that Sneak
Day is being planned-dont know
where or When).
Besides the more interesting ac-
tivities there is the grosser side
which nevertheless involves time
and effort, and goes toward making
busy week buster Those gross
er things which nearly every SEN
Tor has due on Friday, are various
notebooks and experiment books.
Seniors have much to think about
these last few days of school.

You Have to Speak Up

Nothing deserves to be rebuked
more than interruption of church

those young men in the rear get
through flirting with girls | hope
they will give me a chance" And
he wondered why the congregation
