Dear Seniors: On the night before he was killed in battle, an American army officer wrote a letter to his son in which he offered the following quotation as advice for the son's guidance in life. WTO thine own self be true and it follows, as the night the day, thou can not to any man be false.N will you accept this as a motto on which to build your own lives? ,,f- N , '-. 1 .42 .1 y ff ff. f f' ' f 1 ' . 5 fl f ,fifnffarflf --f , n!.l1f-fi., 901 Have a job to do, and do your best, to do it well. .n ,.-f - , ,.-ff fffx'-:!'f,4lf jg-'.A:v.f..' , . jf' L ,, If you would have success, make up your mind to do some- thing you dream of doing, Begin your work by planning the first step to be taken, and continue your work by performing one hard task each day. Cultivate the habit of persistence, which is the most important element of success, and hold steadfast to your purpose in spite of your failures. Do not expect too much at first, for achievement is not a swift race on an elevator. It is a hot, hard climb up a long steep hill. School yourself to disregard discouragement and ap- proval. Omit the ill humors of your disposition, and re- lieve your mind of the thought that you are being slighted or overlooked. Cultivate a cheerful countenance, since bat- tles may be lost by frowns, and successes won by the narrow margin of a smile. Do not interfere with others, not try to direct their lives. You'll have all you can do to make a success of your own. i 4 '! ff - . ' f'v ..-. Q71

FRIENDSHIP Pure disinterested friendship is a bright flame, emitting none of the smoke of selfishness. Its origin is divine and its results enrapture the soul. However, the world has ever been flooded with base counterfeits, many so thickly coated with the apparently pure metal that nothing but time can detect the base interior and the ulterior de- signs of bogus friends. Deception is a fault of many men and is practised throughout their entire lives. Friendship is a flower that blooms in all seasons. Wherever it is watered with the dews of kindness and affection, there you may be sure to find it in its purity. Its eternal and universal fragrance dispels every thought of envy, and purifies the mind with a priceless contentment. True friendship can only be found to bloom in the soil of a noble and self sacrificing heart, there it has a perennial summer, a never-ending season of joy to its happy possessor. No one can be happy without a friend. -R. Coates- fm,fgpf7fpQ, gZjpif7f22,?475QL4,f! Life is a gift of which the humblest person may boast, and it was given to us to bc used every dey.
