Just stick to the friends you've got—and thank the good Lord for them --or words to that effect.- That is a bit of advice to sea, one thinking. It suggests a philosophy rather new to some of us. We suddenly wonder, ‘Why all this trouble, seeking after popularity? Why try to please friends who would desert at the first sign of trouble? We all get to the place where we accept the friendships of those loyal, true friends of ours as matter-of-fact. We try, on the other hand, to please others who dc not gsre for us especially, and for whom v c have no especial liking. It seems to be a common desire to wish many friendships, which are flaunted as savages exhibit scalps picked-up here and there on the war-path. To the Seniors a conviction is coming. All are beginning to think (that is, we flatter ourselves we think) of the happenings during the last four years. We (Continued on next col.) FRIENDS (Continued) are beginning, too, to see that it is not acquaintances who ape going to mean the most to us, or who do meai. the most. Many of them will seldom enter our lives a£Qiri-“cer tainly in no important way. It is the real friends with whom we have shared so many of both the joys and sorrows, who will be lasting influences. They will always enrich our lives and theirs with the priceless gifts of loyalty, understanding, and love. DREAMS FULFILLED A dream has reached fulfillment, We're graduates today; Our hopes have grown and blossomed Like lilacs in the Hay. No brighter hour we'll know, Though years may come and go, Than this Commencement evening With night time stars aglow. Ahead the trial has led us From stony hill to hill; We ve scaled the hardest summits, And kept on going still. Then loomed a castle high, Its towers to the sky, .had we gave a shout of gladness Fir we knew the end was nigh. So our dream has be me us onward, We've reached our goal teday; .had with our hearts triumphant We sing along the way. Oh, hours of light sublime, Dear Graduation time, No words can voice our rapture That now we've made the climb. Su ANCIENT Oh, gee, I feel so old today! More than a million years Are sitting on my shoulders as Graduation nears. ---The Seniors
