I regret that I drdn t try harder to learn more Th1s rs the only opportunrty that we w1ll have for free educatxon rf we go on to college we shall have to pay for our educatlon When I thrnk of thrs fact I realrze that I could have accom plrshed much more As I conclude, I would 11ke to say that I am very proud of my school and of the students who attend lt I only hope that succeedrng classes wtll keep up the hrgh standards of Besse Hrgh School throughout the comrng years Mary Fuller 59 IR Il RUSH VP What IS fr1endsh1p Frlendshrp IS an affectlon toward a person that arxses from mutual esteem and understandlng of that person Frrendshlp 1S created when two people enyoy the same thmgs together Through the shaung of ex perlences and good trmes a good sound bas1s for frrendshtp rs establrshed Many frrendshrps have been drssolved when people take for granted another s frrendshrp Frlendly relatlons cease when a person allows frrendshrp to become stagnant Instead of commumng with h1s fr1ends and keepmg the acqualntance shrp al1ve, he tends to seek sattsfactlon and enjoyment elsewhere frndrng too late that I-Iappmess ltes rrght 1n your own back yard Is rt worth my t1me to make new fr1ends and understand them? The answer 15 certarnly' Even though we thmk we enjoy other thrngs more we don t stop to consrder what the world would be ltke rf we suddenly had no frrends, no one who cared whether we were happy or sad When we make a new frrend or help somebody by llstemng to thelr problems and tryrng to understand them we are actually helprng ourselves In a way we are earnmg for ourselves a mark of honor 1n our book of good deeds The abrlrty to make fr1ends 1s a good asset Usually a person who can make fr1ends easlly w1ll have a pleaslng personallty He 1S a person that people emoy berng wrth therefore he has many frrends So rf we ever wonder 1f rt s worth our trme to help and gulde others to a better fulfrllment of lrfe we should stop and thmk how dull l1fe would be 1f we were alone and had no fr1ends Thlnk of all the good tlmes we w1ll mrss we have no fr1ends wrth whom to share the fun For, only through fr1ends wrth whom we have many pleasant tlmes can we possrble lead a well rounded and normal lrfe Mane Alexander 60 ., .. , i.
