L iE illllll 5 .o Lu. , LA KNOW THYSELF A philosopher, proud of his knowledge of self, was asked by a boy how many stars there are in heaven. That, said he. I do not know. I am more concernedwith things close to my eyes. How many hairs are there in your eye- brows? asked the youth innocently. Knowledge of self is important: without it, one criticizes wrongly, gives the world a false impression. and hinder one's own success. It is rather stupid and disconcert- ing. is it not. to find fault with others when one does not know one's own demerits? Is it not far fore attempting to cure those in strangers? What good influence on his friends can a person hope to have who has purified his own character not at all? Deep down in his heart, a human being really knows himself as he actually is, and not as others behold him. How cad like a creature re- vered and esteemed by the public must feel if he knows he is honestly a wretch at heart. By studying him- self. he can live up to other people's ideas of him. Public opinion is a vitally important factor in the life of the most secluded living being. One should really live up to the world's standard by knowing himself and. consequently, bettering his life. How can anyone hope to succeed without analyzing his character and talents. discovering his real stock in life. and using it? If a man finds he is base and ignorant, honestly knows he is. he will surely Cif he is worthy of the name man j try to make himself Hner and more well-versed. Success depends upon knowledge of self: for after knowledge of self fol- low improvement and trust in self. the very elements of success. Have a session with yourself. '29, and each of you. classes '30, '31, and '32! Have a stocktaking, an invent- ory. Get rid of that which is old, outmodeled and unnecessary! Make room for newer. more splendid ma- terial! Know Thyself. Editor. PARTING AT Seniors, we are now spending our last few days in dear old Brockton High School. drifting back What memories come to us. The various events in which we excelled-foot ball. basketball, baseball, opera, socials and scholastic honors-all these We must leave behind for the Juniors to carry on as best they can. We shall leave not only social events but also our ethics periods, in which Mr. Rye weekly gave us talks on character. health. school spirit and other subjects. These helpful talks have. in a way. prepared us for what is to come after our graduation. I am sure that we are all very grate- ful and thank Mr. Rye sincerely for his guidance and his helping hand. Our first year was a very trying one to most of us. The numerous errors which we made then. we avoided in the following year. It was as Sophomores that we gained more friends and chose our Class Officers
