1134. 14 THE SIGNET a large company, soldiers or civilians. Let us therefore resolve to become more deter- mined day by day. Esther Libby '26. HONOR Honor is the greatest quality a man can possibly possess. One who is honorable, is quite apt to have other fine qualities. A dishonorable man is greatly despised by everyone, even by the dishonorable. He can never be trusted once his honor is lost, therefore he can never reach the heights of success. It is only too true, that many persons who are well-off, never made their wealth honestly, but by some crooked, scheming methods. Except the compara- tively few whose consciences have reached the stage of being called hare-boiled, these people are never at ease, they do not 'enjoy life. Honor is a quality which is most tempted, and once lost it is lost forever. A man who has lost all sense of honor finds it exceed- ingly diificult to re-establish himself when he wished to. Honor is not always born in the heart of a mang it is more often acquired as one matures. One who might have been con- sidered an honorable person, might easily become dishonorable by desperate circum- stances. There is the place for moral courage to play its highly important role. Honor, without moral courage to strength- en it, is much the same as a tent without poles. Honor, in my estimation is the basis of love, faith and truth. Without it there could be none of these. Could you love a person whom you did not honor? No. You love a person because you honor him. You trust and have faith in him. You believe in him. Therefore you see honor, ever since the beginning of the world, has been the mak- ing of man. Men live for it and men gladly die for it. Once it is lost all is lost, includ- ing the greatest thing in the world-LOVE. Robert Eliot '27, Bucknam '27: Got my golf socks on to- day. Ramsay: How so? B-: Eighteen holes! Neighbor to Coughlin '28: Is your mother home, Boidy? ' Coughlin: Do you think I'm beating this rug for my health? Miss G: What would you expect a cap- tain on a ship to tell his men to do if some- one should shout Fire? Clukey '26: Run for your life. Heard on the baseball field: lst boy: Where's DeWever gone? 2nd boy: 0h,.don't worry. He's gone to hitch his car to an electric light post. Diagrams were assigned in Chemistry. DeWever: What was your lesson in on Chemistry for today. M-t '27: Pictures! Bailey '28 in word study: The men would wear derby hats sand long tailed coats walking with a cane. Prescott '28: Did you know that an aw- ful lot of girls are stuck on me? Wise Senior: . Yes, they must be an aw- ful lot. Mrs. Blake: I don't call eating recrea- tion. Student: It was in the dictionary.
