MR. FRISBY INTERVIEWED IDA MASSEY. 4Gl TO obtain an interview with a very busy man is a most diflicult thing. However, after much running up to the fourth floor, we secured a much- desired audience with none other than our own Mr. Frisby. Not only is he a teacher, but he handles the placing of our students downtown. Mr. Frisby discussed at length with us the present economic situation, and we quote his own words: In these days young men and wo- men would do well to get a good gen- eral education. Skill is useful only when there is something to do, and skills you get in a school like this are skills which will help you in your ef- fort to have an all-round education. Use your skills, let them work for you. If you can take shorthand at a good rate and set up your trans- scription neatly, be sure you go to hear the best speakers, take down the speeches, transcribe them. Many a secretary has obtained a liberal edu- cation by such methods. There is a difference between mere training and the broad view of education. But it is probable that an expert stenographer will think better than one who is inexpert. In fact, what is needed is the set of mind which makes perfection the only goal and the struggle to obtain it the only satisfaction. This is living. All else is merely existence. It seems to me that many students have a view-point of education, which really uniits them for life. Indeed, if one is to work with a good mind, one needs a mind that is good. Employ- ment with good people is only open to those who have excellent character, keen minds and disciplined dis- positions. People who are dealing with con- ditions, these days, know that things fC07Zfl??,'ll6CZ on page 921 Twenty-four n'u'u'-Fh'-'-'-'-F-'-'-'n'-'n'-'u'-'-'-'-l'u!-!-F'n'nHn'-'E I To a Fdendh .4-.'..'.'.-.P.-.-.-.'.'.'.-.-.'.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.'.- H P S 5 Q W E F O'1:3f+c-o-SDrr- C+ gP1'49g,I2l'Dv-l- 5 Q- O rn CD cn cn ,.,. gg cn UQ m UQ H, FD SD gg 99 so an CD rs Canada? 2 555265 cb . .

YOUTH AND PLEASURE ' MEET EDNA DAMON, 4SI SOFT lights and sweet music! The north gym once more served' as a place of festivity, on the occa- sion of the school dance. 'Twas on February 17. Being close to St. Val- entine's day, the gym was decorated in red and white with balloons strung across the ceiling, transforming it in- to a palatial ballroom. Spotlights were focussed on the orchestra, and one on the dancers, the colors changing constantly. Refresh- ments were served in the cafeteria during intermission and punch was served all evening. And, miracle of' miracles, the said punch actually lasted until the end! A spot dance and a tag dance were run off success- fully. Several of the teachers were in attendance and quite enjoyed the frivolity. EASTERN ECHO

A VISIT FROM DR. PRATT Joe SOLOMON, SPECIAL u ON the afternoon of December 17th, a packed auditorium listened at- tentively to the description of the miraculous rescue of the British freighter the Antinoe, by the United States' passenger boat the S.S. Roosevelt. When news of the heroic rescue broke , Dr. Pratt immediately went to New York and obtained first-hand information from the crew of the Roosevelt. By special permission he was shown how every mode of life- saving, and how the various equip- ment used in the rescue was put into effect. Personal interviews with the captain and the officers of the Roose- velt widened the scope of his knowl- edge of the affair. It was in Novem- ber, 1926, when the British freighter became overpowered by the terrific storm which lashed the Atlantic fur- iously for days. The Antinoe had foundered, and although radio communications had been made, on account of the heavy fog she could not be located. After seventy hours of searching in vain, and with hope almost exhausted, the S.S. Roosevelt's captain sighted the unfortunate steamer in a dangerous position. Two of the United States sailors sacrificed their lives in this heroic rescue. It was a case, Dr. Pratt continued, of the ancient ele- ment of heroism on the high seas. He emphasized the importance of the introduction of the radio compass, which was invaluable in locating the Antinoe. It was the first great ex- ploit executed by the use of the radio compass. This works as a finder and shows the direction of the lost steamer. In conclusion Professor Pratt read the poem written with the pen pre- EASTERN ECHO E'-5:'u'-Fu1'u'u'-'-'-'- u -'-'n'-'-'n'u'-'-'-'-'-'u'-'rll WINDOWS KATHLEEN TWYNN. 3C I :5 I E The eyes of a world. to us un- known, ' Are the Windows surrounding many a home.
