To my mind, next to true friends, come good , 'W 51-56 THE EASTERN ECHO D Books T IS chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds, and these invaluable means of communication are within the reach of all. ln the best books great men talk tous, give us their most pre- cious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. -William' Ellery Channing. It seems to me that there is no other single element so important, so beneficial and so nec- essary to humanity in general as good books. Books supply every need. They inspire, in- struct, aid, provide pleasure, bring comfort and often entire forgetfulness of one's sur- roundings, bring beauty to sordid places, bear us to lands afar, in short, their worth is incal- culable. There are books of all types for all people. There are books on art, music, po- etry, history, biography, scienceg and for the general reader, wealth untold in novels. The reader of books is never narrow. He has at his command the thoughts and expres- sions of a vast multitude of thinkers. l-le is able to have the broadest and most worthwhile opinion on every timely subject. l-lis views are strengthened and ennobled by widespread reading. It is a noble thing to have written a good book, a book that will live through the agesg a book that will help some one in need, bring comfort to another, inspire and uplift another, and bring to all an atmosphere of beauty and truth. Such books are deplorably rare, espe- cially in the present day, but are thus all the more to be valued. books as the most vital, helpful and wonderful things on earth. True friends are few, but there are many, many true books. Where can one find more steady, tried and true friends than among books? Books are always at one's disposal. They do not changeg they have no silent nor sombre moodsg they have never been known to disagree or argue with one, except, of course, in an abstract sense. My books are friends that never fail. me. l have always been accused of being a bookworm, and told that books are undoubtedly my hobby and l am both proud and happy to admit it. l sincerely trust that the time will never come when l do not find comfort, and joy, and love, and help, ancl companionship in my books. -Nancy D. Blatter, '24. Q Friendship EBSTER defines friendship as One of the most beautiful stories l have affection arising from mutual ever heard is the story of the friendship of feeling or good will, but to me it two men-David and Jonathan. People who means something more beautiful profess to be friends should read this story ' EMT: ei and indefinable, something which and see what true friendship really involves- is the anchor of my joys and sorrows, my tri- umphs and disappointments. Without friends life would be dull and unpromising. The Golden Rule, which says, Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, is, l think, the principle of true friendship. God did not create his children and put us on this earth to live in never-ending conflicts, and bitte-rness and hatred toward each other. ln- stead, l'le wanted us to live together, to mingle with each other, to love and respect each other and to help each other. sacrifices, joys, sorrows, triumphs, disappoint- ments. If more people would take this attitude of friendliness, I believe there would be less civil feuds, and perhaps, less wars. As long as l can prove myself trustworthy, l hope that l shall be forever increasing the number of my true friends-for, after all, the pleasures and enjoyments that we get out of life are doubled two-fold in value when we can share them with our friends. -Rose Greenberg. i

Silence is platinum, 'specially in study hall. We must bear with the noisy piano which is in the gym beneath us, lout talking is not nec- essary. It is very annoying. Children should be seen and not heard. If girls would write notes and pass them, not causing a commotion, teachers would not object, l'm sure. An even better plan is to take notes on what you want to say. and say it after class. So saying, l close with the maxim: lt is never too late to do right. -Kitty mm-i Objects to Saving Seats To the Editor: l think that one of the most provoking things in 'the lunchroom is the saving of seats. Many times whole tables are saved and are then not always used, while other girls are walking around hunting for seats. It is very irritating to ask one girl whether this or that stool is taken and then to be told that it is. l have asked so many girls that l finally have Hnished my lunch standing up. l know many girls will say that the same thing has happened to them. -Mildred Jacobs, '26. IllllllIlllllIllIllllilllllllllllllllllIlIIIIIIllIIIIIIIlIllIIIll!IIIIll!IIllllllllIIIIIIIIllI!!IIli Q Music Hath Charms To the Editor: There are several things that grate on one's nerves, and one of these things is the tune of the piano down in the gymnasium. When the girls play it at lunchtime for dancing it is not a pleasure to dance to the music of a piano that is so out of tune. We also use it for marches and dances in gymnasium and one may easily imagine how hard it is to keep step to such music. l think if it were tuned immediately it would be of much more service and pleasure to the school than if it were allowed to get from had to worse, and thus he of no use at all. -Lucille Hacker. '26. .l.111- Dear Girls: What has happened to your splendid letters for the Forum? Guess how many letters were handed in for this issue of the Echo ? Three!!! For our first issue the returns swamped us. For the second we still had more than We could use. But for this issue-the third-l can't imagine what could have happened. You will notice on the Principal's Page that lVlr. Flowers calls for the opinions of the girls on various subjects. Let us hear from all of you through the Forum. We want our final issue to be the best ever so buck up and pen me a few lines.
