Loyalty ln viewing the people one meets in every day life, it is alarming to note the lack of loyalty in many. Loyalty is too. often made synonymous only with adherence to the prin' ciples of one's country. A citizen must be loyal to his country, otherwise the situation is contradictory. Citizenship in name only, is not sufficient, one must be active. How- ever, the purpose here is not to discuss loyal- ty to one's country, but loyalty to one's school, to one's friends. Without question loyalty to one's country comes first. It pro- motes united action. Likewise, does loyalty to one's school and friends. Loyalty to one's school means defending it at all times and taking pride in its exist- ence. It is a common practice for towns to claim that their schools are better than those existing elsewhere. Students in those schools attempt to develop their activities to heights which will bring glory to the schools. Parti- cipants strive courageously to bring victory. Their efforts indicate their loyalty. Students who keep the school grounds and building in good order are loyal to the school. They realize that the appearance of the school and its environs is instrumental in maintaining its honored position. They real- ize that damage to books, seats, walls, floors, and toilets shows disloyalty to the efforts of taxpayers to give boys and girls of the com- munity the best of facilities. Acts of destruc- tion are indicative of selfishness, treachery, as well as to disloyalty to the organization concerned. In the development of human relationships, loyalty is the keynote. Friendship will not exist if loyalty is absent. Attachment between people is developed upon the foundation of trust and respect. If one pretends friendship with another, it is a mockery, for there is no substance. If one is friendly with another, then attempts to discredit him, or agrees to malicious gossip about him, he is disloynl and the friendship between the two is quasi, not real. Instances have been noticed where two people made an appointment to go to- gether to see a show, an event, or merely to play together. In time one of the parties goes off with another. Such an act is posi- tively rude, it shows disloyalty and lack of character on the part of the participants. Such practices are too common. You are nearing Graduation Day. Soon you will join the work-a-day work. ln that world you will find hypocrisy, deceit, jeal- ousy, conceit, chicanery. The enemy of these destructive forces is friendship. You will find friendship, but you must seek for it. To be able to find it you must make yourself an attraction. Develop the qualities of friend- ship and you will attract it. Friendship is a beautiful thing. lt must be based on loyalty, otherwise it is ugly and virtually non-exist- ent. Seek the beauty in life. STEPHEN J. DROTTER Principal
