So many in this group, and so many over there, all are my dearest friends. Yet if I were sick, if I should meet with some accident, or if some disgrace should befall me, how many of these so considered friends would remain loyal and do all in their power to comfort, cheer and console me? Some would say, Oh, well, I can't be bothered with that person since no one else likes her, or I am not going to spend all my time with her when she is ill, or She has become so poor, I shall not waste my time with her. If a churn is a true friend, he will not desert us in time of poverty, misfortune and sickness, he will not fail to do all he can to help us through some of the more diflicult passes of life, and he will never sneer at us. The true friend, who is our companion in good luck and happy times, will also be our companion at any depressing time. Therefore, if we consider ourselves the true friend of someone, let us not forget our duty at all times. R. Walker '29, A Helping Hand Now that it is time for the Seniors to leave the school which has done so much for them through the four years that they have been in high school, they begin to think of things which they would like to do again. If they could have the opportunity, they would improve a great number of them. Time, however, can never be recalled, so the best that the Seniors can do is to help others to proit by their mistakes. If each new Freshman would set himself to work with a will at the very beginning, he would accustom himself to it soon and it would become a habit. Perhaps they will think that studying is a grind . It is, when you have a lot of it to do in a few minutes, but if you spend all of your time in school to good advantage, not fooling, and an hour at home, you will find that you can prepare your work well. Of course, there are subjects that are hard for all of us. Those are the studies which we dislike and on which we spend the least amount of time. We must do them well, however, before we can possibly master them. The iirst two and a half years in high school is the time to work. The last year and a half is the time to play a little. If you are used to getting low marks in three of your four subjects, try getting high ones for a change and see how much better you feel about it. None of us like to take advice, so for you Freshmen, or Freshmen-to-be, who read this, don't read it as advice but merely as a little help from one who knows. V. Olmsted '28 Dreams I planted three small dreams today In a corner of my heartg Two rosy ones where shadows play, And a wee white one apart. I set them in a sunny place Where little cool thoughts blow And left them such a lot of space They can not help but grow. Commencement time is here! To many it means the fulfillment of their fondest dreams, to others it is merely a stepping stone into that larger dream, of college. Have the dreams you planted when you first thought of life, education and pleasure grown? You were the ones who made those dreams grow. Did you give them enough space to develop into the real thing? You must have! Now you are graduating, life is merely starting. Plant some more dreams and cherish them dearly so that some day you may make a name for yourself, Le Roy, and dear old L. H. S. I
