L. OUR TEAt1I1l+1RS Wherever you go, liast or West, you will hear of teaehers, good, bad and iiidit'l'erent, but Where will you find a better lot of teaehers than we have right here in Jordan High School? Well, l can tell you, you will have a. long long search and will end up right where you started. They are always ready to help those who are in need of help, ready to sacrifice their time for a good cause, or ready for a good time with the rest of us. Of course, now and then they make us a present of a period or two, but we usually deserve it, Hlld maybe more. You ean't. hold that against theme, they just want to show us how very dignified they can be. Who can forget the good times we have had together during the past four years ? Our teachers have always been ready to help us in any out- side activity, ready to aet as chaperoncs at parties, class rides, hikes and trips that may have been taken. Recall, for example, that well remem- bered Washirigtoii trip! And very fine ehaperones they make too, not too mueh so, but jolly good company and ready to be youngsters with the rest of us. We eertainly hope that their recollections of these good times will be as pleasant as ours. l wonder how many of us realize that the years spent in high sehool are the best years of our life, and that our teaehers are our best friends? Maybe we do not realize it now, but We surely will later. So let us all join in in saying, Hers-'s to our teachers, the best in the state, the best in the United States, long life, health, wealth and happiness! Nellie Dawes HAPPINESS VIA FRI ENDS The road was long to the little cottage on the outskirts ot' the town: a long, thirsty, road, with deep ruts in the gravel. or perhaps, in the mud. Large stones, embedded in the gravel, blocked the way of the weary passersby, causing them to stub their toes as they plodded along. Tiny stones played hide and seek in the shoes of the few who ehanced to pass that way. And at the end of that road, a cottage, only a cottage. but it was a shrine of Happiness that lay at the end of the long dusty road,- llappiness via Love!

J. ll. S. li'OlilO 7 That way to llappiness is not for all people, although there is a road, neither too hot nor dusty, t'or people of all ages-the road to Happiness via lt'1'i0IlllS. People live on this earth whose minds are so superior, whose ideals are so nmeh purer, that it is really a. physieal impossibility for them to be friends with the people arouml them. Not to have a friend in this vast worldg the thought is eruel, heartless. Yes, but the faet is there are people who eau not. elaim a single friend. Friends-l wonder-how many kinds ot' friends there are. Many people use the term t'friend, lightly. carelessly. A friend in the truest sense ean not be found and appreeiated by time and tests. Not tests earet'ully planned. but tests which eome as a result of eireumstanees, One of God's greatest gifts to mankind is that of friendship. lt. is a thing whieh has existed through the ages as one of the ways to the fulltillment of man's grea.t.est desire,F the desire of Happiness. Friendship is abusedg every great thing is. It is trodden upon, seorned, and even thrown away into diseard, like old clothes which have passed out ot' styleg but friends do not lie,-they appear here and there in unexpeeted plaees along the roadway of life, with a kindly hand, a sunny smile to send you on your way to Happiness. Everyone is seeking for Happiness. The ways are many and varied. Some seek it in money, in fame, in drink, or foolish pastimes. The shortest way, the truest way tried out through countless ages, is the Way to Happiness via Friends. M. G. A PLEA FOR REGULAR REUNIONS XVell, we've been togetlier t'or four years-not so very long, perhaps, in the history of the worldg but. today, looking back, it seems like a rather important. period in ODI' history. Are we well acquainted? Cer- tainly we are! Have we had good times together-and lots of 'em'? No one can deny that we have. Taking everything into consideration, won't. we blushingly admit that, o11 the whole, we're a pretty good elass. Of course! Fine! Nothing like being ol' the same opinion! Now to be serious, we are a elass of good friends-every elass is. lt is impossible for a hundred individuals to go through the work and pleasures of high sehool without being in one sense a big family. Now, why is it' that today every- thing must end '? True, we ean't all go on togetherg truer still, we shall have new interests. Can we not be broad enough so that birth of new interests will not neeessitate death of old ones? Other elasses in the past have attempted to hold regular reunions and failed. Can not we sueeeed? Can we not hold regular meetings at some time of the year, at Christmas or in June when the largest number of ua will be in town? Let's try it, eaeh year appointing a committee to take eharge of the next entertainment, reunion or whatever you wish to eall it. W0l1lfll1yt we enjoy meeting again? Psychology tells us that a happy
