Y L P11013 THE LINCOLNIAN -Tun' but happy in the knowledge that to do'is better. He is a man that has traveled into the future. and he is far ahead of most. I cannot forget the time l knocked at his door and was invited in with all neighborli- ness, nor of the picture of content- ment l saw, with the English Teacher leaning against the mantel, his wife sitting in her rocker before the fire, with her sewing in her lap, and their little girl playing with her doll on the rug. There was the true American home as it shall be in the future. when the Brotherhood of Man is su- preme. There are the two boys, who have become my closest comrades since l entered high school, but whom l had never known before. Our meeting in high school brot each of us fuller enjoyment of the school life because of a friendship existing. There is a certain little girl on the platform. If high schood had brot me nothing but her friendship, that was enough to pay me for the full four years. Friends are the most prized pos- sessions, and-l believe l have gained more in high school because of the friendships l have formed, than the man, richest in money, has accumu- lated in a lifetime. Thru high school, too, I became better acquainted with my other friends, the books. During the four years spent here, l learned to discard the cheap and worthless, and to know the best in literature. Good books are among the most constant of friends. SO li go out into the future. All l take with me is the knowledge of these good friends, and the good books which cheer me and help me when my personal friends are far away. l take, too, my thotx and the memories' of four years well spent. 'MAYBE at the end of my journey. when l have ceased to wander, il will be contented to own a little farm in a neighborhood which is not trying to grow up into a metropolis. l would not want my mansion to be more than a cottage, with a few vines over the porch, and some old-fash- ioned roses and forget-me-nots. l think it would be delightful to have two big cherry trees in front, with massive limbs able to hold a half- dozen boys. lnside the cottage, l would have a large living-room, with a good-sized fireplace at one side, a hearth in- tended for something more than deco- ration, and a group of windows op- posite. ln front of the fireplace must be an armchair, upholstered with comfort. Over the mantel must be a shelf of really good books, of the kind which delight one more with each reading, but not one among them which has not won a place for itself on my shelf. I think l would choose a few of Poe's tales, certainly Tom Sawyer, and a few other vol- umes of Mark Twain: The Count of Monte Cristo, Tale of Two Cities, poems by Riley, and Burns, and Shel- ley: Vanity Fair, A Christmas Carol, and collections of essays by Holmes and Emerson. Above all. l would not forget David Grayson's books. To fit into 'the picture, and keep discord and 'chaos out, there must be that most important of all people, the Cook. 'She must be able to make pies, and see to it that l don't leave my collars on every chair in the house, or put my feet on the table: bring me back to earth when l get philosophic or poetic, and in other ways manage me properly. l believe that then l would be con- tentg in my independence more pow- erful than any king, my own boss- except for my Commander, the in- dispensable Cook!
