Everyone who has been in high school knows what the things are that one would be leaving friends, teachers, lessons, and the life in which the school is so great an influence; but the one thing that I think binds all these things together and will never leave is a spirit. Yes, a spirit that enters us when we begin as freshmen and never leaves us during the rest of our lives. The building isn’t one that is equipped with the most modern materials and the walls are rather dingy; but behind those walls is an unexplainable something that makes us love the school and everything connected with it. Singing the loyalty song makes a feeling of proudness surge through our veins. We’re proud of our school, our colors, our teams, and the right to stand up and sing the song that stands for all these things. The loyalty that each person holds in his heart makes the spirit grow. Perhaps some can't feel it as strongly as others, but it’s there; and all of us will realize more clearly on that eventful night when our names will be read to receive diplomas that we will have an empty feeling but the spirit will never leave our souls. Peggy Graham 9xi Q fonle £a$ineAA Ah' What is more wonderful than a soft seat under a shady tree, a glass of icy cold lemonade in one hand and a box of gooey chocolates in the other; with a new magazine thrown in for good measure? Anyone who cannot enjoy this is surely both mentally and physically deficient. Personally 1 could think of nothing more wonderful and anyone who derides such things should surely be hanged and without delay. I say this because I think that laziness is really an art and not to be ridiculed and laughed at. Anyone who can sit in a classroom and feel thoroughly relaxed while a lecture about chemistry or some such thing is being delivered is surely one of the greatest of artists. Some people hurry and worry and fidget to get work done, but I feel actually sorry for them. Yes, really and truly sorry, for they are missing one of the greatest pleasures in life. Perhaps one day they shall regret it, but what a pity it is that they cannot have a full, happy life while there is yet time. How much better off the world would be today if there were more lazy people. Just picture the happiness that would arise if great men, now overworking their brains with military things would sink down in their big, soft, easy chairs and say, “Don't bother me with that boring stuff , James. Just bring me my pipe and slippers. Well, there is much to be said in the defense of laziness, but I have only one thing to say to all of these ambitious energetic people, “You don't know what you're missing' Marjorie Grandt Page 21
