M. F. H. S. PILOT 1 BUSY lv' DAY I I HOW TO GAIN FRIENDS True friendship is a wonderful thing. Few people who have the opportunity realize the beauty of it. Many do not have the chance because they have no true friends. It is for these people I am writing How to Gain Frinedsl' and I sincerely hope it will be benefi- cial to them. In gaining friends the first thing to remember is to smile. YVhen you meet anyone for the first time it is only natural for you to wish to make a good impression. The best way I know of lo do this is to smile-a genuine smile and not a silly, insincere grin. After you have met the person and are left to carry on a conversation with him. be friendly, forget yourself, think of him- Get him to talk about himself, and be genuinely interested in what he has to say-make your interest so genuine and sincere that he can't keep from becoming interested in you. Never talk about yourself or any of vour heroic deeds. If you do this your friend is immediately going to form the opinion that you are an egoist. A frood wav to get out of this difficulty is to talk on different subjects until you find out what his hobby is, or some oarticular line in which he is interested instead of forcing on him some subject which is verv boring. Another important point to remem- her is to be interested in the other ...V j person instead of trying to get him interested in y-ou because if you are sincerely interested in hi-m that will turn his interest to you. Listen atten- tively to what he has to say, don't allow your mind to wander from his subject. Make him feel he is impor- tant and do it sincerely. The next time you meet a stranger try to practice at least some of these rules. Remember the rules-Rule 1- smileg Rule 2-Be genuinely interested in the other person to get them inter- ested in you, Dorothea Bridgham, '37 FRIENDSHIP XVe have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken How many we see, and have association with, whom we scarcely speak to, whom we honor, and who honor us. To these we do not express our thoughts but we seem to have a mutual understanding that we are friends. XYe glory in this feeling for these people. The our affections, is no winter hover on the moment we indulge in all iss cheerful and there or storms. No clouds horizon of our trust in them. Old friends and dear. They are sincere and true. NYC may think aloud before them. Their advice and council is grasped as if we fear that it will escape into thin and new alike are near
