4 M. F. H, S. PILOT the end of a week, or a month or a year, but daily, hourly, and unexpect-A edly. T The chances f-or honor and fineness which Fate is constantly offering us lie oftener in small than X in large things. The one who waits for some big opportunity to prove her high sense of lzonor may wait a long time. The road which in the end will lead to the greatest happiness is the road called Honor, but it is at first no road at all-only a little footpath in your life and mine. Following it will lead you to broad roads and highways lead- ing through noble cities, past kings' palaces into wide green pastures and beside peoceful waters. Pauline Giddinge, '39 THE VALUE OF SUPPLEMEN- TARY READING XVhat are the names of the currently popular fiction and non-fiction books? Who wrote Gone With The Wind or the American Doctor's Odyssy? Du you know? Donlt be ashamed if you d-on't, for thousands of high school stu- dents have no idea such good reading material exists outside of their school books and the newspapers. To have a well-balanced, unbiased mind, it is necessary to read, read, read. As students, we find it hard to realize this, for we depend on our stud- ies to take care of that. However, have you ever thought how much our re- spective studies would be improved if we read a good book occasionally? Vocabulary, broader knowledge, betler ways of expressing our thoughts and ideas and countless other advantages may be gained by developing this worthwhile habit. Undoubtedly the best way to dis-' cover the best books to read, is by con- sulting either the book review list in the New York Times, or The Saturday Review of Literature, the latter to be found in our own school library. After writing down your preferences, consult your librarian, and find out just what she has in that list that appeals to you. Be consistent in your reading. Do not read all fiction, neither go to the other extreme and devour all non-fic- tion. Try to keep it well balanced, and what is more important, keep in mind that while you are reading for your own pleasure you are constantly improving your mind. Doesn't the picture of a cozy corner, a deep chair, soft lights, a crackling fire-place and a good book appeal to your imagination? NVhy not make it a reality, and discover one of the most enjoyable and broadening pastimes :ne can cultivate. Marie Merrill. '37 NVe wish to extend our appreciation to those who made this edition of The Pilotl' possible by their Mads. VVe are very grateful to them and feel sure they will get much satisfaction for aid- iz g a worthy cause.
