QUIST Nurmi Eskil came to our class direct from Norway almost six years ago, and dur- ing these years he has excelled us all in our studies and various other things. He is editor-in-chief of the 'lVlAG1C1AN'. We all thought that he was unsuscep- tible to women's charms and it was with great surprise that we changed our minds. He is 'E'xcelling, 'G'itted, 'r:. ntertaining and 'L.2'uiet. Roxua 1. SLOPPY ..S0x,.

RAY STROTMAN ..Ray.. 5 Always tired and sleepy in appear- ance, with no excess of ambition, Ray surprised the school by his wonderful work on the basketball floor last winter. He has an unusual talent for drawing and sketching but doesn't care much for school work. No matter if he does seem bored with life in general, he- is 'H'an- dy, 'R'eckless and 'Speedy in basket- ball. HELEN C. SWANSON Swanny To Helen we give the honors for be- ing late to school. But no matter how many times she was late, Helen was always cheerful when she did arrive: even though the teachers weren't. She is a jolly good sport, as the English say, and is 'H'earty, 'C'arefree, and 'S'incere. Sixteen

VIOLA MILLARD ,.Vi,, Quiet and unassuming, Viola goes about her studies without attracting much attention but we miss her when she's absent and that's the real test. She is a steadfast member of the Girl Reserves and anything she attempts is carried through quietly and firmly. In fact, 'P'atience, 'V'erity and 'M'erri- ness describe her very aptly. AUDREY I.

lil FJ P E121 :the 1952 magician can luuffsg friends 81 friendship fl! I K' f vf 'f, Friends constitute an es- wgiyfgv sential in the life of every in- M M dividual. No normal person , Q , llliliiiiiiiiiiiiiigggfg X can live his life alone. There , I are times in our lives when the 1 lllE:::5::::::::.g5ggg kind words of a friend cannot f555f:if:'5m:i V' comfort us, and then there re- mains just one thing for us to do. We must seek help and guidance from the only friend that will never fail us,- namely, God. The love of a friend is the dearest thing in all the world, and no man is so happy or miserable that he can scorn or reject it. ln both happiness and sorrow, the heart of a friend is our common need. In the great things that make life worth while, the hearts of true friends beat as one. Deep in the heart is sown the seed of friendship, and good friends are towers of strength to us. When our burden is greater than we can bear, they will share it with us, and when our life is pleasant and easy, they will increase our happiness. The best time in life to make friends is during our youth, and what period in our youth is better suited for the purpose than our school days? The friends we make while we are in school will grow dearer and dearer as time goes by. The cares of life will knit us closer, and if sorrow should come, time will weave a bond between us that can never be broken. Sorrow brings out friends like spring brings out flowers, and there are no truer friends than those who have shared our griefs and faced the storms of life with us. The bond of true friendship is stronger than steel because it is the bond of sacrifice for each other, the perfect reliance upon each other's strength, and the perfect trust in each other's advice. This bond will give counsel in perplexity, courage in fear and wise encouragement in great enterprises. What then, you may ask, is the definition of a true friend? This question is very hard to answer in a clear and direct manner. The following may give some idea of a true friend: A true friend is one who will stick by you in sunshine and rain, in sor- row or happiness. One that will know when to uige you, and when to hold you in check, and who will not give up great en s for smaller things. To choose the right kind of friends is difficult, but if we would only remember that our friends largely determine our way of living, and that a friend with a bad reputation will give us the same kind of a reputation, I be- lieve that we would make our choice with greater consideration and forethought. We should seek the inspiration of those who feel that the world is real, and that everything about us has its importance. Every year we should widen pf... ,. Seventeen 141 ff 'X , lg l , , , . , '-
