be aware of it. We are given opportunities by the score for development of mind and body; we are given work; we are given play. But the greatest of all these is the everpresent opportunity to make friends. The value of this gift may be represented by an “x, as its amount is unknown, depending upon the eagerness of each girl to accept it, and upon the extent to which she makes use of it. Every activity which invites our time and attention has a social aspect the development of which far excels in importance the generally-recognized accomplishment of that activity; namely, the contact it gives us with each other. The Ingenuity Contests, for example, illustrate this. The enjoyment of the performance by the audience is not to be compared with the pleasure which the girls who are contesting have had in working with their respective classmates Thus the value of the performance is infinitesimal compared with the possibilities of friendship that have been afforded during the time of frantic preparation. For association with a girt in a practical task will reveal her true self to an extent which never could be discovered by observation Her sportsmanship, her sense of responsibility, or perhaps nothing more than her power of understanding, wins our admiration and, before we know it, the foundation for a friendship. The same is true, in varying degrees, in all our studies and sports; in fact, we are literally swamped with opportunities for forming these priceless ties So swamped are we, indeed, that unfortunately many pass by unused. I do not know of anything that impresses me more as the days go by than the number of attractive, inteb ligent, worth-while girls with whom it is our privilege to associate. And yet some of us are content with narrowing our little circles of friends until the circles are scarcely more exten- sive than a dot— one single co-mate 1 It is this girl who is the least appreciative of her Alma Mater ' s gift. Doubtless time, common interest or purposes, or other forces bring about a deeper devotion to those of our particular group. Herd tendencies, we are told, are natural animal instincts. The point is, however, that it is a grave error for us to confine ourselves entirely to this narrow scope and not make a conscious effort to enlarge it. One attached to another by affection, regard, or esteem — that is Mr. Webster ' s definition of a friend. Perhaps we differ; perhaps we agree. At any rate the matter is worth pondering Ponder, then, and see how many friends you can boast The result will be a revelation to you. — Janet Gardner, Editor Hn ' Chief 9
