S?- BLUEzMJH ITE Volume I April 17, 1931 Number 4 What is a Friend I I’ll tell you. A friend is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked before him. He seems not to ask you to put on anything, to be only what you are. He does not want you to lo‘better or worse. When you are with him, you feel as a prisoner who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, as long as it is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in your nature which leads others to misjudge you. With him alone, you breathe freely. You can avow your little vanities, envies, hates, and vicious sparks, your meannesses and absurdities, and in opening them to him they are lost, dissolved on the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands. You do not have to be caroful. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him. Best of all, you can keep still with him. It mattors not, ho likes you. He is like fire that purges all you do. Ho is like water that cleanses all you say. Ho is like wine that warms you to the bone. He understands, ho understands. You can woop with him, laugh with him, sin with him, pray with him. Through and undomeath it all, ho sees, know; and loves you. A friend, I repeat, is one with whom you dare to be yourself. So long as we love, we serve. So long as wc arc loved by others, I would almost say wc are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.

I happened to sec a largo rock about in the middle of the two animals so I shot at tho rock, when tho bullet hit the rock it broke and one piece hit the bear and killed it and the other hit the wild cat and killed it, but the gun kicked so hard it knocked me back into a lake, when I crawled out an eel ran out of ny gun barrel. I also had a beaver in one hand end a muskrat in tho other and my trousers were so full of fish that my suspender button flew up and killed a quail.

Once upon a tine a lone while ago, so long ago that there was no Christian Era as yet, there tool: place an annual spring festival that as called Easter. Easter was so called because it raoant frou the east and it narked the return of the sun from its southern tour, bringing warmth . and revival in its rays. Eastor at this time was the most important holiday, and become the day of family reunions. It tras a day of feasting and was gradually turned into a day of celebration for the Goddess Easter. The story of the Goddess is fonilor, she having been hatched in full fori end great beauty fron an egg. This was supposed to have bec-n dropped from the heavens beside the river Euphrates. This legend accounts for the egg as the correct Easter food. How the rabbit cone to be laioxm as the distributor of Eastor eggs nay be tracod to the German legend which credited the hare, the rabbit's Gcman contemporary, with being r.s necessary for the delivery of Easter eggs as Saint Nicholas for the delivery of Christmas gifts. Christ, the Risen One, i3 present on this day to the faithful and to all his followers it is celebrated as the day when Christ brought freedom to the human race.

THE ELU2 AND Till 11 l n Science Department Chemistry: '”611, it has been 3 long time since the Mid-Year Examinations, but Mr. Rothenoorger has been on the job every day imparting new facts to his different Science classes, which include Chemistry, Biology an General Science. The Honorable Seniors and also the Junior Class have covered several Chapters in their text book, but being -ell developed mentally like all Seniors and Juniors ore, they easily gained a greet amount of knowledge about many different Chemicals and Chemical compounds. The-y h-vo a fino knowledge of Sulphur, Hydoo cn Sulphide VcoC' hichsmclls like rotten eggs) about the clothes they wear how to make Sulphuric Acid which is used in storage batteries, how to make glass acid also how to make explosives. They have al3o studied the different compounds of sodium, one of ’hich is sodium chloride, rhich is common table salt. Another group of compounds they have studied in the c. Icium compounds, one of Mich is calcium oxide, rhich is lime. In sedition to their studied the different metals and ho' to operate the pure motels 'rom the impuritic. ’T ho knows? Maybe someday the class ‘(girlo) may be Sold-diggers. 9iology And -hat have the Sophomores boon doing in their Piology classes The enror is that they have been stucing very hard while covering six long chapters hich cov-r about t- o hundred and twenty-five pages in fchoir text book. They have studied about the different animals, fisho3 and birds and know the many different clacse3 of the for.ns of life and what each class includes. The Sopho.-ares have also studied about tho Fish end the Frog. Many of you will romombor tho drawing that was on tho blackboard in the” laboratory. No I It was'nt a road map, but it was a drawing of a dra-in., of a dogfish. Th-j Sophomores hrvo also studied plant and animal brooding and all about Mendel's Law. (If you don't know it, a ok a Sophomore to toll it to you). They have sl3D studied about the different foods, end kno- hich foods and how much of thorn o should oat to keep in tho best of hoalth. They can also tell you ho this food is digested aft r you :.hve 'icn it because they have studied the chapter in thei text book or. Digestion. General Science: The Freshmen in their General Science Classes have not boon loafing either. They have covered about one hundred and seventy-five pa_e3 since the Mid-year's. They know all about the earth, bow it '5 formed, hat it contains, ho- tho valleys with tneir rivers end mount' ins -ore formed, and many other interesting things. Some of the Freshmen may be excellent farmers some dry because they have studied about the different kinds of eail '..d .cmor --tilth kind is the best for plants (more than likely, • Gedc els:). They have also studied about The Sun's Gift of Light and ho- sunlight affects plant and mind life. I suppose some f you have noticed the card-bo: rd man 3t -ndir.g in the labor tors ho is a great nelp ta Mr. Rothenber cr in cxalaining the subject matter af the _a test text which includes the study of the different pcrt3 of the body, how the body as s whole functions.

Catharine Ulsh represented us in the declamation contest a -d reached the semi-finals. Keep up the good work Catharine, Cur class was the first Freshman Class in the history of the School to be divided. As Sophomores, our class was smaller, but we had still a hardy cooperative group. The office of president was most capably filled by Gerald Shoop. 1c selected our pennants and emblems, after having decided on buff and royal blue for our colors. Two of our members reached the semi-finals in the declamation contest, Catharine Ulsh, and Elwood Uright. 1c also proved our ability by taking first, second and third prizes in the Chamber of Commerce letter contest. In the spring we had a picnic at Rolling Green Park, with our teacher, lie. Rothenberger ns chaperon. And, this year as Juniors, and far on the roe.d to graduation, the number has dwindled tc forty-two and our class has again been re-u.ited.

At we approach this goal we cm look back upon, the past three years of work with cherished recollections a.r.d upon the year yet in the future with resplendent anticipation.

It was a big success, and very ; 11 patronized. Jerry” the hick from Sage Creclc, by heck, had the audience doubling up with laughter. Bill McNitt portrayed this character very well. Vi and Do had a terrible tine trying to catch Jerry, but they finally met two fine young gentlemen Petie and Dickie. We know Mnrg. and Jan; you won’t have'that hard a tine trying to catch a nan in real life. John and Carl, you two shicks were splendid. The mysterious woman in black—Betty, your portrayal of Mrs. Hastings was very good, and we arc glad you got over your affair with Blair Hoover, because we know you and George couldn’t live a criminal life. Margie the sweet'young daughter of Mr. Varc captured the athletic heart of Jerry, and—well, you know the outcome We don’t. Mary, if your blond hair captured Jerry. Oh Yes it did for he was attracted to you from the first. Donald, ycur acting as a father was a difficult task, but you were splendid, Mona the pert little French maid was portrayed by Helen Gcl-nott, but Gil we hope you won’t have to become a maid, in fact we know you won’t as long as Buck is around.
