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.

So I think this proves my statement mentioned in the paragraph before that it was usually miss, because it was not that we c:°udd j? hoar dorrcctly, but that our lingers just wouldn't go in the right direction. e At the end of one of the longest hours that re have over known, ned some one looked into that typing room you would have seen the ’ pupixs looking very relieved and most of us very subdued to the Fate lucn was before us for the next nine months of school.
