They who are pleased themselves must always please. What sweet delight a quiet life affords! . . The newspaper press is the peoples university. A still small voice Show me a man's handwriting, and I will tell you his character. While I at length debate. and beat about the bush The lion is not so fierce as they paint him. Men of few words are the best men. Men are merriest when they're far from home. They that govern the most make the least noise. . You believe easily what you hope for earnestly. The blush is beautiful but sometimes inconvenient. Happiness consists in activity. The most effective coquetry is innocence. This little speck--'tis but a freckle,-never mind it. Moderation. the noblest gift of Heaven How much lies in laughter! Made poetry a mere mechanic art! Obliging and cheerful. industrious and kind The sunshine of life is made up of very little beams that are bright all the time. For smiles from reasons flow. A friend indeed How the teachers doctrine, sanctified by truth. shall spread! I wish he would explain his explanation. I do not like noise unless I make it. Her frowns are fairer far than smiles of other maidens are. The daughter of debate Her thoughts are often original. The mirth and fun grew fast and furious. Smies with intent to do mischief He is full of smiles and he salutes everyone he meets.

She can bake a fine cake, She can sew a fine seam- To a thoughtful young man These real virtues would seem. 22 THE PILGRIIVI NELLIE YOUNGMAN ALTON ZANUSONI No use for Kreml Or other tonic, So short his hair It won't stay on it. THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS UIQNOW thyself -yet who does? Of all the complexities on this earth none surpasses the human spirit. And none so richly rewards study by sustain- ing interest and increasing wisdom. The Senior Class has chosen a fine motto. It is also a very old one. The Greeks, I believe, built a whole system of edu- cation on it, which is a tribute to its use- fulness as well as its antiquity. They discovered land I suspect that other peoples before them, back to that twi- light time before the dawn of history, discovered it alsoj what every thought- ful man discovers for himself, that no matter what qualities of body and mind a man may possess, one quality must underwrite them all if they are to reach their greatest effectiveness. Courage is that quality. Without courage tact may be no more than cowardiceg forbearance, weakness, generosity, a covert form of bribery. And strength without courage may be- come merely contemptible bullying. Consider the past year. When school began here last September, war began in Europe. It dragged along in the west for three months only to burst out with savage violence in the north. As our Thanksgiving season ended, bombs were raining on Finland. Now that war is over, and as I write these words, a shameful peace is about to be imposed on a gallant nation. Finland has been defeated. But no man possessed of any self-respect would hesitate to take his stand with the Finns in that defeat, and be proud to stand there in defeat. For the Finns possess courage. Does anyone envy their conquerors? When the threat of this war lay over the land, the Finns, an intelligent people, knew the overwhelming odds against them. They knew that, hemmed in as they were by unscrupulous enemies, separated from their fearful friends, they could expect but little assistance should war come. But they also knew themselves. They knew their national honor, their integrity, their ideals, their very existence would be at stake-and they knew they possessed the courage to defend these. It must have been a source of strength and comfort to them as in- dividuals to know that as a nation they possessed the inner resources of the spirit which could and would sustain them in adversity. And to a man or a boy, to a woman or a girl, to each of us in his station as the trials of life press in to overwhelm, such knowledge can be a prop and a stay. We must examine ourselves, discover our resources, and supply such lacks as the examination discloses. Should cour- age be among these, we must work to increase it, for courage is a quality which grows readily if the will be resolute. Re- member the Finns and fear no defeat. Even defeat can be glorious - with courage. OUR HERITAGE A heritage is ours to guard: The mighty deeds our sires wrought, Those pioneers of ancient days. Who on these shores their freedom sought. No suffering, sacrijice, or death Could their brave hearts dismayg Their vision of democracy Is our birthright today. At tyrant's frown we do not quake, Nor live like slaves on bended knee, We stand erect, with courage strong, To guard our sacred liberty. If to our heritage we're true, We shall live in brotherhood, One aim through all the coming years- Our country's greatest good. RONALD SMITH '40

Dandies, when first rate, are very agreeable men. Blessed with that charm. the certainty to please Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. By sports like these are all his cares beguiled. Silence is golden. With his hair around his placid temples curled How fast has brother followed brother! For 'tis a sport to be an engineer. Doing easily what others find difficult The thorn in the cushion of the editorial chair In company a very pleasant fellow For happiness was born a twin. How long the audience sits before us! The course of true love never did run smooth. Mingle your joys sometimes with your earnest occupation. Attending, as if their lives were on his words depending Bashfulness is an ornament to youth. In silence also there's a worth that brings no risk. Lingering for a moments harmless chatter A little nonsense now and then is pleasant. She doeth little kindnesses which most leave undone. All musical people seem to be happy. He'll find a way. Festively she puts forth in trim array. He was a fiddler and consequently a rogue. Don't let your simplicity be imposed on. As merry as the day is long Variety is the spice of life. Good taste is the flower of good sense. On with the dance! My dancing days are done. How sweet and gracious, even in common speech! I could be well content to entertain my life with quiet hours. Let the far and the near all unite. with a cheer. The hair is the richest ornament of woman. The spectacles of books Maiden with the meek brown eyes Play up, play up, and play the game. And poets by their suffering grow. We have met the enemy. and they are ours. Strange to the world. he wore a bashful look. A dancing shape, an image gay, to haunt, to startle, and waylay Reproof on her lip but a smile in her eye Your heart's desires be with you. Months passed and his hair grew curlier. Work for the work's sake. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. All joking set aside Is there a heart that music cannot melt? From him shall read the perfect ways of honor. Be as merry as ever you can. Of manners gentleg of aifections mild Music is the prophets art. one of the most magnificent. But there's a good time coming. Taste the joys that spring from labor. Here is a dear and true industrious friend. A penny for your thoughts Bait the hook well: those fish will bite. For good things come in small packages. Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. And life is itself but a game of football. I'm the sweetest sound in orchestra heard.
