It might very well be Friends. Wide friendships enrich character. Form a few selected friends among people wiser than you. In youth we have friends among older people; in later years, young friends. Youth has need of age and age has need of youth. Choose your friends with care. Prefer people for what they are, not what they have. One tends to become like his friends and to be judged by them. Avoid attaching to yourself as friends, persons who are intemper- ate, avaricious, extravagant, or ungrateful. Our friends are a part of our larger selves. We identi- fy ourselves with their happiness and seek to be worthy of their friendship. These higher loyalties make life significant. They ennoble life and fur- nish comfort and happy memories for our later years. In the years ahead I trust that you will always remember that happiness is an achievement, not an accident, and that the greatest ideal of all the ages — the brotherhood of man — is based on friendship. Sincerely, 1. 1£

ARLENE ROLOFF, BARBARA PAFFORD, ARDEL KREY, BERNICE MOYES, MARY EMERY Office Girls . . . It is a familiar sound to all R.H.S. students when they hear, “May I have your attention?” over the pub- lic address system. It is either Ber- nice Moyes or Arlene Roloff. Ber- nice is Mr. Normington’s secretary; she takes care of the high school business so it runs smoothly. Arlene is usually taking care of everyday matters such as typing up reports, and doing daily duties in the office. Bernice and Arlene greet the stu- dents in the morning and through- out the day with a friendly smile when you get your make-up cards or passes. If someone calls for you or would like a report about you, they have a very orderly system so you, or the report, can be found immediately. Bernice and Arlene help to make up a part of the friendly and helpful atmosphere of Reedsburg High School.
