Progress, Peace, arid Friendship Although we have spent hours in study through- out our years in school, in pursuit ol that extra volume of lanowledge which marlcs the successful person, we have paid little attention to one phase ot' mental activity which is prohahly more advan- tageous to the individual and certainly more essen- tial to the maintenance of peace than any other. lt is friendship. Vvle may say that lite depends upon progress, that progress depends upon peace. and that, logi- cally, peace depends upon friendship. Yet, how many ot us attrihute to friendship the degree of importance that it deserves? Do we fully realize that jealousy, greed, intolerance, thoughtlessness - all earmarlqs of the unfriendly person-are the hasic causes ot war, are the real impediments to progress? Truthtully, our friends should he numhered not only among those persons with whom we form intimate relationships. hut also among those whose daily response and services are indispensahle to us. ll everyone realized that there is, really, no such thing as Mindependenceu that we are all greatly dependent upon each other lor happiness, the world would he minus the horrihle elllects ot war, and progress could proceed peacefully. Sadly enough, though, such a state of attairs does not exist. Nevertheless, that does not justity our thoughtlessness toward such a hasically important prohlem. There is no douht that, in the future. we shall have to learn to get along with all lcinds of people, many ol whom we may not especially lilce personally. lt we malce genuine attempts to see the other lellowls viewpoint, it we try to he fair and square, not only will we he helping ourselves, hut we will he doing our share toward achieving that long-dreamt-of universal peace. The lcey to world-wide understanding lies in a few lines from the Bihle. The twelfth verse ot the seventh chapter of the gospel according to Saint Matthew reads, Mlvherefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them: for this is the law and the prophetsf' JACK DALTON, '-iS For What Cari We Hope? XVe've had three years in Ridgewood High School, three wonderful years. Nvith the nation Finally at peace, we' laid siege to senior high school and have now successfully conquered it. To the editor-in-chief, this is franlaly a time in which to rejoice and to have regrets. It is a time to rejoice for having finished an arduous and some- times unfavorahle course of study. It is time to re- greet that we must leave our teachers, our under- graduate friends, and our school.

There are so many wrongs to right, so many evils to extinguish, so many Fine causes and Crusades to support and he- lieve in, that every person has great opportunity for service. There is no place in our confused, un- stahle world for the slaclcer or the shirlcer. The important qualities are faith, service, and ideals. Faith in the cause, service to onels fellow man, ideals to fight for. There is an urgent need for the worlcer, the heliever, the practical idealist.
