THE ART OF BEING GRACIOUS Every one of us would like to be a gracious per- son. This attribute is the passport to most things that we yearn for--admiration, respect, love, and happiness. It is a mistake to think that one is born with it. It is an acquired trait, as readily acquired as good manners which constitute a very important part of it. Being gracious is an art, but unlike most arts one need not have a special talent for it. Only the desire to be gracious--plus thoughtfulness and practice--are required. It is a matter of treating others as you would be treated--not because it is the diplomatic thing to do--but because you want to treat them that way. The art of being gracious is developed by doing kind things until such be- havior becomes characteristic of you.

Each year the Board of Education has before it a difficult task--that of handling the end- less duties which enable our school to run smoothly. The Board, comprised of local businessmen and farmers, has done an excellent job in managing the major problems of the school. To them we wish to express our gratitude for the time which they have spent to help further our education. l ,. 5.--, -.Q ,-'-E -..' E. W. HAUSSER University A. B.g B.

It starts as a small acquain- tance, and experience by experience develops into a beautiful, life giving achievement. lt is very strongly intertwined with our feelings and drives, and any experience which tends to weaken it leaves a personality marring scar of emotionalism. To build a worthy friendship requires the full co- operation ofboth parties, as well as a goodly group of v ita,l experiences. May your life be built on friendships, carefully and firmly founded, so that you will escape the emotionalisms of distrust and disillusion and find that peace and happiness which only a well spent life can give. 8
