If they do not know these things there wiil be many blockades for them. Nothing in this list is impossible. They should know how to make out every kind of check. How to deposit money in a bank. How to write out a promissory note. How to keep a simple set of daybook and ledger. How to write a simple receipt. How to speak and write good English. How to use the dictionary. How to spell all words correctly. How to speak to all people politely. How to care for their health. How the chief officials are elected and the duties of each. How to use simple tools. How to get a meal. How to conduct themselves properly at table. How to play indoor and outdoor games. How to tell the truth without fear. How to be honest in business. How to be fair in all dealings. They should have a great knowledge of their geography. They should know the Constitution of the United States. They should be able to buy clothing with an idea to fitness and economy. They should begin to plan for the future. Boys and girls who have learned these things well will have success in the world even if they are forced to leave school before their educa- tion will have been completed.—’36. O FRIENDS Friends are necessary in our lives. They add pieasure, joy and brightness to our lives. Fortunate is the one who is blessed with true friends who will “stick” to him when things go wrong and joy in praising his accomplish- ments and success. Friendship has come to us through our ancestors, and it has been passed on for ages, cherished for ages and still is cherished. Friends cannot be bought, they must be won. We can win them by our sunny dispositions toward them, our kind deeds and our good character. If we have been good friends during our school days we shall have precious memories to recall, when we leave school, something more precious even than our diplomas. Will you have friendships that have been sealed with co-operative effort? You will—if you yourself have been a friend.—’37. LITERATURE We all enjoy ourselves, do we not? Well, at least most of us do and usually in a general manner—these enjoyments resemble one an- other. These enjoyments, or pastimes, fre- quently are directly from books and magazines. Darling youngsters just learning to read love to show their little knowledge from the baby grade by reading a few lines from their little primers valued as much by them as High School students should value their Shakespeare. They give little quotations from “The Little Red Hen’’, we should give selections from “As You Like It’ or Poe’s “Fall of the House of Usher”. In “Alice in Wonderland” the child of eight learns to love her clean, joyous life. At twelve the girl copies “Jo” from “Little Women’’, an Alcott production. Jo’s full-of-fun, mischiev- ous, still honest character inspires the girl. And the young lady envies Rosalind and her lover meeting in the end through lasting love, and sincerity. Now, my dear, do you see the important part literature and nursery rhymes play in forming the people of this our modern world? Will you not agree that if you cannot aspire to the same seat of honor as our great authors that you will help, and that it is your duty to forward honest literary leaders? By doing so you must simply set them an example, for h ow do we know but that you shall be a character to be mimicked. Shakespeare says the world is a theater and we are the actors; our lives are formed from lives on other stages formed from literature.—’35. See WORTH REMEMBERING You and adversity may be partners, sharers of sorrowful hours and the dividends of hope may be long in coming; but that is no reason why despair should be chosen as the third part- ner of the firm. Link up with God! Join hands with the eternal winner of victories. Melan- choly never enters the soul with a good motive. God is the Author of sunshine, the Purveyor of peace on earth, the Song-writer of the worid, from the singing of the morning stars down to the late bird-twitter in the trees this morning. Love is the fulfilling of the law. When happi- ness is at the organ eternal love directs the orchestra. God smiles on the man who loves his wife. He loves the man who acts as a true father to his children. The soul in man is the generator of his life atmosphere. Get a little heaven in you as much as you can hold. Don’t mope. Have something better than a scowl] for mankind. God gives us all an atmosphere of sympathy, clemency, compassion. The soul that is out of harmony is out of proportion. God has a world full of suns and stars; but He per- mits no black orb in all His great universe. 0 He will easily be content and at peace whose conscience is pure.

The pleasure of looking into the future is mingled with pain. We love to know what lies before us, but when we find out we tremble for we are afraid that we will be unable to carry out those things as we should. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of select- ing a few remembrances that will help you in the future. I hope that they will help you per- form your duties of life. I sincerely hope that you will accept them in the spirit in which they are given. Please keep them as a keepsake and remembrance of your Senior year. As I call your names please come forward to receive these trifling tokens of my interest in your future. Le Roy Beber: My dear classmate, all signs indicate that you will be a Latin teacher. Judging from the work you have done during your Latin course I know you will prove a won- derful help to the students. I leave you my Latin book. Albert Lemish: out work. We usually have to live and earn all that we get in this world. I see you as a farmer working hard. I am giving you this cushion to make your many rest hours as com- fortable as possible in memory of the class of 1934. Kate Hyde: Here is a little postage stamp I give you with this advice—always follow its example and stick tightly to one thing until you get to the place for which you set out. This is one sure rule of success. Agnes Shivell: Fearing you may get as lonesome in your spare hours as you always seem to get in school hours, I am giving you this class picture to keep in memory of your life at school with us. Esther Muzzillo: You are always so busy that I see very little that you can need to help you along the way. I give you, then, this sack of candy, that the days of your business college course may be sweetened with the memory of your life with us at school. And now, classmates, I trust that these little gifts will prove helpful to you. It is not easy to live with- SPSS SSSSSHSSHSSSCHSSCSCSCSCSHSSSESCSSESCOSCSCECSCHSCOCSHOCSCSSCSOCSCSSOC EHH SSS ®

SPeeresersereesee THE HAPPIEST TIME Young men and women are all the time be- ing told that the present is the happiest time of their lives, and that is not particularly pleas- ant news to those just starting out. Most of them are aware of the hardships of their lot. An examination that must be passed in a month may be as much of a bugbear as a note that must be met in thirty days. The people that tell you that the present is the happiest time of your life are not quite fair. They may have been happier in their youth than they are now, but there are others who find each year better than the last. Do not belittle the good experience of the present. Form the habit of being happy, for that will be a great help. Do not believe, how- ever, that you are happier now than you ever will be again. Thousands find the path of life one that grows brighter all the way—N. N. 1) LIVING AND THINKING It is more difficult to live on the level than it is to think on the level. In your mind you may have a pack of splendid ideas. You may admire fine actions, and abhor the other sort. But when it comes to putting these thoughts into practice that is something else. But it is better to think good and do bad than it is to think bad and do bad also. We’re not altogether sure it isn’t bet- ter than it is to think bad and do good. That marks either a coward or a hypocrite. But if you really think right a lot of your thinking is bound to crop out in your actions. Keep the old brain on the decent track and it’s apt to pull the rest of you along with it. MAKING ACQUAINTANCES Make no useless acquaintances. On first acquaintance, be natural, for any artificial or “put on” stuff cannot hold out that same pro- portion very long. It makes one smile to see or hear people, when they first meet, trying so desperately hard to make the impression that they are so nice, so sweet, so amiable. They never hold out. The practice of saluting people in a friendly but dignified manner leaves all about you be- lieving in you. One can be sincerely considerate, honestly polite, dignifiedly friendly with a new acquaint- ance without being over-nice all at once. The gushing greeter, the palpitating polite person gives proof that his or her manners are only a surface showing—just skin deep. Just be yourself in the beginning of an ac- quaintance, then there will be no disappoint- ments as you continue that acquaintance.— 34. sitll ak dele Ly eee Put these five things on your five finger tips; to see, to think, to love, to believe, to work. These are the things that give you a grip on life. seer ooo eo Page 9 HOME TOWN LOYALTY Why not be fair to your own community? Do your buying with the merchant who is your neighbor and friend, who, when you need it, will give you accommodations you could not get away from home, who helps to keep our community going and growing by paying taxes and licenses here, paying store rent here, paying wages to employees here, buying his own household sup- plies here. The home business man is a big factor in the growth and development of the city. When it is necessary to raise funds for church or charity he is the first to give, and he gives liberally. The question is largely one of loyalty and of good business practice. It is not loyalty to a community to buy goods in other places that could be bought as cheaply and as well at home, and it is poor business policy to pay merchants in other cities more for goods than home merchants charge for them. 0 INFALLIBILITY Others are fallible, as you are. All make mistakes. Go and make them as others do; then correct them, forget them, and act again and yet again. Remember that the greatest and most successful careers of the world are nothing but a tissue of mistakes corrected and forgotten. ARE YOU A GENTLEMAN? A wise man once defined a gentleman as one who— Never inflicts pain. Makes everyone at ease and at home in his presence. Doesn’t bring up topics that might cause ir- ritation to another. Makes light of favors while he does them. Never gossips or slanders. Never takes unfair advantage of another. Is never mean in disputes, but always fair and generous. Never gives out sharp sayings for argument. Bears no malice. Is kind to another intellect inferior to his own. Always just. Respects weakness in human nature, and makes the proper allowance for it. Measured by this rule of manly conduct, are you a gentleman ?—’34. —0O TIME Time is the one thing that can never be re- trieved. One may lose and regain a friend; one may lose and regain money; opportunity once spurned may come again; but the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits. Most careers are made or marred in the hours after supper. —o Religion that controls one’s heart and hand can easily convince another’s head. . 2 ©-¢ © © 6 © 8 © oo SoS SSF FSS SS SFSFFHSSSFO FHSS SHSHSHSOHSSOEOHSCOOSOHSOOHOSEH OSHS COOH O SCS 2 e © @ @ 2 eee eee eee eee eeeeee Coe eecoCeCoCo CCC Ce CCC Coe eo eee eee
