The TOWER K - - -- ' » THE PRESIDENT ' S WISH f T O man s to be envied whose success in life has been attained at the expense •1 of sincere and honest friendships. No matter what his wealth or station that • man who can forget the friendships of youth has in him elements of selfish- ness, conceit, and false pride which must forever hold him stranger to genuine happiness. In such cases his temperament forbids the affection and intimacy of pals. It becomes particularly hard for him to make new friends who will be genuine and permanent. Success in life is always applauded. But purchased at the expense of love and af- fection, it comes too high. Without friendships life becomes dull and uninteresting. In late years new friends arc hard to make. Such friends arc lost as easily as they arc found. A very sensible wish at this time when separations arc natural and necessary is that the school-day friendship— the friendship of youth — may for the class of 1928 continue for a half century to hold in pleasant memory the associations of these four years and that there may be frequent meetings when the play spirit may prevail and buoyancy of youth assert itself in varied expression of happiness and joy. May the friendships of youth maintain. J ISR -N.
