With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there, And you, O you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return,- Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of hereg Think of him still as the same, I say: He is not dead-he is just away! ...James Whitcomb Riley Michael Tuminella I William Glasgow Alcorn

Ae FRIENDSH FRIENDSH I FRIENDSH Bertha and Wilto'n wonder what the results of this ex- periment will be. Awe med 0 den IP OF THE CLASSROOM The friendships created during our high school days are part of that destiny which shaped our lives. As we worked over a chemistry experiment, prepared a town hall discussion or struggled over a translation, together, many sides of our classmates were revealed and perhaps a lasting friendship resulted. Our teachers, as they led us on to discover new experiences were aiding us in be- coming friends with them and perhaps later we will look on their influence as a potent force in our development. IP OF THE CLUBS By working together in clubs and organizations through- out the school, we have learned to admire the talents and abilities of other and have seen many worthwhile friendships established. Finding boys or girls whose in- terests were similar to our own stimulated us in our par- ticular activity. High moral standards qualities oi leadership, journalistic training and ability to create are some of the aims and purposes of our organizations. Association with people well trained in some particular field of endeavor may prove to become a lasting friendship. IP IN SPORTS It has been shown that athletics have played a par- ticular part in the formation of friendships. As other teams were encountered on the gridiron, basketball court, or track field we learned to admire the prowess oi others. Each individual on the team realized the importance of friendliness if his team worked together harmoniously and as a unit. Team play, cooperation and good sports- manship were stressed by all the athletic leaders and every participant realized the importance of these qualities if the best results were to be attained. Learn to play has been our motto.
