Nothing so greatly exemplifies friendship as fire, for friendship emanates that same sense of warmth and cordiality that is ever prevalent in the presence of fire. Yet. just as there are many degrees of heat, so there are various stages in the fervency of our affections. The word “friendship” itself simply means the state of being friends, but numerous shades of meaning are expressed in that word when it describes the relationship existing between those friends. That may involve profound admiration, love, respect, comradeship, or only mu- tual interests. Examples of all of these and others can be found in our own school. In our school system, parents, teachers, and students work together with that cooperative spirit which marks true friendship. The administration and faculty in working for the interest of students gain their lasting respect and admiration, while class friendships are a natural out- growth of the close associations of many years. These individual friendships are further en- couraged by athletics and other extra-curricular activities blended with one another in leaving embers that glow forever on the hearth of eternal friendship within each of us. Thus, it is the object of this book, which was written by friends, to show especially the friendship that exists in all aspects of our school life.

Many, many years ago, when fire was yet a new thing, it was the custom for young girls of Rome ancl her neighboring cities to devote a part or all ol their lives to the service of V esta. goddess of the hearth. These Vestal Virgins, as they were called, resided in a temple where a sacred fire was kept burning at all times, and it was their duty to sweep the hearth, replenish the fire with fuel and take care that the fire was never extinguished. If this was not done, all Rome would suffer the consequences in the form of some great disaster. We, too. must have the hearths of friendship within us swept clean of all opposing emo- tions. and our fires of friendship must be replenished with the fuel of pleasant recollections and new acquaintances. For these reasons, just as the Vestal Virgins of long ago dedicated them- selves to fire, we dedicate this book to friendship and to the keeping of friendship s fires within us. It is hoped that, in its making, new friends were formed, and that later in its reading old ones will fondly be remembered and perhaps even renewed. lat 53 as there beh 1 inly nlU’ A T pefati ink 1 irai out' her leaving is tl exists
