' 't' x K' ' I sc iv., 'u 'Go Our Sponsors More than fame and more than money Is 'the comment, kind and sunnyg The hearty, warm approval of a friend.

Friendship is a bond between men that is founded on earthy it believes in the best of the ones that it loves. So, with our sponsors-Miss Janie Chiles and Mrs. Sehrt Jones, who have helped us so willingly, who have given us encouragement and whispered kind words of counsel and of cheer when everything seemed to go dead wrongg and who have set splendid examples before us which will doubtless never be forgotten, many fine and beautiful friendships have been formed between them and 'the members of the Senior class. We rarely ever appreciate our sponsors until we come to really and truly know them, to find that they are different than we thought them yesterday, to under- stand them thoroughly, for with understa.nd.ing prejudices always disappear. With the disappearance of these prejudices friends can work together with heads, hearts, and hands joined, working toward one definite aim. Our interests have always been the interests of Miss Chiles and Mrs. Jones throughout our Senior year, and they have given so unstintedly of their valuable time and noble efforts, mat it behooves us, the nremibers of the Senior class of '21, to express to them our most heartfelt appreciation for the admirable attitude which .they have taken towards us and our work. And Oh! because of this kindly attitude we shall, with all our strength. trv to keep this friendship alive and to be worthy of them, for we shall always mink of them as 'idear old palsff
