THE EAAGLE 1935 Many passages of the classics make mention of some phase of the development of archery, music, drama, literature, fire arms, or dancing. How much more those who understand the history of those subjects get from the passage than we who are not in- formed about them. Our modern usage of words would be utterly out of place and confuse the meaning in Shakepeare's plays. Take the word cousin, for instance. We use it to express close relationship, at that time they used it to mean friend, comrade, and to infer respect, or admiration. We ought to have a large vocabulary so that we will not miss the point of a passage simply because it hinges on the meaning of a word which we do not under- stand. We think it is much more enjoyable to have the satisfaction of understanding each word, phrase, and sentence in the book, than to have a hazy general idea. We can safely say that the more one knows about the book before he reads it, the more he gets out of the book. OBSERVATION PLUS NEWSPAPER READING EQUALS UNDERSTANDING X R. R., ,35 HERE are many strange twists to public opinion. Often some mistaken idea grips the public fancy until it becomes almost a proverb. To understand life, we need only observe the people about us and read the daily newspapers. Oh yeah? There are several holes in this abstract doughnut. First of all, in that clause, observe the people about usf' we would challenge the word observe. If we merely notice the physical beauty or plainness of people, their clothes, the way they walk, and in general their external characteristics, how can we know what people are like? The ugliest face may hide the most beautiful kindness of heart, and on the other hand, everyone knows that beauty is as beauty doesf' An old saying illustrates the necessity of looking beyond oneis appearance, Clothes do not make the man. One must be tolerant and wide-awake to understand people, and like anything else, constant practice and application are necessary to develop this genius for understanding people, and through them, Life. Another fallacy in this accepted theory is that we cannot find representatives of all types of people merely in our own surroundings. Everyone knows how many diHerent kinds of people one sees on city streets, at fairs, and at the theater. But it would be impossible to get acquainted with all these people and one must know a person very well before he can even begin to understand him, and even if we could know all these people, there would still be thousands more in the world, of types absolutely unknown to us unless-yes, there is a solution in part. Books are a guide to the understanding of human nature. The most interesting literature has been written by those who have really lived, not merely existed. No doubt people say 'Cwe remember saying it ourselvesj that people in books are not real people. They are not, in many cases. Admitted that in the usual magazine story one finds many characters who have thrilling adventures, still everyone recognizes them as arti- ficial and not convincing. But the great master of literature, Shakespeare, and modern writers such as Galsworthy and Barrie we find charming because the characters in their books are real people, whose emotions and reactions to emotions we can understand, or if we did not understand them before, we can learn about them now, and this will help us in our understanding of Life. Even if we never meet people like this, we know that they exist, and this broadens our tolerance and sympathy so much more. 7

When one wants to find Barb all he has to do is to follow that hearty ebuekle to its source. Her artistic ability has been our delight and has helped us often. Everything she undertakes is done in her own con- scientious manner. Her hobby is collecting pictures and items con- cerning the most interesting subjects. LOUIS JOSEPH CHORZENIPA Deeds, not words. Classical Course: Athletie Council 45 Cross Country 15 Football 3, 45 Manager, Ice Hockey 45 Track 35 Eagle Board. Louis is the embodiment of silence. But the twinkle in his eye and his clipped accent show the combination of a keen sense of humor and brisk efliciency that is present in his nature. He may be quiet most of the time but when he speaks, he usually has something to say. In the Circle of his intimate friends, he is called Kitchie.

Red is the personifieation of good nature, with his ready laugh and jokes. He has never been known to hurry but somehow he always seems to get there. Who could be so exasperating when he is teasing, and yet so amusing? 9
