8 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD ' Editorials • HONESTY IS TIIE BEST POLICY. Honesty is a very valuable asset. A person who is honest is always admired, and gains many friends because in selecting friends, a person always wants honest people. The road we travel along in life may be full of hardships and sorrows, but if we are fair and honest with ourselves as well as with others, I think that everything will come out well. People who are honest never have a troubled conscience, and can go along their way free from the fear of being found guilty of anything. They can look people straight in the face and still be at ease, for they know that they are doing right by themselves and others. Honesty always has been and always will be the best policy, for a person who cheats is almost always found out and gains nothing, while the honest person almost always gets some reward. Katherine Kane, ’31. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Why do business men advertise in papers or magazines ? Certainly, it must be because they expect to have people see them, read them, and then patronize the dealers. Advertisements are not put into the paper just to fill the paper up or to make the magazine look well. They are put there to serve a purpose. Every business man who wishes to boost his business takes pains with his advertisements, noting every detail and carefully specializing articles that are sure to catch the eye. If, then, there is so much thought and work behind these adver¬ tisements, shouldn’t they be carefully looked over and patronized? Carmen Ferrara, ’31. FRIENDSHIP. There are very few people who know the real meaning of Friendship. That is perhaps why they treat it so lightly, unaware of the fact tha without it man would be a worthless, helpless object, unfit to live in a world where Friendship is a sacred trust, sent from God to make living joyful.

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 9 Friendship depends upon three things: faith, loyalty, and respect. If any one of these is missing, then Friendship is incomplete for one is supple¬ mentary to the others. Friends should never be hurt at criticism but should have faith enough to understand that it is for their own good. They should be slow to anger, quick to forgive, for Friendship is too big and fine to bear resentment. Friends once, friends forever, for the light of Friendship cannot be extinguished by mere jealousy or a careless word or deed. As it takes years to kindle this flame, it cannot be smothered by the momentary pangs of an injury. It is by such experiences that Friendship is tried, and real Friendship becomes more precious and splendid by the test. Friends are proved by adversity, and how fine it is in a time of need to know that there is a friend to whom you can pour out the anguish of your heart, knowing that he is sure to understand and ready to sym¬ pathize and console you. Far better than wealth, power, or glory is Friend¬ ship which is lasting and which will endure when wealth, power, and glory have diminished into nothingness. Mary Wheeler, ’31.
