friends. Emerson has said, "The only reward of virtue is vir-
tue; the only way to have a friend is to be one. The true es-
sence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust."
One of the teachers of this college has given a very good de-
finition of a friend as, "One who makes a smile come a little
oftener and stay a little longer."

Youth Always
Throughout the centuries some of the noblest undertakings
have been led by young men or boys in their teens.
In every crisis that threatens our country it is youth of the
Nation that is ever ready to be sacrificed. It is the spirit of
youth that carries the world forward.
The Junior class is composed mostly of freshmen in Tarleton.
They are the youth of the institution. They are the.ones who
make the class aggressive^ They are the ones who,-foster the
advancement of all good things.' They are the ones, who like
the student immersed in economics, civics and history is easily
influenced toward progressive action. The mature man must
weigh and consider one thing against another, soberly viewing
the future. Not so with the youth. Is it right, he asks ? Then
do it or die. So let it be with the Juniors.
Friendship
Have you ever thought what a dreary world this would be if
you had no friends? On the other hand, have you ever realized
what a happy world your friends create for you?
Out of your numerous acquaintances there are only a few
persons who you can really call your friends. Of course many
of them many pretend to be friends who, if a time of trouble or
disappointment comes would probably forget that you were ever
acquainted.
It is indeed a satisfying thought to know you have someone
with whom to confide all your joys and sorrows; someone who
is capable and willing to give you friendly counsel when it be-
comes necessary. Bacon said in his essay, "Of Friendship,"
"A principal fruit of friendship is the ease and discharge of the
fullness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds
do cause and induce."
There is nothing in this material world as valuable as friend-
ship. This is realized more easily by those who have few
SHORT TALKS BY FACULTY
MEMBERS
Students who attend iTarleton
may be grouped several ways after
leaving the institution. There are
those who graduate but never at-
tend another school; there are
those who do not graduate and who
do not go on to an institution of
higher learning. Then there are
thest same two groups—those who
graduate and those who do not—■
whose college education is complet-
ed elsewhere.
The students in the different
groups all have a different feeling
toward Tarleton. It is correct to
suppose that the pupil who leaves
here with his diploma and who goes
to work is the one apt to be most
loyal to his alma mater. He has
been here long enough to be em-
bodied with that undefinable thing
called school spirit. He has learn-
ed the ideals of the school and it is
here that he learns to accomplish
somtthing without mother and dad
by his side. For the student who
does not graduate, if such be due to
lack of time spent here, the same
may be true but in lesser degret.
It is the students who leave here
and go to other colleges who are
most often criticized for lack of
support toward those things which
go to make a bigger and better
,Tarleton. Often the school of their
second choice becomes to them as a
senior college what Tarleton has
been as a junior college. Their
rntertsts are divided. Not only do
they want Tarleton's basketball
team to win, but they want that
senior college team to win.
Herein lies a situation that must
exist if a student gets all that it is
possible to get from his school
clays. Ex-students, who come here
to work after securing degrees, owe
loyalty to Tarleton as former pu-
pils, as present workers, and they
owe much to their senior college.
It is only natural to suppose that
they do not do as much for this
school, as ex-students, as those who
have been here all the time.

Sunshine and Shadows'
As one stands alone on a knoll
and gazes out over the sunkissed
world, he often wonders why God
has been so good to us. He silently
watches the shadows gradually
lengthen and the sun travel toward
the Western horizon, slowly but
surely. The sunbeams seem to play
mtrrily along the leaves of the
trees nearby. They seem to cling
to their play like a child who is
called to bed before his play hour
