In the Laketon High School Junior
and Senior English course, the essay
has been taken as a subject for sev-
eral days. We have had reports on
several well-known essays. This is
a nationally known essay, written by
Ralph Waldo Emerson, entitled,
“Friendship.”
The theme of this essay, “Friend-
ship,” is the giving of the best that
a man has in himself and the dis-
covery of the best in another who
responds to him.
Friendship exhilarates and makes
life worth living. With affection our
intellectual and active powers are
increased. |

This week the Junior High School
roup moved into the new building
nd most of the other grades occupied
different quarters than during the
rst part of the term. Two of the
‘ooms in the old building are equipped
th new, seats.
The new building is as nearly fire-
roof as reasonably possible. Foun-
ation walls are of concrete, 16 inches
thick, reinforced with steel rods. At
all points where steel framing rests
,wall is built out to strengthen it,
and all piers are of reinforced con-
rete. Steel uprights are anchored
o the foundation with large steel
ts which were set in the cement
hile the walls were being poured,
nd under each upright there is a
‘steel plate to prevent the beams
wearing into the cement. ~The walls
of the front portion of the building
are of brick and cinder tile, but on the
ar part the brick was replaced by
additional four inches of tile to
ve the cost of the brick. All floors
the main part of the building are
f concrete laid over steel joists and
artitions are also of masonry. The
chool room floors are covered with
linoleum. The roof consists of steel
rafters, and steel deck, with a built-
p composition top. The same con-
struction is used in the auditorium-
ymnasium excepting that the floor is
f wood.
The plan of the building, when com-
leted to a nearly square shape, in-
udes four units: the auditorium-
gymnasium; ;a front unit of six
choolrooms with halls, stairs, and
oilets; and two side units each in-
luding four or more classrooms,
halls, and such special rooms as may
e desired. At the present time the
0 side units have not been built as
hey will not be needed for several
ars. The whole building is over
virty feet high, two stories, but in
the auditorium-gymnasium the entire
eight is in one room providing a
lear ceiling height of about twenty-
feet exclusive of girders and
~The three upstairs class-
ms in the front unit are not com-

present required, but only a small
amount of work and expense is neces- |
ry to make them ready for occu- |
ney.

Friendship is often disappointing,
but fancy inhances the accomplish-
ment of the friend, and ignores the
failures. Friendship, like the im-
mortality of the soul, is too good to be
believed and in friendship suspicion
and unbelief surprise us, and our
friendships are brief because they are
made of fancies and dreams and not
like glass threads or frost work, but
the solidest thing we know.
There are two elements that go to
the composition of friendship. One
is truth. With a friend one may be
sincere, and before him you may
think aloud, because he is real, equal
and may be considered as a second
self. A friend is a sane man who
inspires you and gives entertainment
without any stipulation on your part.
The second element of friendship is
tenderness. We are bound to men
by every sort of tie, and because of
their kinship and love, we give ten-
derness and sympathy for those to
whom we are devoted. Friendship
does not mean modish and worldly
alliances, but knowing those whom we
can aid and comfort for all times, and
travel with that friend through se-
rene days, rough roads, hard fare,
ship wreck, poverty and persucution.
You can have very interesting con-
versations with several men, but in
this instance the conversation cannot
be sincere and searching, as it can
between two people. This social min-
gling destroys the freedom of great
conversation, which requires the uni-
son of two souls (conversation is de-
pendent upon both parties).
