 03 THE GEITLE AR? OF LETTER~WRITIEG

Sometimes, I get letters from my friends; but I seldom
keep them ~ they're not worth it. You know, the writers of
good letters are few and far between, and high school students
as good correSpondents are even farther and fewer.

Most of the letters exchanged between friends of the
high school age are decidedly impersonal, uninteresting,
dispirited. They consist of "It's cold here now," "I like
my school work, do you?” "Who are you going around with?" and
other platitudes in which neither the writer nor the receiver
is the least interested.

For myself, I write a good letter. I've been told so —
and I already knew it. Most of their contents consists of
my own ideas, invective, a large amount of scandal, "blarney"

— flattery - and other fictitious elements, all of which are
vastly pleasing.

I am by nature very conservative and never quote any
scandal eXCept that which I have been assured is absolutely
authentic and more or less harmless. But a certain amount
of this is necessary in every letter to "hold the interest,"
and to "work things up to a climax." Using such phrases
makes me think of them, and allow me to introduce you to a
few sure—fire effects. First, "Between you and me,": this
is good for relatives or if you wish that news you refer to
be broadcast. The other two are largely used in women's
letters. They are: "my dear," and "they say" which introduce
reapectively flattery and falsehood.

Dean Taylor in convocation on Monday afternoon unburdened
himself of his Opinions on this subject, which for Dean Taylor
to do was a most noble thing because he is our elder by at
least several years; but I feel sure that the gentleman made
no reference to the abstinence of scandal in letters, nor do
Iiimagine he holds to rigid scruples upon this phase of gossip.
For what one intrusts to black and white is usually innocuous.

And so this article is completed, in which I have db»
greased from my friends' letters to a discussion Of the pro—
motion of scandalous gossip; which may or may net be a very
worthy thing. It depends on circumstances, like a Woman's
tears and other important marine bodies. ‘

THE PAILLAKBRS

(On seeing the picture on the cover of a recent n fiber of the
Literzry Digest.)

The nailuakers stand around their forge
Before that blistering fire,

Laking nails day by day,

And they seem not over to tire.

They stand there in that scorching heat
With arms and shoulders bare

among those sparks and Cinders,

But they do not seem to care.

With hammers and anvils true

Trey work year by year

In black and sooty gloom~

They seem to have no fear.

.,

 

 Small bars of steel they forge

Into the KIGHTY nails,

That are used thr ughout the world
From the carpits to the rails.

Professor Smith gave several humorous interpretations and
character impersonations which kept the student body in a eon~
tinual uproar. His portrayal of the difierent roles places
him in the foremost of K;ntueky humorists and the chapel was
certainly a success.

WHAT THE UKIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY
CA; MEAE TO ME
Prize«winning essay

What is the University High School Library? A little
room on the third floor of the education: building? A
few rowsef books on shelves? Yes, so it seems but even a
mere visitor if he is observing will see that that is not
all.

 

There are about four main things that this library may
mean to anyone. First, you know that any book of fiction
there is worth reading. If you will learn to read the type
of literature which is in our library you will soon form a
taste in literature which will be of value all your life.

Second, what a relief to know that you may find the
reference books which you need right in your own library
and that there is someone there who can tell you just where
to find the material you want. And these reference books
have been carefully selected too. They are the best which
may be had for a library as small as ours.

Third, it is a preparation for college and later life.
How many know how to use the file or knew what a vertical
file is until Miss Smith enlightened you? You may learn
just how much more it takes to make a library than a few
books if you will be all eyes and care while in the library.

Fourth, there is the school paper which goes hand in
hand with the library. What a stupenduous undertaking it
was and still is! And how much it is going to mean to the
school! It is going to create more school Spirit and an
interest in school activities and as you watch it grow you
may learn a great deal about the formation of a paper. What
a chance to express yourself! Don't be afraid to write and
don‘t get the idea that you can't. Just try your best and
usually you will get 8 nothing worth while.

To everyone the library ought to mean some special thing.
To me it gives the opportunity of finding out if I wish to
follow my desire to make this type of work my life work.

What can the University High School Library scan to you?
Perhaps you have not thought about it or given it a chance to
mean anything to you! But "Stop, Look and Listen" and you
will be surprised how soon you will become a part of that
little world known to us as "The University High School Library.“
