HEEDING Physical well-being is an important ally of good mental health. Therefore, physical education has been given to us in an institu¬ tion whose primary purpose is to train the mind. Besides learn¬ ing the necessary rules for good health, many of us have found interest in sports in which we may profitably engage our leisure. We have acquired the ability to accept victory and defeat with equal grace, that trait of character which is essential to a good life. During the whole of our lives we shall find success more im¬ portant and failure less ignoble if we have learned to value good sportsmanship.

n e it o i . n n t n e a u r i It is unlikely that many of us will attain immortality in the world of art or even win recognition for our creative attempts among our contemporaries few of us will continue art work when we have finished our study at schoo I. Yet, we have all come closer to art. We h ave come to feel a deeper respect for painting and sculpture as we have realized from our own trials how much knowledge, time, an d effort go into the simplest work. Then, we have ex¬ perienced the joy and the struggle of creation—that birth of the mental image before brush is put to canvas. Above all, we have wakened to beauty, not only in art but in all the life about us.

classes start with fellow frosh, The youngster of our tribe, Who gives his heart to dear old Scott And takes a lot of gibe. We know that he is growing up, Th is adolescent dreamer, And yet his toyboat seems to him A stately river steamer. His high school years will help him To see intrinsic features. But now, ambitious and sincere, He is the pet of teachers.
