Sportsmanship 1s a term often used but little understood. It implies two very definite things, the first being fair play, and the second the desire to win, that which spurs one on to use every effort possible. Fair play starts, first of all, in the mental attitude of an individual toward his or her opponent. It implies that there should be no hard feelings, and that the spirit of rivalry should reign supreme. In play- ing any game, no unfair advantages must have a place, and after the final play is made, fair play must still have a part in giving credit where credit is due. Defeat must never be followed with an excuse, True sportsmanship means putting forth our best efforts at all times; having the courage to try harder after every defeat; profiting by our mistakes instead of bemoaning them; blaming our def eat upon luck; caring so greatly whether we win or lose that the thought of losing only causes that last extra effort which wrests success from the very jaws of defeat. The desire to win should be accompanied by the desire to win fairly, for there can be no glory ina dishonest victory. Defeat should only mean a greater determination for future victory, and steady work for better preparation. So let us try to keep always that spirit which envies no success 1n a rival fellowman. The glory lies, not in never losing, or failing, but in our attitude toward the game being played. —Hazel Snell, 30.

ARM TEN OUS ENS, NIN MWD IE, The staff of the Purple and White, the year book issued by the Senior Class, being one of the important literary organizations of the High School, it was felt that a distinctive insignia should be issued to the members of the staff upon the satisfactory completion of a definite program of work on the annual. Therefore, a gold emblem was adopted consisting of a hammered ““P” over a plain “W,” the two being surmounted upon a quill pen. A committee of five teachers selects six students from the Senior Class each year as nominees for editor and business manager. Nomi- nations are based on the students’ command of English, ability, initia- tive, dependability, and leadership. The editor and business manager are then selected from these nominees by popular vote of the Seniors. The editor selects the remainder of the staff with the approval of the committee. The work on the annual is done outside of class hours. IN APPRECIATION The staff of the annual wishes to express a word of appreciation for the co-operation given it in the publication of this book by the members of the Student Body of the school, the Madera business men and all those who aided in making this book a success. A special word of thanks is given to the Madera Sugar Pine Company for the use of their cuts, to Mr. L. W. Sharp for his assistance in securing infor- mation about the history of Madera, to Miss Lura Welch and Mrs. Bonita Maloy for helping to check copy, to Parks’ Studio for the group pictures and to Miss Margaret Humphreys for her interest and help.
