VVxlliams. Paul Luce, H. D. B l Howard Edwards P. H. S. is proud of her Boys' Basketball team because it is a real team in every play. We can- not always judge entirely by the score, but we do claim that we have boys who are good sports. Now we do not mean to imply that our boys have been defeated everytime-far from itg for they have shown more than once what they can really do. But the thing We are proudest of is their spirit Never Grumble and Play Clean are the two rules they follow. Keep it up boys. 26

' Girls' Basketball was started at Perry High by Mr. Fike in 1917 and he has beenour coach since that time. In the three years We have had'it, it has d-one much for our school. From the first it was ern- phasized that personality was to be left out of this work-th+at the best team player got on the team r-egardless of personal popularity. This soon came to be understood by all. It has done away with some undersirable rival- ries in schoolg it has led the girls away from cliques, making them more for Perry High and less for selfg it has brought out good qualities which the girls pos- sessed and has helped to suppress undesrable ones, for the athletic floor shorvvs quicker than any other part of school work what a girl really is, it has giv- en them .self possessiong it has made the girls fairer, squarer, broader, less disposed to think of self, more careful to think before they criticise others, and all around better sports.
