.,, U' E1 LASR' 'YNY 57104151 Whenever one sees in the papers a headline telling that Wau- kesha has won another football game or has another winning track team, the things that are high school are vividly brought back to mind. The sports program is not only important for winning championships and games, but also for building bodies, and helping every fellow learn the meaning of teamwork. Every athlete will remember the strong friendships that were made on the gridiron or the basketball floor, not only with his team- mates but with his opponents. The feeling of victory is known only to the one who has worked hard and has put in much time, striving for perfection. The athlete knows this feeling and knows that it has come as a. result of his training. He must also have, or develop, the ability of accepting defeat honorably and gra- ciously. These lessons are valuable, not only on the athletic field, butalso through life and they will shine as a beacon .clear and strong. , Re., X, N-R, -- SHAN- Vv',,- , e.0'f ' c 0 N xx s.
