U: U: :U :U IF ET fl D: :Cl Duty Duty is a strange thing. Hardly a day passes that doesn't record some act of heroism or self- sacrificeg men smilingly lay their lives on the altar of duty. One night more than a year ago the Sub- marine S-51 went down off Block Island, with all but three of her crew on board. The efforts to raise her lasted several months. When at last the divers penetrated the sunken hull, and had worked their way through thersubmarine, they found every officer and every man of the crew at his post of duty. The wireless operator sat at his instruments, the ear-phones still on his head. Engine room, boiler room, battery room all told the same story. Lifeless hands rested on valves that it was their duty to close, or on levers that it was their duty to move. We also might think of the brave deed a young man did during the civil war. This ma.n's name was Lieutenant W. B. Cushing. Lieutenant Cushing and his fellow men who went to help him were going to undertake a. very serious task. The commander of the Beet explained to them the dangers of the undertaking. Lieutenant Cushing said, I am not afraid, I want to do something for my country of which she may be proud. One dark, foggy night Lieutenant Cushing and about ten others made their way up the harbor to des- troy the Albemarle, a large confederate ironclad. He had a steam launch with a spar torpedo. The 'Confederates discovered them and poured volley after volley into the laimch, but they kept on until they reached the ironclad. Lieutenant Cushing got the torpedo under the hull of the ship and blew it up. The recoil shot the launch back- wards, and the waves from the explosion filled the launch full of water. All of the men were either killed or drowned except Lieutenant Cushing. He was an expert swimmer so he swam back to the Federal fleet oh' the harbor. With a little steam launch and sixty pounds of powder, he had accomplished what the entire Federal fleet with its heavy guns had attempted in vain. These are only two of the many instances that happen every day, where men do their duty even though death is looking them in the face. No matter how small, every man has a duty to perform. Each man has a master named duty, Each man with his master must stay, No matter how small- 4 Just stick-that is all. And do your duty today. P. S. T., '28. Cheenngl Every year the cup is won, displayed for a few days, put on the rack with the others and promptly forgotten. All the vim and eagerness in that line is put away with the cup, not to be thought of again until the next track meet. Then it is brought forth, used for a few days until an- other cup is won, and-then again dismissed. Those voices that can ring with enough enthu- siasm at Greenfield Fair to make the judges understand how they want that cup, are quiet during all the scholastic sports except for a few excited shouts from the side lines. But .again we are improving upon old methods. This year we are going to make that cup mean more to us than just the best cheering section for one day. It is going to mean the best cheering section for the whole year. We are not going to let those splendid voices be idle at the games and sports hereafter. They are going to announce to the world that we can cheer, that what we do once we can continue to do, that all teams have the support of the school, and that we believe in them. When they are ahead we will cheer them on, when on the losing side we will cheer them on-no matter what they are playing or against what odds, we will CHEER them on to the end. Let's make that cup mean every day cheering, cheering silently perhaps-but neverthelem cheering! H. J., ,28. Honesty Variety is the spice of life, but honesty is life itself. Abraham Lincoln acquired fame not because he was brilliant or influential, but be- cause he was honest. We should profit by the knowledge of what such great men have gained. Why should we not be ready to rise as high in this age of progress and education? Every particle of knowledge gleaned from our text books should be put to some honest use or it becomes hazy. By honest labor we should con- quer the intricate facts to be found during our education, and be ready to meet the world face to face. Abraham Lincoln, by his honest dealings, such as giving back the overpay of six cents, earned for himself the name of Honest Abe. He worked honestly and became successful as a-result. By working honestly now, in not cheating our- selves into thinking we dont need to study our lessons, we are laying a firm and safe foundation for our later lives. So by this work carefully done, there should be no reason why later success should fail to come to all of us. Packard, '30, I Value of Athletics at Arms Academy I wonder how many people, both young and old, recognize the real value of athletics. There are three very important reasons why every boy or girl in high school should have some form of physical training. . First of all, exercise of the right kind is essential to build up bodily strength and fitness, something which even the most obstinate per on must admit that he admires. Our school offers various types of athletics, while the participants are few in numbers, a state of affairs which ought to be bettered if possible, and it is possible. Some 1 LL: Tl Fl lil -D?
