All students who participate in sports receive much enjoyment. To win may seem to be the most important object, but still greater than winning is good sportsmanship. lt is through this median that we develop a spirit of co-operation, friendship and fellowship that will be a guiding influence for the rest of our lives. 27 QQ i :anti R' sk A V., -, 1. .
