Although Bement came out with the short end of the scoring, the team did exceptionally well, since it is the first one Bement High has had for several seasons, and all the players were new men, practically ignorant of the game. The team was poorly supported at the first of the season, but the interest and enthusiasm shown at the end was unusually good. There are some fast teams on the schedule for next season, but with many of last season’s stars back, and with the proper support, our team should put up a good fight for the State Championship.

appear during this generation or the coming one—but it is a sure one. The children of today should be taught to use wealth. A boy who is to spend the best years of his life in making money should be taught that commercialism is a curse only when it leads to dishonesty, and despicable when it leads to selfishness, vulgarity and arrogance. Wealth is a great power for good. Churches, universities, libraries, medical institutes, hospitals, pension funds, ministries to the needy and unfortunate are not evils —neither are museums, art galleries and the numerous other things which make life more than a commonplace existence. It is the duty of American parents “to see that the rich men of the future use wealth unselfishly—not as purveyors of charity, but as partners with society. “For what shall it profit a man, if—in the mad rush for gold—he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” When the last exam has been written and the pen’s are rusted and dried; When the youngest teacher has faded and the cross’t principal’s died, We shall rest, and faith we shall need it, lie down for an hour or so Till the toils of life and the tho’t of strife make us get up and go. And those that are good shall be happy; they shall sit in a new back seat; They shall make all the noise they want to, and never have to lift their feet; They shall have real saints to draw from; Daniel and Orville and Paul; They shall whisper all they want to, and never get called at all. Only fond mothers shall praise them; on others they’ll lay the blame. And no one shall work for good grades, and no one shall work for fame. Hut each for the joy of pleasure, and each in his chosen seat. Shall enjoy life as he sees it—a life that is long and sweet. IRcet Roy McKinney. (With apologies to Kipling.)
