LADY SAINTS WIN HONORS EVERY SPORT SHOWS THE B.D. WINNING SPIRIT Athletics are always thought of as showing who is faster, stronger, or has a better reflex. But there is more to it than that. There behind the winning or losing is dedication and attitude. It is true that many athletes who are dedicated win, but there are also those who spend hours on end practic- ing that don ' t have much to show for it. The newspapers don ' t usually tell about the true winners — those that are truly the good sports- people. It is harder to try hard and lose than try hard and win, and the really dedi- cated people always stick with it. There is also the attitude behind the games. Anyone involved with sports can tell you that a graceful winner is as hard to be as a good los- er. It is easy to say, Be a good loser, but try to shake hands with the winner after just missing winning and you will appreciate those that can win well all the more. At Dwenger all the girl athletes are good losers when they have to be. Luckily they don ' t have too much op- portunity to practice. No one can say we have poor losers at Dwenger and that is one of the best compli- ments someone can give. And they ' re off.
