SPORTSMIANSHIP Spiortsmanship, good sportsman- ship, means more in life than you realize at first thought. You say, Oh, I know all about sportsmanship. In basketball and baseball I take wins and defeats alike and try my best to abide by the rules. In my school work I don't cheat. Of course these are all important, but real sportsmanship means more than simply observing the rules in sports. It means, too, following the rules of fair play in life every day. It is easy to be a good sport when everything is going your way and you are riding on the crest of the wave- that isn't the test. The person who can still show good sportsmanship in the face of adversity is the one who has what it takes. Suppose the going is a little tough -it's bound to be at times. Do you sit back and blame everyone and everything for your bad luck, brood- ing and thinking that no one else gets the tough breaks you Ido? That isn't playing the game according to rule- that surely isn't good sportsmanship. You say, But life is different from a game. Why is it? There are win- ners and losers in life as well as in baseball and football. Your life is what you make it the same as your

If you lose a game you don't go crying in a corner, Knot if you are a good sportj so Why should you when things go wrong each day 7 After your school days are over and you are out in the world working for a living, you're going to run up against all kinds of people and condi- tions. That is when good sportsman- ship can be greatly measured. You can begin preparing for that day now. A truly good sport follows all the rules: basketball, baseball football, cards, studies and above all, life. -Lucille Talbot, '50 THINKING The slogan of one of the largest cor- porations in the United States is think,'. Placards on which are Writ- ten this Word confront employees at every turn. lt's a small word, but when we stop to realize how orten we use this word in daily conversation its significance looms large: I think begins many a sentence or 'tl clon't think , bold phrases, more often than not used unthinkingly. To train children to think for themselves is the chief aim of educa- tion. Many times throughout our schooling we have been given assign- ments of problems and writings and have wondered what ever prompted our teacher to give us that. Many times We have asked questions of our parents and we have received the an- swer: t'Use your own judgment. This is all part of the game of grow- ing up and learning not to be depen- dent on someone else to do the work for us. It's the thinkers of the world that are the leaders. Today's leaders did not attain their prestige by someone else doing their work. Everyone has seen pictures of men of all nations seated around long tables arguing
