ATHLETICS

Page 50 text:

WORTH WHILE It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is one who will smile, When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through tears. By the cynic, the sad, the fallen, Who had no strength for the strife, The world's highway is cumbered to-dayg They make up the sum of life. But the virtue that conquers passion, And the sorrow that hides in a smile, It is these that are worth the homage on earth For we find them but once in a while. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox

A T H L E T I 1C RS THE CARJDINAL DOWN WITH THE GIRLS Of all the girls, you'll never find one, That's quite as true as a boy, by gum. They think they're cute, Yeah! Clever too, But you do your best and they make fun of you. Whenever you're ahead, or the best on the team, You can get all the girls the way it seems. But when your behind or not a ratin,'r' There's ne'er a one that can be seen a waitin'. And when you've got money, it's a terrible sin, The Way they beg of you till they win. They practically date you and all that stuff, But when you've no money, they're one big bluff. Fellows, say what you want to about your gal, But in contrast with boys, it's like Heaven and he- One minute they argue, the next they fight, The way they nag you it's a terrible fright. You can't trust a one as to what she'll say, When your back is turned or when your away. Yeah! Down with the girls and all their kind, There's not a one with you when your behind. --Charles Muehling
