£6itoriat C o-operation is the basis of success, for without it nothing great or important is accomplished. Co-operation is essential even with individuals, for if the hands and feet did not co-operate little could be done in carrying out the idea that is in the brain. In the case of Edison, for example, though all his ideas originated in the brain they had to be carried out in a visible, physical substance. Without the skillful co-operation of the hands none of his inventions would have been developed. Where more than one person is concerned, co-operation is again necessary. With two men working together on a problem, the need of co-operation is more evident; as there are two brains exercising their power, there must be co-opera¬ tion of the hands and bodies of the two men to bring success. It is even more essential in this case than it is in the first. As the number of people interested increases, the need of co-operation becomes greater. Where a community starts developing some of its natural resources or beautifying its environment, co-operation is particularly needed. Unless the community pulls together as one, the attempt is a failure. We have seen this illustrated many times in towns, homes and schools. Without it a community is a failure and the town dies. In the case of the home the family is broken up; in the schools, the future of all the pupils is endangered and may result in disaster because of the fact that some have lost the opportunity to secure proper training. Co-operation would have meant success. Without it, in the business world, all of the present-day conveniences — our food, our transportation, our protection, our health, would all be jeopardized. In fact, life itself would be impossible. Co-operation is the essence of life and of the pursuit of happiness. Cloverdale recently experienced a case in point. On May first there was held a May Day pageant. For some years the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce has held a fete on that day with more or less success. This year the schools joined with the men in a celebration. Some of the outlying districts also par¬ ticipated. With everyone interested and anxious to co-operate, a most success¬ ful pageant was held. It was an example of complete co-operation — and being so, will long be remembered as a happy community success.

! oys’ Atfytetics A thletics had gradually died out until about four years ago. The lack of boys and the absence of a place to play were the reasons for this. But when the new school house was built with a modern gym athletics started with a bang! At first the boys were not very skillful due to lack of experience but they have now reached a point where they have every chance of putting out championship teams. This year we are fully represented on the athletic field. We had a basketball team in three divisions, the 100-lb., the 130-lb., and the unlimited teams. As this goes to press we are in the midst of our baseball season, which has been fairly successful to date with better hopes for the future. Training is under way for the track and field meet at Petaluma in the near future, and there we expect to bring to light some new stars. basketball The three teams have played a total of twenty games, winning nine of these. PIONEER FRUIT CO. The unlimited started the season with a series of three games with the Pioneer Fruit Company, all of which were won by C. H. S. with a small margin in each game. BOONVILLE We now tackled Boonville with both unlimited and 130-lb. teams. The unlimited game was a walk-away for Cloverdale with a large score in our favor. The 130 pounders were defeated by a small score. CALISTOGA Our next opponent was Calistoga in the unlimited division. We were defeated, but two of our stars were out of the game. Frates, the captain and guard, was laid up with a sprained ankle, and Barker, a forward and shark on goal, was also out. A return game was arranged. By this time our team, was at its strong¬ est and easily defeated the team that had walked on us before. GEYSERVILLE We played Geyserville our old rival. They defeated our unlimited team by four points but the one game went to C. H. S. in the light division. The following week we played them again with the same results except they won from the unlimited by only two points. lyttons The hundred and hundred and thirty pound teams journeyed to Lyt¬ tons and returned with a defeat from the former and a victory for the latter.
