16 THE TATTLER BE ENTHUSIASTIC. Enthusiasm is an element of accomplishment. For what can be realized unless one’s mind and desire are in the work? The half-hearted person never succeeds. How often we hear the complaint of some poor self-pitying member of our ihigh school, Oh, dear, we’ve got the awfullest lessons for tomorrow. I know I never can get them.” The pessimist who always borrows trouble never gets anywhere. A good example of what enthusiasm will do is seen in the recent success of the play given for the High School Gym. Those who were so ardent over its production inspired others with their enthusiasm and the result was—success. Wouldn't it be splendid if all the members of (J. H. S. would be so enthused over the interests that should be common to all—but which, alas, are not—that they would help to ‘‘push things?” For instance, the basketball team is playing some of the best games in the history of C. H. S. but, we always see the same ones at the games. Aren’t you who don’t go interested in the sports of our school? It may seem incredible to seme but there are those in C. H. S. who don’t ever buy a Tattler. We often wonder if they have no interest in school affairs. C. H. S. is a little world in itself and what better preparation can you possibly have for promoting the “big things” which we all plan for some day, than to further the efforts of this glorious old school? Just get into the spirit of enthusiasm for everyday things and you will enjoy life ten times more. WHY THE WHY? Hid Jou e ei stop to think ho Af many times in the course of a week you needlessly use the word “why?” It seems that why is one of the most popular words in our vocabularies. Just notice anyone wfho is beginning to recite. His first word is invariably “why” or “wiby-a, it said, etc.” (‘‘It” referring to the text book.) Think it over. You imagine that you don’t say it but we venture to predict that the next time you are called upon, you will find yourself, unconsciously, introducing your recitation with our old friend “why.” TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. We take this opportunity for thanking our advertisers for their liberal support, of our paper and we urge that the members of the High School patronize the firms who patronize us. The class of ’87 of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N Y has presented it with a new gymnasium at a cost of $150,000. The gymnasium has been built and is now in use. It contains a swimming pool 30 feet by 75 feet in size, bowling alleys, rooms for inside baseball, basketball, boxing, wrestling, a squash court and the main gymnasium for general athletic exercise. The building is equipped throughout with the most approved modern apparatus. It is built of Harvard brick with limestone trmmings and is fire proof throughout.

S. opened the season of 1913 at the .high school gym New Year’s evening by taking the fast Ex-High team into camp, in a close game by 25 to 16 score. 1 he high was a little weak in basket shooting, but their team work was good. The first half opened with the high school getting a foul in the first few seconds. Stone followed this by another and then Childs scored a field goal for the Ex-Highs. From this on the game was about a tie until the close of the first half when Leach caged the three in a row, giving the high school the lead, 16 to It). The game was rough and fast, as all the high and ex-high games ore. The large number of fouls called seemed to slow up the game. Nine points were made during the last half. Stone made a good showing in foul shooting by putting six out of nine tries in the basket. It was seen that Stone and Leach were the stars of the game. Pearce, Good an 1 Childs, t)he stars for the ex-highs. Dunn kept close to the instructions given in passing the ball. Evans had a little hard luck in basket shooting.
