THE TATTLER , 17 ed from His gaping wounds. His face-oh! the pity of that Face- blood mingled with dirt and caked itself on I.t But then He raised His eyes and oh!-the indescribable tenderness and love of those Eyes. They found mine and held them. My heart bounded and I fell to my knees, for I recognized Them as those of the little Child who had so bewilder- ed and charmed me years before in Galilee. Faith like a balm entered and filled my tired heart and I realiz- ed it was a God who was looking into my very soul. With one last fare- well look into those Iniinite Orbs I was dragged away by the mob and lost in the crowd. But never till I die shall l be able to efface the mem- ory of those Eyes that won me to the true Faith and I hope to Life Ever- lasting. Reproduction by M. Mylott '23 We have a precious heirlcom in our school-room. It is a gold clock with inlaid platinum hours. Diamond min- utes and pearl seconds enhance its marvelous beauty. Ive are each sta- tioned as guard over it and woe to us if at the end of the school day we cannot account for every little jewel missing. ADVERTISEMENTS Wanted-A man to dig a well with a Roman nose.

Mylott echoed the Appleman Yes your lot! come let's hurry? Ouch, you stepped on my Foes in your hurry, cried the Baker, Vell, nefer mind, come on. You'll haf to yump the fence over to get into Mylott said the Appleman All-a-right, here I go, said the Baker as he crawled under the wire fence. He made a wry face when he saw the ugly rent in his trousers. You should worry, consoled the Appleman.', Take it to the t'Schneider, he'll mend it for you. Just go to his house, pull DeBolt and he'll let you in. De Heideman iss always on de street and he vill see me ven I go past, wailed the Baker.

Twlwdwiixilill-Miilsliiiiwsiid The Benfiets of Athletics. Teachers of youth are daily recog- nizing more and more the education- al value of athletics. This assertion is attested to by the fact that our greatest universities have made, or are considering the making of ath- letics, compulsory for all their stu- dents. And rightly so. For no one can gainsay that athletics, when sanely pursued, evolve the faculties of the body and promote and preserve its health. Mens sana in corpore sano said the old Romans. And although this rule has its exceptions as all rules have, it cannot be denied that the possessor of a sound healthj' body is better fitted to meet the fa- tigue and strain of strenuous study than is his less robust, weaker com- panion. For it is a undisputed fact that the condition of the body has no little influence on the condition of the mind. Athletics, furthermore, train the mind to form quick and accurate judgments. The trained atlete will instantly see the situation and as quickly choose the most effective way of meeting it. In other words, athletics promote the faculty of re- sourcefulness in emergency-a facul- ty invaluable in any walk of life. Lastly, athletics are a schooling in self-control. For to be able to over- come ones temper when crossed, to persevere to the end even though de- feated, to sacrifice ones own will for the good of others, to work in har- mony with ones team-mates, are these insignificant acquirements? Indeed, far from insignificant, they are invaluable when later dealing with men and Women in the great game called life. f-sfxfxfxf f- -x,NfX,fxfvxf,,x Since education in its truest sense is the development of all man's facul- ties, intellectual, moral and physical, it is evident that athletics, wisely pursued and rightly directed, have their proper place in every well or- dered school. -Rev. O. Peters BOYS' DEPARTMENT. The St. Joseph's High School boys have not as yet entered into the Athletic Field, but the boys are looking forward to next year, ex- pecting to accomplish great things along this line. With the coming of the undefeated eighth grade basket ball stars to high school next year, old St. Joe expects to put a team into the field that will make the fans of this indoor sport sit up and take notice. The eighth grade team has been playing a fine brand of ball so far, defeating all their opponents by a large score and is expected by all to carry off the county eighth grade championship. With loads of pep, push, and perserverance S. J. H. S. will within the next few years be placed on the level with any school in this section of the state. Rah! Rah! St. Joe, Let's go. -A. Appleman, '23 The St. Joe boys' team has played a number of games, since school re- opened and has come out victorious at the end of each. Hurrah for the Boys! Friday evening, January 7th, the St. Joseph's girls played the Central girls and won with a score of 15-S. Babies in the High Chair, Who put them there? Pa, Ma, Ziss, Boom, Ba, Rah! Rah! Ran!
