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!

Basket Ball Song. fSung to the tune of Marching Through Georgia. l Bring the good old Basket Ball, we'll play another game, We'll play it with a vim that'll put the rest to shame, We'll play it as we never played it, with a snap and aim, VVhile we are marching to victory. Chorus. Hurrah! Hurrah! here come the St. Joe girls, Hurrah! Hurrah! they've answered to the call. We'll root for them and yell for them for they are brave and true, While they are playing the ga-me. OUR TEANI. I Once we had a great big ball, VVe took it down into the hall, And such a game as we did play We made the people look and say, Here's the C. H. S. team you see And every girl is full of glee. II First comes the captain true, yes, Helen Gass, She has the ball, do let her pass. III Behind her towers Anna Dowling, the Center. And everyone cheers when she doth Unbuttoning her sweater, Irene cries out, Who said that girls were good only to shout ? V The game's begun, Oh! where's our guard? k'On duty cries Mugs, pufling hard. VI Like a. streak of greased lightning comes forth at a bound, Chatz Niblick, the Forward, right in the first round. VII Anna Baker's Johnny on the spot. IVhen she gets in, the other side gets it hot. VIII Marie Foos, our good friend, will yell, And her lusty yells we ne'er would sell. IX VVhen the game is o'er we'll all de- pend. On t Dinny Clark to shout till the end. -Anon BASKET BALL.
