DCI-IS--THE TATTLER.-LDCHS order to counteract and remedy th's tendency and he thanks the1n now for their Snid- ing care. He remember how overzealous fans tried to get the school authorities to relent and lower the standards to allow certain deficient students to play, so that the sthool team might be stronger. He remembers how great the impending threat of the loss of a game, because of the tirmness of the authorities ill these matters. looked to him in those school days. He now admires the principle of those authorities, their far- sightedness. their true contern for the good of the siudents. He's a fan now who looks upon school sports as part of the phys cal training ot the young students. He looks upon the members of his Alma Mater's team first as students, then as athle es-and he enjoys the games just as much as those who take a more solid viewpoint. He's always proud of the success of his Alma Mate1 s team competing wth other teams and he's proud that h's school is known far and wide by its teams. But he's prouder of the standard of his Alma Mater, of the success of her graduates tor, these are the best advertisement a school can have. He cannot live his school days over but he can help others live theirs as he wishes he had spent his. That is what the author of this little meditation, your athletic director. is trying to do. ,EA-toil? THINK-0-GRAMS The basketball season just passed was spiced with sweet surprises and bitter dis- appointments. The Commodores ot 1928-'29 played smarter and technically superior basketball to any team so far produced by D. C. H. S. The credit belongs to a hardworking team and a hardworking coach. We're familiar with the faces of our loval fans and appreciate their support. May the'r number ncrease and multiply and fill the gymnasium. Each year the Commodores play about one-third of the season before they are recognized as a team. two-thirds before they are recognized as a good team. and three- thirds before they are recognized as a great team. VVhy not believe us this year when we tell you that the Commodores will be as strong a team as usual next year? --.1101-.-- THE SECOND TEAM Coach Laurent uncovered some valuable material in the second team this year.
