June 6, 1930 THE CHALK LINK 7 ARE WE GOOD SPORTS (Continued from page five) their feelings by sobs and tears. I’d say that they’re real sports; but to be sure, ask—oh, well just any of us. We, who attend all the assembly exercises, filling our regular assigned seats, and come out wearing a look of over-enjoyment, are certainly to be classed as sports —even as Spartans. What could be a stronger test for a real sport than to find this big-hearted classmate, who never becomes sulky, when the Dean refuses to gratifv all his desires? For instance, one day Raymond asked Dean Burleson to excuse him from his Bible class. Upon close ques¬ tioning, Raymond was forced to admit, “Well—er, Dean Burleson, you see—I think my best girl friend will be in town at that hour.” Another conception of what a good sport on our campus would be—The one who holds his “chin up” after receiving very cutting remarks from either Mr. Rogers or Miss Mathews, accompanied by a large red “F”. Looking for a good sport, one might inquire, “Is he a good leader for the senior class, or is he a highly divine character? Has he intellectual ability befitting such a dignified position, or has he the “most irresist¬ ible” wave in his auburn hair? Does he use tact, di¬ plomacy, and discretion, or does he use the most tanta¬ lizing perfume? Is he the best dressed man on the campus? Has he a vital, forceful school spirit, or has he a most heavenly coupe?” There are so many splendid examples of a good sport in our class that I cannot attempt to give them all to you, but if you have been a close observer, you will have to say that every member of our class is a good sport —characterized by a spirit of generosity, co¬ operation, un-selfishness, cheerfulness, martyrdom, in¬ dependence, pride, and dignity —perhaps. —M. E. W. SENIOR NOTES Miss Josephine Miller tells us that she is planning on a big summer—visiting in Bulls Gap, Atlanta, Ga., and Hickory, N. C.
