THE LOUD SPEAKER '38 COURAGE Screw your courage to the sticking-place, and we'll not fail. fShakespeare Everyone's courage at some time or other must be testezl. If all our lives were smooth and flawless, there would be no satisfaction in the end. It is each trial that we over come which makes success so sweet. If we screw our cour- age to the sticking place, there is no difficulty which we cannot overcome. As we look back over life, it is the courageous deeds of our lives which we cherish. In the World War, the very soul of France was shown by the grim deteumination at Verdun, They shall not pass . These men were determin- ed to die rather than yield that gateway to Paris. Their courage was certainly screwed to the sticking point . A modern example of Shakespeare's quotation can be shown by our own beloved and honorable president. Mr. Roosevelt has screwed his cour. age to the sticking point, and without a doubt, he has given the American people a greater hope than they have had since the depression. Having given to his country the best he has. no doubt the best will come back to him in the shape of a courageous people in a courageous country. . We Fail? Never! We'll screw our courage to the sticking place 7-A. E. LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER Life's fitful fever -how true is that expres- sion--a fitful fever, a walking shadow, every thing that's uncertain and unstable. Huge fortunes totter and fall, beggars become millionaires over night, life's but a question at the most. Nothing is certain in this world of ours. One day everything is calm and serene, with the sun shining cheerfully overheadg the next day a terrible earthquake or tornado wipes us off the globe. We poor, ignorant human beings think of life as the all important, everything that imatters, but to be a superhuman?-4'The world's a bubble and the life of man less than a span . Why should we be disturbed by petty trifles, jealous grievances, and the like? Destinyffthe all powerful-doesn't give us our own way about the essentials of life, it just marks out our path, and we have to follow it. Life's a fitful fever with which we have to deal blindfolded, not knowing what is in storeefor us. Man's life is like unto a winter's day, Some break their fast and so depart away, Others stay dinner, then depart full fedg The longest age but sups and goes to bed. O' readers, then behold and see! As we are now, so must you be. kJ. C. THE FIRST SNOW Softly and silently, swiftly and gladly, The light fluffy snowflakes fly. They rush by my window madly And ,make me wish that I were not I. First they whirl in eddies, And then they slant-wise go: Oh, how I wish I were ready To fly away with them so. How they seem to jumble, Like a fine, white misty veil. They bring us news a-tumble Of a world high above the vale. The wind carries them onward, And they drift in banks so high, They cuddle themselves ground-ward, And in soft furry beds they lie. J. E.

THE LOUD SPEAKER 35 BASEBALL The Elkland High School baseball tearm for the spring of 1934 entered the Tioga County High School Baseball League and was awarded the trophy for having been the champion team in the league. The team this fall played four games of which they lost three and won one. The reason for these defeats is due, probably, to the fact that thc team is composed of nearly all new players, those of last spring's team having been graduat- ed last term. The team, it is believefl, will be in better condition for the spring games. Line up: Haimmondf-catcher J. McDonald, Dorn-short stop Louis Caffo-'second base Ncwtoriffirst base Behrman-pitcher Mozier, Bixby -third base Cain, Cass- right field Pattison, McConnel-left field Ludlum-center field Substitutes: Loundsburry, R. McDonald, R. McCaslin, Baker, Rice, Smith and Hackett. BASKETBALL The boys basketball team is in the same con- dition as the baseball team. Having lost most of its players through last year's graduation, the team had to be made over, and due to the cold and rainy weather had very little time to get into condition for games after the baseball scason. The first gaime was with Jasper, where the team was defeated 12-21. The second team did not play in the first game of the season, but in the second game, with Millerton, both teaims took part. The first team lost this game to thc opposing team with the score 17437. The second team was more decisively defeated 10-37. There was not much time for interclass games, but class teams were fonmed and this gave the players more and better practice than they would have had otherwise. Coach Wood this ycar chartered a bus to carry the teams about the country to their games. This step was taken to avoid the confusion and delay caused by the separate automobiles. First Team-R.

They defeat ed Jasper 6-3. They didn't do so well in their second game, with Millerton, losing the game 4-'7. Before the baseball season was over, the girla, under the direction of Mr. Barocco, form- cd interclass basketball teams in which all the high schocl classes were represented. This early start and the interclass games gave the girls more practice than the boys, and because they were in better playing condition, we expected them to bring home imore victories than the boys. But having to practice on the open courts as do the boys' teaums, they are handicapped by the weather the same as the boys. It is hoped that the boys' and girls' basketball teams of E. H. S. will bring home as many victories as any teams before. First Team-Van Gorden and Cashdollar, for- wardsg Bailey, Carson and Ellicott. guards: Little, center. Substitutes: Caffo, Finelli, K.
