1 - W I Athletics that wrcstles with us .Yfl't'lIfjf,1C'I15 mu and slzarpeizs our skill, our Clllfflfjlllllkff is our lzelfver. THLETICS are now'recognized as essential in our school life. Thru the medium of athletic activities, qualities of character not tested by either a physical efficiency, or a Binet test, may be stressed and developed. Athletes should learn to play their best, to carry on when tempted to slow up and quit, or when behind in the game, and to know the meaning of sacrifice. Our athletics teach the meaning of loyalty and teach the boys and girls what it means to fight for a principle and to be devoted to a cause. They place a premium on honest effort, award the one who wins and do not glorify the one who is lazy, incom- petent or a quitter. This is important because a great deal of sympathy is being wasted these days on the ones who will not pay the price of success. Brown's return to school meant one regular back in place. Several Freshmen and Sophomores, with a desire and a de- termination to make the team, made it possible to place a fighting team on the floor this year. Brown, Roberts, Fouch, Markins, Kirtley and Harris participated in the first game. Johnson and Wilson also have done their bit in several of the games. The basketball team was given excel- lent support by the Gaston people and the students themselves took unusual in- terest, and all turned out to see the games. On several occasions, more sup- porters followed our team away from home than attended from the community of the visited high school. Prospects for next year are extremely bright for a winning team. Only two members will be lost fro111 this year's team, Kirtley and Brown. The .lunior High will probably offer an acceptable contribution of material. Tournament Play. The Gaston High School Basketball Team upset the dope bucket in their first game of the Sectional Tournament, when they defeated Albany 24-10. Albany was outplayed in everyway. The offense was especially good. The defense held them to two points in the first half. The hopes of the Gaston fans rose high with this victory andi many predicted that the Fighting Five would play the finals with the Bearcats. However, the game with Eaton, in the semi-finals, was lost by the score of 25-12. The Second Team. Gaston High School's Second Basketball Team probably has as creditable record as any in the county. Out of 11 games they won all but three. They have two wins over Royerton, Albany, Upland, and one each over Cowan, and the strong Wilson .Iunion High, of Muncie. The only game lost to a Delaware County team was to Cowan by two points. Their fighting game and teamwork are largely responsible for the great improvement shown in the first team's work.
