6W 7a 4mm .The boys of the Freshman football team have hung up their armor fur the winter and are turning to other pursuits in the sports field. Although they fell short of their main objective, thvy had a very suc- cessful season and a lot of good. wholesome fun. Much credit is due their volunteer roaches, Dick Ileura and Eddie Juskela. Unfortunately, the high school teaching staff was shurt on men who Could takp over the reaching of the Freshmen and it luuked fur a while as thnuuh the boys would have to shift for themselves. Then the light bruke through and Dick and Ed- dip.came to the rescue. Tn their loyalty, generosity, and g'iod sportsmanship is due the fine training rules that are so essential in varsity playing. These vounz coaches may have beun disappointed that their team did not win more games, but they will find real satisfac- tion when the results of their work show up in varsity teams a year or two later. We congratulate the Fresh- men on their diligence and hard work. The fact that some nf their opponents haw. been us- ing Gillette Blue Blades for a year or two and Hpack an unA usual poundage made the going a littla hard at times. Well, that is just one of those little things that happen in a world like ours. Meeting them head rm is what brings eventual vic- tory. .Ray Lyman Wilbur, In his Ten Cnmmandmpnts. for Educa- u'on, writes, Remember that education is a lifelong process which begins with the nursery and ends w1th dying. This would be fine if the two activi- ties could be kept farther apart Observation leads us to think that in too many instanc- es the nursing ueriod is so prearly prolonged that it almost catches up with death, 71w MW WRITTEN, EDIT'ZD.
