H. C. LSCROLL 5 iffllfll SPORTSMEN When we think of Pearl Harbor, it gives us a certain satisfaction and pride to realize that we cannot imagine our nation stooping to do the thing the Japanese did to us. ln America there's 9, sporting instinct that would make such an underhanded and clan- destine move impossible. The code that so prevalently would upho-ld us is A sporting, chance for man and beast. Summer and fall stretch ahead of us-the time of year when we all have a special chance to show whether or not we live up to this code, looked upon as one of our major characteristics. In spite of the stern condi- tions, many of us will be able to get into the woods, up on the mountain tops, out on the prairies, the lakes, the streams, the ocean shore, and drink in the peace and beauty of our land. But where d-:les the sportsman cfme in? Well, the person who follows the rules and laws, who releases the undersized trout, who fishes and hunts according to the conven- tional lawsg in other words, who gives the wild creatures the same sporting chance he would accord humans, is building up char- acter in the true American way. Hzw im- portant this devel-opment of character is during our school life! All students are con- scious cf some type of sportsmanship, not necessarily in the field with rod and gun, but in daily contact with our fellow men. The boy or girl cn the basketball couri, -:lr on any other field of sports who would rather play fair than win is laying a firm foundation of good sportsmanship which we find so essentially important as we prepare for entry into a career. Perhaps y:u are going to spend your sum- mer in war work, or even in the service of your country, thus giving up the long vaca- tion days or possibly years of your life in helping Uncle Sam in his great time of need. That in itself is as sporting a thing as you can ever do. Let's make whatever we attempt a worthwhile thing. regardless of its nature. N. S.. '45 DID YOU EVER THINK OF THIS? Why did you come to Higgins? Did you plan to have a good time, to study, or tc- dc both? You may think the first and second quite possible but you may frown upon a combination of both. Well, they go well ts-- gether. DOI1't you think most of the horor students have a maximum of enjoyment as well as of opportunity to study? The major- ity of h:nor students will agree with me. If you will refer to the Senior section of out yearbook you will notice that the honor students carried the extra curricular activ- ities. D:esn't that prove something to you? Now, to be a little more personal, look at ycur past activities and your future. In the undergraduates' remaining years here, they should pick out the extra curricular activ- ities they feel they would enjoy. Then they should stick by them. When you have four years of knowledge under your hat and the memories of many happy hours .spent be- yond the shade of a study hall or a class- rcom door doing other things, you can say. I've accomplished almost as much as 1 would like tc- have done. Further, tell yourself, Next year I'll do that little extra I couldn't dc- this year and then I can be proud--to plan more for the following year. How much longer is this? You're asking by now. Well, I've said about all .I want tc. Mull it over in your mind and find the moral to this editorial, if there is one. But then again, if y:-u've been polite enough to read this far you deserve to be told: Study and have Fun! P. L. B. '45 .. DETERMINATION To me determination is the quality most necessary for a successful career. We might ask- What is determination ? It is a pur- pzse, a resolution or the act of deciding. Throughout cur child life, teen-age days and after we have reached manhood or wimanhood, we promise ourselves to do various things. These promises are resolu- tions and each one tends to make uf: do better.
