Uhr iKnah in Hirinrg, 191 -113 HE athletic se-ason ot' 1915-16, taken as a whole, was, by far, the inost sucessful. eycr experienced by the Purple and White. lhere was a distinct advancement in all branches ol' athletic I endeavor, an improvement so profound and so drastic that il GS . . . amounted to a veritable evolution. H1 'hland Park had lound hersell at last! .Phat latent power so ong concealed, so long dormant, broke lorth as lll a mighty flood, carrying all before in the mad, lrreslstible, mighty. rush. While formerly tlere had been a satis- ltICl10l1 in merely making a good showing, nothmg gratified us last season but decisive victory. Brom a lonely trial horse lor other con- ference teams, we became a lormidable opponent--a stumbling block ff? SN JoHN I. NlEI.SON whereon many a toe was stubbed. During a single year Old Highland rose to the forefront in athletics, I rom mediocrity to the leadership. The old order has passed and a new regime has sounded the death knell to our athletic lethargy. To John I. Nelson, our dynamic, versatile athletic director, rnueh credit is due for our uniform success in sports. Hustle was his watch- word and he was the prime factor in bringing to Highland Park College such coaches ot' known worth as Mark Hyland and Louis D. Crull. ln addition to his various other activities, he coached a championship base- ball team. It is with deep regret we hear ol' his resignation, to take place the end of the college year. We I'eel that Highland is the loser. May he ever succeed as he has succeeded here.
