During this year when the Q E welfare of athletics in the school has seemed so discourag- gi Q ing at times, when the school has lost two coaches through Qi draft or enlistment, it has been Mr. Steere who has made the E1 E carrying out of any athletic schedule at all possible, both hy E ta actually giving his services as coach and hy arousing in his Q whole-hearted way, the interest and loyalty and enthusiasm Ei of the student body with his mass meetings. As chairman of M Q the Section Teachers for the Senior Class, Mr. Steere has E E heen a wise leader, trusted advisor and loyal friend.

The Progress of the School Year Iiqgfif' TUDDENTS who study Physics often think that the lowly pendu- lum isanerely useful-as an illustration of the laws of kmetic and L ' . potential energy 1 while others have the opinion that it is a neces- I-11-I .sary ornament to some clocks. But there is still another use. ' '-5 'i It has been noticed by the thinkers of the ages that the move- ments of all human life, its complex organizations and societies, forms of government and practically every phase of this mysterious life. observes the simplerules of the pendulum. There is always a period of their growth compared with the rise of the pendulum, and again a dc- cline in their growth compared with its fall. As the movements of the pendulum are retarded and hnally stopped by nature's forces, so in time will its counterpart in human life cease to exist. School life being a unit of this scheme of natures, observes the same rules. At times, phases of her activities are on the upward progress, and others on the downward: while some cease forever. ' lf ever a class put forth a play with real life in it, the kind that had such a pleasurable mixture of humor and seriousness that class is the class of 'l8. Contemplating the cessation of the Latin Club, the French Club, the Avon and Salmagundi Clubs, it may seem to a person that truly liter- ary interests in school are on the decline. But it is an example of the trend of modern times. of the entrance ot' the women into politics and business. These Clubs are being supplanted by the Lyceum and .'Xthen- aeum, which furnish their members practical experience in speaking. VVe must admit that at the beginning of the year debating was on the decline, but with the debating league organized and such a lively debate as the one with llatavia before us, new hopes arise. One debate outside of the league resulted in a win over Silver Creek. Football has again returned to rejoice our hearts. It is difficult for any school, having discontinued football as long as J. H. S., to jump in with as good a team as we had last fall. Practice makes perfect. Next year is going to be a big year in football. Basketball has been the mainstay this year. Big interest has been shown and the games have been well attended. The season has resulted in a great rivalry between J. H. S. and lYarren. Next year something is going to happen to them. Because of the war baseball has been practically laid on the sick shelf, although a 'wild cat league has been formed. The trouble with this league is there is no class rivalry to bring out the crowds. Some fine games have been played though. To help meet the cost of improving the campus, a second Com- 17
