JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 7 Now, I think this just fits the situation here at jordan High School, as to its ball teams and other sports, for after all a ball team is what you make it. If each one of us said, ifLet the other fellow go to the games, it won't make any differencejl who will be there to fill the grandstand, bleachers and sidelfnes? We must not get the idea that they canyt get along without us, but at the same time we should be brought to realize that our cooperation is needed. I know from experience that a good live cheering section is a great help to a team. It gives them the iight and determination. Of course, there are those few who always go rain or shine, those are real sports. It isn't the individual, nor the army as a whole, but the everlasting team- work, of every bloominl soul. This stands true not only in the cheering sec- tion, but also in the game itself. That is one of the big essentials of the game. -Forrest Libby, '29 REFLECTIONS As we, Seniors of the class of 1929, graduate and go out into the world into life's great battlcs, we all take different roads, some leading, maybe, to fame and fortune, while others drift along with the more common things of life. Each one having his place. We cannot all be valedictorians, nor may we all attain any special notice, but many a shining light is hidden under a bushel, which, with a little breath, would burst forth into a bright Hame. I have in mind several of my classmates who are, in their own quiet way, true geniuses, but have not been discovered by many. It is almost always the person who can't dance, can't play the piano, who is most willing to advertise his abilities and to pose as a star. There is one bo-y in our class who has a remarkable voice and hardly knows it. If this same voice were to be cultivated who knows but he might some day be in Grand Opera! ll But no, he and his talent, are merely mem- bers of the class of '29. Then we have our Math. shark. A boy who is unselfish and always will- ing to lend a helping hand to the more unfortunate. He, too, I am sure will join the ranks of the leaders of the day. , Then there are the dancers, the musicians, the actors, who can say what these people may give to the world! Let you who are interested watch their progress- it is, indeed, for fate to decide. Nothing is impossible to the man who will l l! -M ary Hyde., '29 WHEN A FELLOW NEEDS A FRIEND We have all seen cartoons of the forlorn-looking boy who is in need of a friend after some occurence, but we seldom associate this cartoon with our af- fairs in life. Did you ever think that a person who has made a mistake, yet, has done his best, needs our encouragement more after this mistake, than he needs our praise after some especially good act?

8 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO When a person has done his best no matter how badly he may succeed at first, he deserves some encouragement to keep him above water. Don't you think it would be kinder towards our friends, to judge their achievements by their capability? -M ary O'4VeiZ, ,ZQ PLAY FAIR AND LET THE BEST MAN WIN How many of us have heard these same words from some great coach or other man that stands high in the field of Sportsmanship? Many of us have, I am sure, but how much thought have we given them? These words need not apply especially to Baseball, Football, or the other sportsg they may be applied to our everyday lives. Our chances to live up to this thought are getting rarer, especially in school. A few of us will go to college and many of us to work, but wherever we go or what we do, if we live up and play the game hard and fair, we are bound to be a success. -John Flaherty, ,ZQ THE PUBLIC SPEAKING GROUP
