THEiMAElNBSi H ATH LETICS 1939-1940 THE BEST’ Did you fail in the Race ? Did you faint in the spurt Where the hot dust choked and burned ? Did you breast the tape ’midst the flying dirt That the leader’s spikes had spurned ? Did you do your best- Oh, I know you lost. I know that your time was bad. The best of it since the beginning, lad. Is in taking your licking and grinning, lad, If you gave them the best you had. Did your tackle fall short ? Did the runner flash by With the score that won the game? Did it break your heart when you missed the try Did you choke with hurt and shame ? If you did your best- Oh, I know the score; I followed you all the way through . And that is why I am saying , lad, That the best of the fight is staying, lad, And the best of all games is the playing, lad. If you give them the best in you. -—Nelson Robins. CLASS OP 1940
