1 We LIFES STAIRWAY Life is just a stairway With sundry steps to climb. Some will fall down with decay, Be hid 'neath worldly slime. Others lead a firmer way Toward God and high ideals, And, in directing, to the day Bring peace and all it yields. This stair keeps on winding, Its steps are yet untrod- Above a star is shining To light the path we plod. Ever it's pointing toward The things for which we'll sing. Baslz. in its rays! Go forward! Face what the future will bring. There looms beside, behind With which chaos will cling-- Sin beck'ning to fall in line, To reap the evils it'll bring. By its stealthy power to bind, With conspiracies to sting, The very souls of good mankind. Light flees on gossamer wing! Our teachers 've served a guide To vie temptation's strife. Always alert, they,re by our side With valor defending life. Now alone we stand today- To struggle, fight without shield. May we like Tennyson ever say, To strive, seek., find, not yield. -MARY ELIZABETH GALBRAITH 41 l

png, Four THE PIXILATED JOURNAL Friday, Juvember 18, 1954 4' I I3 ms T I 4' Elizabeth Jarrett Has Second Chance Rendered lneligible By Pink Tea -ls OK If Good Girl Swimmers Rate High Uncle Sam's chances in the 1950 olympics have sky-rocketed due to the reinstatement of Elizabeth Ham- ilton Jarrett, II, star backstroke swim artist and National A. A. U. champion. Mrs. Jarrett was declared ineligi- ble for further competition follow- ing an investigation proposed by the Olympic Board. Due to the observance of certain irregularities pertaining to training regulations which tlnally terminated at a pink tea, the Olympic star was notihed of her discontinuance as a member of the Olympic Board. But it seems that the mental an- guish proved ample punishment and repentance on the part of the star was forthcoming, to such an extent that reconsideration by the Olympic Board was merited. Permission for further competition was granted on the basis that training rules not be scorned in the future. Other members of the swimming squad which bolster its chances of a win are: Billy Colston, 200 meter: Clit! Cameron, 100 meter: John Car- ter, 50 meter: Jim Watts, clown: and Victor Bogan, Asleep, in the Deep. D0 YOUR JIGGING at l-li-Lo Nite Spot 2 Miles Wide IF IT'S HEAT YOU WANT, HAVE IT!

The game pro- gressed at high speed and gave ln. dieations of being a natural , Nei- ther of the teams wasted any time sizing the other up, but recoiled and with blood in their eyes, locked horns in a battle to the nnish. The Alaskan team took the aggres- sive style of play, and from the very outset carried the action to the op- position, but before the game was well under way found themselves in hot water due to a freezing of the ball on the part of the Australian team, The mainstays in the Alaskan line- up were: John M. Lawrence, forward: Lloyd Pinkston, forward: Millard Snowden, center: and William Spald- ing, guard: while the outstanding players on the Australian team were: Loui Stephens, forward: Frank Sut- ton, forward: Robert Wilson, center: R. B. Stuart, guard: and T. Carter Hannon, stable boy. Buescher and Carney Tumble Bob McBryde In a rough and tumble tiddley wink match, the combination of Paul Bues- cher and Ben Carney proved too much for that great little squad consisting of Bob McBryde. Buescher put the disk in play when he forced it down-tleld to McBryde, who received in stride and made a magnificent attempt to score when the coveted object was intercepted by Carney, who passed to Buescher, the latter scoring with a beautiful two- iingered shot. Bernice and Thelma Harper were the officials, keeping order very nice- ly, thank you. Hippodrome In New Work City Scene Of National Weight Lifters' Meet Football Squad Goes On Road For Season Spring football training has drawn to a close after a sueeesaful season of the instruction of fundamentals to the younger hopefuls expected to till the vacancies of graduating seniors. Coaches Shirley and Brown predict trouble in camp for all opponents. The revised schedule calls for quite a little traveling on the part of the football team playing all games away from home. The gridders leave town on September 1 and remain on the road playing all-comers until De- cember 1 when they meet Central Hi in Berkley, California in a postfsea- son game, a traditional fued between the Wildcats and the Horse Flies. The coaches are basing their hopes on Spec Covington, Jr.: Cecil Mulloy, Jr.: Melville Collins, Jr.: and Derril Taylor, Jr., all star backs. Monarch Ping Pong Gets Swanky Hello King Ping Pong made his flrst ap- pearance to America's millions last evening and after having been ushered in, in regal fashion held full sway at the most prominent places of amusement. Mrs. Jeanne Ullman Worthington and Eleanor Myers Ward, profession- al doubles team defeated Misses Al- ma Jane Anderson and Bessie Maud Baker in a thrill packed doubles match, while Mesdames Sara H. As- towat and Dinah Brown Askew drew in an equally interesting singles match, and decided to take a ling at horse shoes. The championship doubles combi- nation will journey to Miami, Florida, where they will meet the south's best. Mrs. Hazel Williams Knockout and Mr. Willie Godwin.

BUTCHWALD AND HIS RHYTHM BUTCHERS With Elegant Hash - Everyday THE SNOOTABILT HOTELE I-lerculean Figures Like Pumz Searching For Food Morsels Socialites Present Records fell last night at the Hip podrome in New York during an ex hibition staged by the National Weigh' Lifters' Association. These men of brawn, these hereu- lean Hgures journeying forth as thi hunger-stricken puma emerging fron the purple mysteries of his mountair lair in search of some morsel thai might so much as stay the pangs oi hunger which envelope his natural instinct, may also be compared tc the lone hyacinth whose gracafu movements provoked by a -gentlu breeze may perchance charm one oi Mother Nature's more delicate crea- tures. The most outstanding performanel of the evening was that in which Joh! Renfroe took the lead. After having been introduced by his instructor, Atlas, Renfroe crossed the stage in a display of poise and dignity seldom manifested by Olll moat erudite ambassadors. Among society's elite to registel their names were: Mesdames Marian Champenois Gainey, Frances Duane Skoreone, Martha Ethridge Toldusoe and Josephine Odom Valedict. Mis: Betty Menton, the national golf stan also let her presence be known througt wild hoops of delight during the per- formance. Local Yo-Yoers Stage Competition A Yo.Yo contest was staged at thc municipal auditorium last evening which gained wlorld-wide attention. Burton Robinson won by a decision after nosing out Fred Popeye Par- tin in a fast match. Experts say the reason for Partin's defeat is due to his extreme height, the Yo-Yo must travel through too much distance. Mr. Robinson will represent this region in a national contest to be held in Lost Gap five years hence. Others participating in the contest were: Oliver Eastland, Frank Parke, James Peden and Wilbum Pankey. Pankey claims his defeat is due to a chronic twitching of the ears, which kept his mind off his game, while Peden seems to think his drawback was due to a last minute fall in his arches.
