ATHLETICS A meeting was called in September- for the election of officers and the following were elected: Ray I oyce, President. Ix»ren Bowman, Vice President. Leona Miller, Sec. -Treasurer. Owing to our disadvantage and inad- equate provision for athletics not so much has been accomplished. The school has no gymnasium, most of the pupils come or leave in busses, the noon and rest periods are of necessity short and the school officials have not deemed it expedient to excuse the pu- pils from classes to engage in athletics. But in spite of these handicaps athlet- ics have been developed upon several lines. By the time the baseball season clos- ed the team showed promising quali- ties and this spring have done fine team work. A number of Basketball games were played between the classes, the Juniors winning the championship: the Freshmen, although outweighed, were a very close second. Having poor facilities to practice basketball, arrangements were made with authorities of the Griffith High School to use the gymnasium two even- ings a week, but this was found disad- vantageous, to the Griffith and our own team. We failed in our endeavor to pro- cure the Hobart gym for practice and we were compelled to discontinue Bas- ketball for the season. The winter months were relieved by the introduction of the new national game Soccer. Many games were played on the school grounds. The boys enter- ed into the game with great pleasure and zeal. Boys who had not been in- terested in athletics became so by first engaging in this sport. This spring many did very strenuous track work and showed good form. Re- wards for track are offered as follows: A blue ribbon for first, red for second and white for third. For the highest scoring individuals the first reward a gold, the second a silver, and the third a bronze medal. An indoor baseball team is being or- ganized and a number of girls have tak- en advantage of it and although most of them are new at the game they are endeavoring to master it. —RAY LOYCE.

CHARACTER C HARACTER is power. Character makes the man and determines his success. Character is not in- herited, neither is it founded upon social position, nor does it come as a result of physical or material ad- vantage. It has to be developed by ex- perience, the most able teacher. There are two different kinds of character, moral and immoral. The man who possesses a moral character is able to distinguish the right and wrong in problems which confront him, and is most apt to choose the right path. The path that will mean most to himself and his fellowman. The man who pos- sesses an immoral character usually does not care for the right or wrong or else he is unable to distinguish what may be right or wrong. This type us- ually does not think much about the moral side of life. A poor man in the world’s estimation is not what may be termed poor if lie has developed a good moral character and is able to assert it. Any school, community, or nation can be brought forward or retar ded by this type of person. A person may be poor in wealth but possess ambition and will power on which he may develop an outstanding character. Character is much more enduring than fame. This may be shown by contrasting the lives of two men of different type in two dif- erent nations. Gladstone was born in England in 1809 in a great progressive age, amidst wealtii, luxury, and edu- cation. He attended the best schools and graduated with honors from Ox- ford University. In his early twenties he entered parliament and became the leader of his nation for over half a century. A man of this character leaves an imprint on a nation’s life. The oth- er man was born the same year, but he was not born amidst riches, luxury, and culture. He was born in a log cabin amidst hardships and danger and pov- erty. He did not have the opportunity to attend school, but received his edu- cation reading books at night after the field work was done. His education was not mainly from books but from nature, and in studying nature he learned to develop will power and ambition upon which he might base his character. His character won him the confidence of a nation and the highest honor that could be bestowed upon an individual in his country. This great man was Ab- raham Lincoln. A school, community, or social body should encourage the younger genera- tion to develop a clean moral character. To do this they should provide for sev- eral things; schools for proper educa- tion and developing of character, and pure, clean, wholesome entertainment for the younger generation so that they would stay in the community instead of drifting to the larger cities. If these things were practised in each commun- ity there would not be so much crime and the smaller communities would be the equal of the large cities for help- ful entertainment and the development of healthy and moral individuals.
