operation and all successful teams arc successful because of co-operation. efficiency, etc. The Notre Dame football team for the past season has been an outstanding object lesson of just such virtues. The Four Horsemen were the best example of teamwork of the season. Everyone co-op- erated and obeyed the rules and was in his place at the right time so that the plays went across. Athletics also develops a good school morale and helps in the discipline of the school. Through athletics boys find opportunity to work off 'their' extra steam or energy, which is so characteristic of youth. 1 There are still a few persons who look upon athletics as an evil. But have those people ever stopped to think where some boys would spend their .extra time and energy if it were not for athletics. A boy or anyone in training has to keep himself in trim and follow strict rules which help to keep energetic young people straight. Clark W. Hetherington, a reliable authority upon this subject says that he has yet to find the boy who has done poorer wo1'k at school because of athletics, also. these sports improve our boys not only physically but also men- tally and morally. He has summed up the values in this way: 1 Class work is better. 2 The health of the school children is im- proved. 3 A wholesome school spir't is developed. 4 There is less trouble about discipline. owing to the clos- er relationship and better understanding: between the pu- pils and teachers. ' Athletics are an educational system in themselves. ev- cry game is an examination and shows the progress of the athlete during the season. - ', All of these principles and morals have been accom- plished and can be realized wherever the right kind of men are at the head of athletics andfllet us strive for the benefits and ideals of such athletic. contests in :the future.

So one evening n-fx in January when the air was rather fresh and the ground was covered with a beautiful white blanket. the Seniors ' met at the Hotel corner, and were taken 1- ' . 0 I L J LL t ' 1 ' fix.

Several hand sleds were attached to the bobs for those who wished to ride by themselves. When they were only 'ii short distance from their des- tination an-accident happened which caused much amuse- ment among all. The 'rope with which the bobs were fas- tened to the automobiles broke, and the entire bunch walked the remainder of the distance. After this little walk, everyone was ready to slide down hill. which they did during the evening. Now being rather tired of their fun, the party' jumped on the bobs and rode to Vanessa Moden's homej where refreshments were served. The merrymakers now being contented made their journey homenon the bobs again. Everyone had enjoyed the eveningrf and-'We1'efready for a good night's sleep. ' 1 rf. nfl .. Iwi. .
