THE CREST 21 have found the work suited to him, and the town will be working in harmony for the advancement of its welfare. Athletics tend to build up a healthier race of men and women. It enables them to develop physically and they are better fit to take up their work in life. Domestic science is beneficial in that it takes up food dieta- ries. It affords the girls an opportunity to study the kinds of food nec- essary to make up a proper diet. It also teaches them to be economical, in that it emphasizes the fact that expensive foods are not always the most nutritious. Domestic art and manual training are uplifting and educational studies as well. They teach the boys and girls to be useful about the home. . A high school is also advantageous to a community in that it is a social center. It affords good clean amusement for the citizens and it tends to bring them closer together. It is a bond of union between the different sections of a town and its doors are always open to all. Every town is judged by its educational system, and a town without a high school is considered as behind the times. The educational system is the framework of a town, while all other secondary' institutions look towards it as a beacon light. Education is the basis of all civilization. A high school contains the high ideals and ambitions of a town. It is ever striving to make the world a better place to live in and is a symbol of service. It stands ever for the highest ideals of man and is ever beckoning students to enter its majestic halls to drink from its fountain of knowledge. OUR PEERLESS CLASS. The Seniors excel in ideas that are large, These they will give without any charge. But our peerless bunch just can't be beat, Our spirit and zeal are surely 'a treat. The Juniors do a curious dance, Of which they love to talkg They haven't seen that classy prance, Namely, the Freshie Walk. The Sophomores brag at what they have done By yelling at basketball games that were won, In spirit and loyalty we've beat them I'm sure, And by putting three stars on the team we did more. On the Freshies the teachers rely, Of that there is no question whyg Our intelligence elsewhere can't be found, Some day the world we'll surely astound. We're such a modest class, you understand, That all our virtues you'll surely not demand, But I'l1 say we've never met defeat, For the Freshies 'simply can't be beat.

They keep studentsof. different schools in touch with each other. A school can be Judged by its team. The team is what the school makes it. There are two apparent purposes of a game-first, to see .Wl1'lCh-LtB3m- can make the highest score, the other, to see which student-body can make the most noise-so that all take part in the game. When games are played at Murray, our sideliners are always successful. The girls of our school take an active part in athletics. They have some star basketball shooters and a couple of baseball teams which have had a wonderful success during the entire season. However, they never play outsiders. Character building and keeping the body in a strong healthy condition are important factors that can be achieved through athletics. A good athlete must work his hardest during the entire game. He must have confidence in his team. He must be big enough to take a few knocks without getting sore, and not get downhearted when theoscore is going the wrong way. A team of such players is a good one. ' Teaming must not be omitted. This teaches the boys to work together. Not only in games is this necessary, but all through life. The men who stand together and fight together are the men who win. A' game is one place where boys must work together. Endurance, a factor of great importance all through life, is stimulated greatly by athletics. Our nation at the present time wants men who are strong, healthy and able to endure hardships. A large percentage of the men who are filling these places are those who have been active in athletics. It is therefore advisable for every boy to get in and do his level best, whereby he will build up his character, his body and his school. The Murray High School basketball squad made a trip to the Basketball Tournament at Logan this year. The games played were between the Branch A. C., Box Elder .High, Tooele High and Brigham Young High School. . We witnessed three nights of high class basketball and because of a tie the deciding game had to be played on Saturday. The Branch A. C. returned victors in this game, thereby winning the state high school cham- pionship. A A During our stay in Logan we visited the different departments of the school and learned much to our advantage. We also attended one of the A. C.'s rousing rallies, where we got our first glimpse of college spirit. The last day of our stay was marked by the big banquet given in honor of the visiting teams by the Domestic Science girls of the A. C . , We wish to thank the Student Body for the financial assistance in sending the team to the tournament, as the social and intellectual benefits derived from such a trip are very beneficial.
