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.

If these are wanting, there can be no loyalty, enthusiasm and school spirit. Foremost among school activities comes dramatics. Murray was not lacking in its usual dramatic ability this year, and the work was a marked success. This effort by the cast helped a great deal to put spirit into the school. The members were taken from all classes in the school, and this tended a great deal toward making dramatics so popular, as every class really had a share in them. Many members were initiated into this work for the first time and so were doubly anxious to make good. . The play itself was a charming three-act presentation of college life. The Senior, after whom the play was named, is a young man who has worked-his way through college by running a quick lunch counter. The other fellows of the school are wealthy and so look down upon him. Every- thing is changed, however, when Miss Eleanor Forbes and Mrs. Lee appear on the scene. Eleanor is well thought of by all of the college fellows, and so they all become angry when she shows a preference for Gordon Wain- wright. Mrs. Lee, her aunt, 'or the original frigid glacier, as she is called, has a great habit of quoting Letty Page, a Southern gentlewoman. This angers Eleanor, but on being found later that Letty Page was Gordon Wainwright's mother, all ends well. The young lovers, who were no other than Earlo and Dora, but who changed their names into Gordon and Eleanor for the occasion, are certainly to be congratulated on their quick lovemaking. Earlo had always claimed to be bashful, but no one was of that op-inion after watching his natural acting on the stage. But maybe this was due a great deal to the wiles of the young sweetheart, who probably was more experienced. The com- panions of Eleanor, who were in everyday life Melba, Edith and Margaret, carried off their parts in the p-lay with credit to themselves and the school. Lola and Denzil, as the funmakers of the cast, fulfilled their mission, for they certainly raised some laughs. Ruth played the part of the haughty Mrs. Lee as though she were cut out for that role. Herbert, as the Eng- lishman, certainly played his part to perfection. While we hope that Clif- ford won't always lead a double life as he did in the play, for the time he carried both parts off with a great deal of success. Arthur and Wayne would make good movie actors, as they can change so quickly. Clayton, although such a disappointed lover then, has fully recovered and is in his usual spirits once more. Audiences have individualities. Ours were easily
