To improve the world begin by im- proving yourself. Wishing, of all employments, is the worst. Care, to our coffin, adds a nail, no doubt, and every grin, so merry draws one out-—Nolcott. There is no man suddenly either ex- cellently good or extremely evil. —Sid- ney.

The Scarlet and Gray 13 N. H. S. at Deleware The 7th of March N. H. S. played Stivers High of Dayton at Deleware. This game was very fast and interest- ing, N. H. S. not giving up until the last minute of play. The final score ended 28 to 19. LINE UP N. H S. 19 Stivers 28 Love Right Forward Hullinger Aumiller Left Forward Sajornty Howell Center Fenner Edington Right Guard Pallock Kontner Left Gurrd Hollen Field Goals: Love, Aumiller4, Howell 2, Hullinger 3, Sajornty 2, Fenner 3, Hollen 2, Pallock 2. Foul Goals: Aumiller 7, Sajornty 4. N. II. f 3., as is seen by the above last two games, did not bring home the “bacon” from Deleware. However our boys all say they would not have missed attending the state meet for anything. Marietta the unchallenged state champions have only been defeated twice this year. It is quite a notable and praiseworthy fact that N. H. S. was one of those two teams, who could beat this fast team. They were the acknowledged peers of all the teams attending the meet. Three cheers for N. H. S. Basket Ball Team of 1913-1914. Base Ball and Track The fine spring weather we have been having the last two weeks has summoned the Base Ball and Track Enthusiasts out into the open. All aboard for a victorious season in these two branches of athletics. N. H. S. has plenty of promising material and now it is only a question of time and practice. Come out fellow, and boost for the glory of old Nelsonville High. OUR MAIL BAG Dear Editor, Plese tel me wy Royden Lancaster cums too skule so ofen eatin a dill pikel? Yors respectively, I. M. A. Dunce. Answer— We refer you to Rhea Hood- let, Jefferson St. The question requires a personal answer. Dear Editor, Could you please tell me why “Lazy” Edington goes up Fort Street every night and where he goes? This has been puzzling me for some time. Yours truly, A. Gossip. Answer—We very stealthily followed Mr. Edington one evening last week. Our pur posed revelation must have been torseen by this gentleman, for we were gently tapped upon the “bean” with a life sized brick-bat and the next thing we knew the town clock was striking four. Our determination is voiced oy Poe in these words “never- again. ’ Mr. Editor, What is the class color of the “Freshies?” A. Soph. Answer -Look at their actions. In these the color is personified. Mr. Editor, When are the Juniors going to come across with that promised banquet? Answer—The Junior represenitives of the Staff refer you to Mr. Ferree and Mr. Timmons. Mr. Editor, What verse in the Bible best de- scribes a high school student?

The Scarlet and Gray 15 Attempt the end and never stand the doubt, Nothing’s so hard but search will find it out. —Herrick. Immodest words admit of nodefense; For want of decency is want of sense. —Kosconnion. The man who seeks one thing in life and but one. May hope to achieve it before life be done; But he who seeke all things wherever he goes, Only reaps from the hopes which around him he throws, A harvest of barren regrets. . —Meredith. It is better to follow even the shadow ot' the best than be content with the worst. —Van Dyke. Let every hour of the day be filled just as well as you know how to fill it. When work seems uninviting think how fine it is to have it out of the way — and dash in. “Everything comes to him who waits,” provided he waits with hustle and not with lethargy. Content must come from within; it cannot be forced from the outside. Be kind. Why not? Self-distrust is as much of an impedi- ment to progress, as self-conceit. “Measure your capacity for efficient woik, cultivate a willing spirit and then go ahead and do something. Is not that the secret of a happy earnest life not overbusy but serene, steady and fruitful?” —Bridgeman. “Be somebody! No young man onght to think of living without trying to make his influence felt around the globe. ’’—Mills. “Cease being ‘anybody’ or ‘nobody’ and rise to the dignity of ‘somebody.’ We can be somebody to our school- mates, our friend, our neighbors, our church associates. The secret is first, to build ourselves up in the finest graces and virtues, and then to expend them lavishly on others.” — Mills. Lost time is nevei found again; time enough always proves little enough. — Franklin. Look cheerful no. matter how you feel and it won’t be long before you’ll feel as cheerful as you look. Well earned praise is a stimulant. Give it to others; deserve it yourself. Think it out. Make every motion, every thought, every minute tell. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. -Franklin. Unto those who talk and talk, this proverb should appeal: “The steam that blows the whistle will never turn a wheel.” When you have a task set before you Don’t glare at it and frown. And say I can’t. Just smile, and say;—I’ll try. Webster Debating Society The first two meetings of the Web- ster Debating Society have certainly gone far beyond our expectations. The question debated the evening of Feb. 27ch, in room XI was: Resolved, that women should be given the priv- ilege of equal suffrage. The negative was ablv defended by Raymond Krepple and Herrold Lancas- ter. The affirmative side of the ques- tion was upheld by Cleo Williams and Nellie Matthews. Cleo Williams probably knew the question a little better than the others
