r6 THE PAXTON HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTOR former one played at Kankakee. The visitors started with a rush and scored all their three runs in the initial inning. Pitcher Kelso then tightened up and was very selfish ever after. P. H. S. batted the ball at will, and ended the game with a total of 8 runs Lundin was accidentally spiked in the 7th inning and was forced to retire in favor of Flora. The feature of tha game was the furious batting of Swenson—getting four hits out of five times at bat. FOR SCHOOL ATHLETES “To the boys I wish to say a special word. I emphatically believe in manliness, in courage, in physical address, but I believe quite as much in good comradeship and in a spirit of fair play. I hope that wherever you enter a contest you will do all that is in you to win and yet that you will remember that it is far better to fail than to win by any unfairness, by any underhand trickery. Keep in mind that it is only by persistent effort in the face of discouragement that any of us ever do anything that is really worth while doing. The fellow who gives up when he is once beaten is made of mighty poor stuff and if he thus gives up as soon as he is beaten in a sport, he does not stand much chance of success in the serious conflicts of after life. “The true spirit, the spirit which wins victories in after life, is the spirit which fights hard to succeed, but which takes defeat with good nature and with the resolute determination to try again. It is a good beginning for this serious work of after life if on the playgrounds you learn how to co operate with your fellows and to do your best to win, while at the same time treating your opponents with fairness and courtesy. —Theodore Roosevelt “Jforth Sttto thr Ciitht of illumiB' (Cnmmritrrmrttl Jlrtmram £aturfUui turning.

THE PAXTON HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTOR S txrbatujra The Commencement number being the last publication of “The Reflector” for the present school year, we wish to assure all our Exchanges that we have enjoyed the reading of their columns and hope that the intervention of a few months for vacation will not occasion their removal from our Exchange List. Many criticisms have been made by our exchanges in regard to tho size and form of our paper and we have felt, at times, that they were not wholly unjust. A change has been effected, at laa:, and although we cannot be assured, at present, of its permanency, we believe that its desirability will be realized, and consequently observd in the future editions of the paper. The Lake Breeze, a new exchange from Sheboygan, Wis., is a thoroughly good paper and always contains a number of interesting articles. The idea of a German edition is a novel one, and is well carried out by “The Breeze. The Rayeu Record of Youngstown, Ohio, is one of our most complete exchanges. It easily shows the support and enthusiasm of the members of the student body in the school. The following article, placed in the ‘Jestorial’ column, is taken verbatim from ‘The Nooz’: Rex R.—“Mr. Woodham, do you think that the automobile will ever displace the horse?” Mr. Woodham—“Yes, it most likely will, if it ever hits him.” Teacher of Elocution (excitedly)—“Too flat! Too colorless ! You can do better than that. Try again. Now! open your mouth and throw yourself into it.”—Ex. The musical cigarette box! Every time you open it, it plays, “Nearer My God to Thee.” Money talks. As we’ve heard tell; But to most of us It says, “Farewell.”—Ex. Teachers cranky Pupils few’ Questions flying Zeros, too. What’s the matter? Don’t you know? Monday morning’s Always so.—Ex. Carl was on a visit with his mother and her friend was charmed with
