| e SENIOB LITERARY Pio 1950 % id) VALUE OF ATHLETICS Some people believe that too much stress is placed on athletics. They believe that it is all right to have sports, but that when athletics are put over school subjects it is time to stop. One of the reasons is that in many of our present colleges money is given athletes for playing. Sports are a source of income for many of our high schools. The receipts are used to buy sporting equipment in most high schools and colleges. Some people belicve athletics develop sound, clean minds and a will to strive for success, and that athletes make better citizens. To be sure, athletics develop a rugged, competitive spirit, but is this sometimes destroyed by too much glory? How much better citizen wi l the plain non-sportsminded fellow make than the athlete? To me athletics are worthwhile and im- portant to a democratic nation. It is one thing in which everyone has an se chance, and whether a man is dark or white, it does not mean he is a better athlete. Kenner Hayes, 53. gm, e A ] ! o. A 951 LA ZDE STARTING OFF IIt's a cold frosty morning, And the fire feels so good; TThe coffee's gently perking, While the stove is stoked with wood. It's mighty hard to start, But we drag ourselves away FFrom the heat of the kitchen As we start our hunting day. He's five o'clock already, With night's darkness hardly gone, BBut there's light enough to see by, And the deer are up at dawn. IFor a second all are wishing That they might be home in bed; IBut the moment quickly passes, And cheer comes in its stead, We are ready for the day, And here comes the sun; The guns are loaded quickly And hunting has begun. Stearns Caswell, '53 a 1951 Dr THE TREE The tree, Nature's gift, so high, Towers upward to the sky; Its age depends upon its rings, Which are peculiar looking things. Its roots are long and round, With no end to them beneath the graund; These roots arc its strength and, in time, Make it stand erect in storm or shine. Its limbs stretch out from every side, And on most trees are large and wide; In evergreens there is no end, And, when winter comes, snow makes them ben The leaves are its source af food, Though they're of many shapes and crude; They protect the birds from summer's wind a rain, And hide the squirrel from the hunter's brain. The tree's a wondrous thing on our great earth; It was here before our forefather's birth; And on a cold aad windy night It burns in the fireplace, warm and bright. Ruel Ordway, '5: kConom 1951 CYCLE OF DREAMS Did you ever, at summer's end, Sleep beneath the maples tall, Dream and think of all the things That go along with the coming of fall? Of children hurrying off to school To study, and learn their lessons well. Of the flocks of birds now flying South To remain there for a tropic spell? Half dreaming, as you look around, You rest your eyes upon the trees And on the leaves of gold and brown That flutter in the autumn breeze. But better stop your dreaming now. To think of still another thing: Of winter that will come and go And the coming of the spring. And as you go to school each day Wishing that spring were here, Take each season as it comes For together they form a year.
