Olumpic de a is ijmpic “The important thing in the Olympics is not winning, but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering, hut fighting well.” Baron de Coubertin 3LJ EDiCATiNG YOUR LIFE to the training of youth is certainly a won- derful contrihntion. There are few vocations more important than the training of tomorrow’s citizens— the pastors, the parents, the poli- ticians, the doctors, the nurses, the educators and the future leaders of onr country. Mr. Robert L. Kilhourne has served our school for twelve years as head coach of basketball. During this time he has also directed physical education at the elementary schools of the city. Surely many students have been greatly influenced by his out- standing character, his standards, and his ideals. Mr. Kilhourne teaches true sportsmanship. He stresses not only the importance of fighting hard, hut also the value of playing honest ball. He promotes teamwork rather than individuality. He not only trains boys in basketball, but also teaches the really important things, the lessons and niceties that will aid them through their lifetime. In teaching sportsmanship and teamwork, he is helping to round the character of citizens to be— an important factor in the future success of our people, our nation, and the world of tomorrow. four
