8 SPORTS SPORTS Football Displaying their usual scrap and ability to “take it” the Red-White football team led by Captain Tom Woodward, finished the season with an envious record of seven wins and one loss. Coach Brick Fowler was greeted in September by ninety candidates reporting for practice, including six letter men. From this promising squad Coach Fowler and Willard Blackney built up a fine varsity squad averaging 165 pounds, and a better-than-average reserve team. The varsity squad, one of the finest in our school’s history, rolled up 153 points to a hard-earned 34 by the opposition. The locals only loss was a heartbreaking scrap to Mount Clemens, ancient rivals and unde- feated Class B state champs. On Friday, December 9, sixteen members of the squad were presented with letters at a noon pep meeting. Those receiving monograms were: Campbell Donaghy Emerich Lambert Woodward Buntrock Smith Murray Isabel McCabe Platzer Hayzlett Young Hayzley Willis Zeulkee, Manager Later the team elected Robert Isabel and Booker Hayzley as Co- Captains to guide their destinies in the 1933 season.

Brick developed from a squad of fine veteran letter win- ners and a group of promising youngsters a team to be proud of. The Red-Whites, led by Co-Captains Dan Smith and Alex Emerich, turned in a fine record of ten wins and six losses. Although the loss of Crawford, Smith and Ling at Midyear Graduation hit the team hard, the vacancies were ably filled and the locals went on into the Regional tournament, the winning of which it narrowly lost by a one point loss to a rejuvenated Royal Oak quintet. This year’s outfit was supported by one of Assistant Coach Blackney’s usual peppy squads of reserves, who gave the varsity plenty of competi- tion in practice and completed a creditable record of their own.

SALUTATORY 7 Salutatory Recognition, happiness, success — they stand outlined like three tall elm trees against an eastern sky when the greyness is slipping away from a spring dawn and the morning sun is sending its first rays over the edge of the world. They tower straight and firm, the three landmarks toward which we instinctively set our footsteps. During the past four years we have met success and failure; we have merited praise and reproach. If during these months we have gathered a few of the fundamentals of living, our time has been well spent. Graduation is not the achievement day that tradition has made it appear. We have not reached the final goal post; we are merely approach- ing the start of a race for which we have been preparing. We have come to the point where we must pause momentarily to make a brief resume of what we have done and to weigh the value of our preliminary achievements. It is for us to determine what we have that is worthy to be taken with us into the future and what will merely encumber us if we do not discard it. At times some of us have failed — miserably and completely. Our whole efforts have been directed along the wrong paths, and the things toward which we should have striven have been lost. But it is not what we have done that matters; those failures are a part of the past. We must turn our minds to the future and make it a success. When the school doors close behind us, they do not terminate the period in which criticism and classification are meted out to us. The rating that our teachers can no longer give us will be replaced by the ready judgment of our fellow men. They, like our teachers, will decide to whom shall go the praise and honors that are th eirs to give and will publish them abroad so that all may know who has made his life worth while. As yet we have done nothing but try to feel out for ourselves the ways of living. Now we are ready to begin our careers, and we must make a good beginning and must have the right aim. The praise of public opinion is sweet to taste, but too much of it is apt to spoil our intellectual impetuosity and to lessen our capacity for the things that have earned praise. Invariably the worth acknowledged by the few is overlooked by the many, but it is the only recognition really deserving of the name. It is for us to go forth to seek that which will make our lives and the lives of those about us richer and fuller. Choose to do what you enjoy, make the doing of it more important than any glory it can bring, and you will travel surely and safely up the road to true recognition, happi- ness, and success.

Mr. Paulson was in charge. The first half of the schedule resulted in a championship for the 1 2A’s, as the older boys eas ily outclassed the others. The second half was all I 1 A, and these boys came through to victory. A feature of the first half schedule was an all star team chosen by Mr. Paulson. These boys played the reserves in a preliminary to a varsity game, taking the scrubs by a one sided score. Much interest has been shown in this intra-mural sport and it is hoped to be as successful in the future as it has been in the past.
