A WINTER NIGHT Who would not care to stroll with me Some brilliant winter night, With moon and stars for company? What pleasure and delight! The moon we'd see in splendid state, And watch him journey far, The master of that heavenly sphere And guardian of each star. The bitter wind could chill us not, Nor lead our thoughts astray, Few earthly sights can equal this- For Beauty here holds sway. -Anna F. Curtin SPORITS During the five years that Coach Darling has been in Rye Neck he has had a splendid record. ,Of the three sports, basketball was his best because he did not have sufiicient material for football or baseball. He made this year's basketball team one of the best which he ever produced. The team won half of the games and would have won many others only for the loss of their Captain. The lineup is as follows: Auleta, Forward Furuya, Forward Carroll, Guard, Captain Nichols, Guard Hare, Center Substitutes: Perriconi, Gunn, Spuehler, Lawrence. We won our first baseball game from Har- rison by the score of seven to six. This game had much significance, for it was the first game any team ever played under Coach Sherwood's supervision. It was also the first victory for Rye Neck in two years. Waverly was the next victim of Rye Neck's attack, losing by the score of eleven to ten. Spuehler and Furuya each obtained two extra base hits in this game. After getting off to such a good start. Rye Neck lost three games, being defeated by Rye, Scarsdale, and Brunswick. We had a four run lead in the first three innings but lost out because of many costly errors. The return game with Rye, was won by Rye Neck on Tuesday, May 29th at the Y. M. C. A. athletic field. This was one of the best games they ever played because there were few errors made. John Camp- bell made a two base hit in this game with three on base. The score ended in Rye Neck's favor eleven to six. Much credit must be given to Coach Sherwood for making a winning team. It ended the season with a percentage of five- hundred, winning three and losing three. This percentage has not been exceeded for many years past. The lineup is as follows: Gunn P. Furuya C.

THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS ' Money is a great factor in this world. We all admit it. But it requires more than that to make one successful in this country. Now, it appears that when one attains a certain position and receives for his services a large amount of money, and advances rapidly be- cause of it, almost everyone says, He is a success l Truly, is this the measure of success? It should not be. The dictionary defines success as the prosperous termination of any enterprise. But no success is really analyzed by the amount that one accomplishes in a life time. Poverty is not a hinderance to genuine suc- cess. Some of the bravest, finest and truest patriots and citizens were poorg but al- though they were poor, when their feet rested upon the first step in the ladder of ambition as they ascended to the topmost step their success far overwhelmed their needs. This is seen in the case of Henry Ford who is to-- day one of America's leading citizens. When he started his inventions with S2,000, he asked his wife whether she wished a new home or the success of his invention. She readilv replied that his invention should go on. To-day do we consider Mr. Ford a suc- cess because of his millions or because of his automobiles? It is the vehicle that bears his name. Success is secured not only in large cities but is found everywhere.. if one is really seek- ing it. There are farmers in the western half of our states who have never visited the largest cities of the world, but still these in- dustrious men have made themselves success- ful. Thev remained at home, cultivated their crops and exhibited their greatest energy for success. Sure-lv these men should be termed successful. Does not our very existence de- pend upon them? Whv did Abraham Lincoln become a suc- cessful lawver and president of the United States? How did he guide this nation through such a terrible conflict? Certainly. there is no one who can possibly say that it was his wealth that placed him in these posi- tions. Abe's iron will and honest determi- nation to make himself amount to something was the reason. There was at one time in the history of our countrv a struggling young man, doing his utmost to place the finances of a new country upon a sound basis. The American Revolu- tion left us peace, freedom and debt. The freedom and peace everyone enjoyed, but the debt was discouraging. At once Alexander Hamilton determined to provide a source of revenue and to establish credit for our govern- ment. As Daniel Webster said many years later of Hamilton, He smote the rock of the national resources and abundant streams of revenue gushed forth, and then Webster ad- ded, He touched the dead corpse of the public credit and it sprang upon its feet. Hamilton labored many days on his plans without success, but finally he proposed an excise tax on liquors and a tariff levied on all imported goods. This provided revenue.. The assumption of state debts joined the states together. and lastly Mr. Hamilton founded the United States Bank. T'his placed us on a firm basis with other nations. Yet, Alexander Hamilton could not possibly have accomplished this except for the implicit faith and confidence that the young govern- ment placed in the brilliant statesman. His success was due mainly to his perseverance. But everyone can be successful. Educa- tion is not a required factor but it helps. The best way to be successful is to be the best of whatever you are. So now, the only man- ner in which we consider anyone successful is to have him pass this test. Does he meas- ure up to 100 per cent. citizenship? Is he loyal to his country, family, faith and work? Does he do his best? That is the most im- portant question in the whole test. Now, we conclude that the man, who does his best re- gardless of whether he is a farmer. states- man, president or millionaire is a successful man, for Heaven helps those who help them- selves. -Natalie Cooper HEARD IN A RETORT Teacher: What does Sb stand for?
