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.

SUCCESS The manner in which a man spends his leisure moments may terminate in his suc- cess. The enjoyment of good literature is always beneficialg and though many people read for enjoyment, they are constantly ab- sorbing knowledge with it. If a personis leisure time is spent in gaiety, such as Broad- way life, much advantage can be .obtained, so long as this gaiety is practiced in moder- ation. Study can always be found beneficial, but a life of pleasure-seeking may assume harmful proportions if the person does not know where to stop. The value of Education in a man's life is great. For one thing it develops brains. It brings him in contact with world-wide af- fairs. and furnishes an incentive for work, for it is in work. and not in thinking of find- ing constant pleasures that we can have hap- piness. Get your happiness out of your work, or you will never know that work may be a pleasure. Many of the most successful men this world has produced reached their goal without the aid of a good education. Their argument was, and is, a business experienceg but these men are exceptions to the rule. Generally, a good education helps one im- measurably as a preliminary step towards the goal of success. When business experience can be backed up by knowledge obtained from a good educa- tion, the fortunate person that possesses it is sure to realize his ambition. Experience in business gives one a taste of the good and evil in the world and the realization that the full measure of success can be gained only by good hard, earnest work. The young man's resolutions are spurred onward by the great successes he sees flourishing about him. As Carlyle says, A determined young man in poor circumstances has to make the mater- ials with which he must work, and must make the tools alsog thus he has a great advantage over the man born into wealth, who has not much incentive to make a success of himself. If his home life is miserable and not at all harmonious, he is apt to adopt that type of attitude toward all his work. Discord can never be associated with suc- cess. Ultimate contentment comes from a source whence you employ and devote your- self to your own improvement and advance- ment in mind, morals understanding of things and affairs, and in efficient perform- ance of your duties. Youth is the most important period in a man's life. His ideals are formed when he is just approaching manhood. The man who has in him potential power and success shows his attitude by putting his heart and soul in- to his work. Sowing wild oats is not ex- actly necessary, but that depends to a very large extent upon the character of the per- son. Some people need to suffer from a mistake before they will go right. Expensive habits in youth will never make comfortable old age, for extravagance is a sieve that only leaves us the dregs of life. The ambition is at its height in the prime of a man's life, and sometimes a young lady enters into the picture and aids the young man to his success. But the drawback of this is that sometimes it is not the right kind of a girl. Most of our greatest Americans have been born in poverty, and in nine cases out of ten this has been the firm footing with which they have reached the top of the ladder. They have shown that they possessed talent, or the fine points which prevail in men of sterling worth. Abraham Lincoln is a fitting ex- ample of a man who with shining talent over- stepped the stones of disadvantage. Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford are also out- standing examples of talent that overcame ob- stacles of poverty and lack of good education. When a man has been considered successful, he in most cases has amassed much wealth. This alone, however, is significant, although convenient. Is he happy? Has he been a help and an honor to his associates. his coun- try? Has he a happy home, and domestic tranquility, love and good will in his family? After the man has seen his dayg has enjoyed life and living, he maintains, educates and rears his children as useful citizens who will be a pride in his declining years. It is in the home that the future of great nations depend. 'Iihus. when a man has taken inter- est in family life. and thus has raised the standards of the nation, he has come to the acme of his ambition. Youth has the parting wordg for it is youth that plays such an important part of man's career. Evil and failure are self developing: virture and success must be developed. Therefore a well-spent youth is all impor- tant to success. Or in other words, be gay if you are so inclined, but be careful. You don't have to be careful with temperanceg you can't get enough of it!-Frank Namczy Page Twenty-size
