aaW V 9f'u1 Num i f 4 1 .i K ull PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE ST. PAUL ACADEMY, ST. PAUL, MINN. Vol. XLVIV Friday, February 10 1956 N05 REFLECTIONS Honor Roll ByCA John Erskine once said that man has a moral obligation to be intelligent as mtelhgent as one s endowment permlts Let us examme briefly the term man has allotted to his species in the biological scheme that he has created for living things name ly homo saplens Th1s term means man wise or man dis cernlng The term 1mpl1es both a fact and an ideal The fact 1S that the human bram is nature s great est creation and the ldeal IS that lt be put to work for mans best advantage His brains have created c1v1l1zat1on, the protracted result of the best brains It IS the ldeal 1mpl1cat1on of th1s term that is all too often overlooked or pushed into the background or never ment1on ed Some of us do not deserve to be Cl2SS1fI8d under the species homo sapiens Perhaps homo saps The grlevous fact 1S that many much of the time do not use the brains they were born With, that IS to say they do not take a decent pride 1n keepmg thelr 1nte1l1gence at a cutting edge It 15 bad enough be dull by fate much worse to dull by neglect unpardonable to dull by choice Dullards form obstacle to progress Saplence must have a consclence The sad side of social history IS the fact that superxor brains have so often been directed to explolta tion exploltatlon of the dull by the sharp of the foolish by the wise of the lgnorant by the learned The redeemlng feature IS that by and large the search for truth and the urge to knowledge have been carrled on by men with high ldeals of SOC1al conduct and the common good otherwise col leges and un1vers1t1es would have become training schools for cooks The moral obligation to be 1ntell1 gent implies the obligation to use intelligence morally The betrayal of intelligence suggests a broader problem the decline of c1v1l1zat1on of which the pessimistic see ominous signs Dr Tilney who has spent a llfe t1me Rogers 1n studying the brain, continues to admire that amazlng organ while deplorlng our failure to use it for our own survival He questions whether we are moving forward mentally There IS only one course of progress Let the better brains that are coupled with the nobler motives lead the process1on and let them enlist a great and IIIHU ent1al following Such 1S the demo cratlc ldeal There has arisen the ques t1on as to whether automation will ultimately supersede the human brain Many are already positive, or nearly so that such wlll happen and man s bram w1ll eventually be come vestiglal such as the appen dvc 1S said to be But there remains this truth There 1S a l1m1t to which .1 man can do his thinking by proxy The mechanical brain indeed, may become more eflicient 1n calcula tion but not so in Judgment Facts per se do not necessarlly lead to Judgment Much knowledge has no moral bearing a proposltion in geometry the law of gravity But the commanding fact that the way of l1v1ng we call ClV1llZed depends upon the nght use of that sapience which man s marvelous bram makes posslble cannot be escaped telhgent one wlll get nowhere The endowment can be assumed but 1S not 1n ltself a protect1on But willing alone taking courses read ing 1nsp1rat1onal books IS not sufliclent Resolutions if they are kept help The road to saplence 1S long and arduous but it 1S a royal road To set ones thlllklllg course in line with truth however calls for help We all need maps IH strange countries and they are use ful in fam1l1ar ones It IS a law of life that growth results from exercise Thought power too can be increased by steady and perslstent exercise As literally and as truly as muscular development depends on the exer c1se of the muscles we already pos sess, so does mental development depend on the exercise of the mind already oursl' Flrst Semester 1955 56 Head of

these proved trustworthy At Morning Exercises on January 31st, Mr Read dlscussed the application of this to the field of sports We are all constantly exposed to predlc tions of this sort in the sports section of any newspaper From comparative scores team A IS four hundred points better than team B an AllAmer1can football team IB picked before the season opens Although a winning team IS better on that given day than the team 1 beats sportswrlters cry upset lf the outcome was unforeseen In our own s1tuat1on, due to the 1n ceptlon of the MISL a fierce competitive spirit constantly be sets us A tendency to regard forth coming games, season standlngs and comparative scores has caused us somewhat to m1U1mlZ6 the 1m portance of an individual game, and to regard it less for 1ts own isolated value Too a team should never feel over or underconfident nor expect to win or lose However, a player has the right to feel con fident of himself of his teammates and of the ability of the team In adopting this attltude a player can realize the true value of a slngle game each game IS played as it comes along step by step and generally the team as a whole benefits from this mental approach I'

NOW AND THFN Page 3 SPA Sextet Loses Ground ln League The SPA hockey team lost valu able ground ln MISL COmpetl tlon as Bl ike admlmstered two de feats to the club and Shattucks Les Canadiens knocked them off once Howex er all was not gloomy as the pucksters had the satlsfac tlon of dumping Breck who at that tlme was leadlng the league and appeared destined to be the 56 M I S L hockey champs In the two Blake games the Academy was out fought out played and out scrapped at every turn as the Hxlltoppers won easlly by scores of 5 0 and 6 2 In each case Mlke Hollern was Blake s blg gun as he collected four goals 1n each game The first perlod of the first game was reasonably close as the score stood 0 0 at the whlstle But after that Blake pulled steadxly away At one pomt ln the second game SPA was be hmd only 2 1 and It appeared that there might be a chance for an up set but again Hollern wrapped thlngs up w1th a couple of goals ln the third perlod The Academy counters were scored by Pedersen and Beadle The Breck game was undoubted ly one of the finest games played by an SPA hockey team 1n the past few years as the Academy out fought Hutchinson and Co from the opemng whistle The Acads Jumped to a 1 0 lead early 1n the first perlod on a goal by Dave MacKay The lead was upped to a two goal margan ln the second stanza wlth Frank Ward scoring Breck scored their first goal towards the end of the second pe rlod as the Mustangs began to wake up and start to ser1ously press goalle Tom Mllton for the first txme The third period pro vlded actlon enough even for the most dyed 1n the wool hockey fans as shots h1t the posts tempers Hared and scorlng threats by both teams were folled by the brllllant goal tending of Tom Mllton, and Brecks Bob Brown The Acads lead was mcreased to a two goal margln when Pedersen countered early 1n the period However that lead was qulckly dissipated goals scored by HUtCh1HSOD and Allen Thls set the stage for the final cllmav as MacKav scored h1s second goal of the afternoon there by making himself official hero for the day This goal proved to be Comphments of cr FRIEND IGS' if q -1- F229 ,L Two Down, One To Go' Hilltoppers Halted G ares., 'sm the decldlng margin 1n the game as SPA won 4 3 In a game of th1s sort lt IS urtually 1mpOSS1bl6 to hand out pralse to some wlthout shghtlng others who also played an xmportant part 1n the vxctory but certainly one of the mam fac tors 1n the victory was the sterl1ng defensive exhlbltlon that was put on by goalle Tom Mllton who made several stops borderlng on the 1m possible and by his two defense men Charc and Frank Ward both of whom cleared the puck beautl fully all day and definltely relleved Wheel of much of the burden that was placed on him After the Breck game the squad journeyed down to Shattuck where they lost a utal game to The Wmmpeg Wanderers There was perhaps a trace of over confidence 1n this contest as the club was r1d 1ng on hlgh after the upset over Breck The Shads qulckly d1s proved any susplclons as to the ab1l1ty of then' hockey team as they Jumped to a two goal advantage ln the first perlod The Acads dldnt really recover unt1l the thlrd perlod when they managed to tle lt up 4 4 But ln the last two mm utes of play Ron Barbour scored tw1ce thus pulling the Shads out of danger The final score was 6 4 Pedersen scored two goals MacKay got one and Beadle got one to round out the scorxng of SPA J V Basketball By Grant Nelson The JV Basketball team man aged to w1n only one of thelr last four games Although the Acads looked well at tlmes they were unable to put together two good halves When the JV s are able to master th1s p1oblem they will find the golng much easler Traxelllng to Pillsbury the Acads played thelr best game of the season exen though loslng 36

JV s played good ball at times they were unable to cope with the more powerful Blake team Flustered and hampered by a small court the Acads lost to Breck 40 19 on the opponent s fioor Plavmg Pillsbury tgam the JV s won by a 22 18 score The Acad emy plaved perhxps 1ts best first half of the season wlth the score at halftime readlng 18 12 IH favor of the blueshlrts Although Pllls bury tied the score at 18 18 late 1n the last perlod two quick SPA baskets gate the Acads the vlctory Varslty Basketball By Hal Roach On Tuesday January 17th the Acads lost a close ball game to Blake The game was tled at the end of the half 22 22 From there on It was closely fought untll 1n the last mmute two free throws were made by Blake to break the '39 all tie An intercepted pass net ted them two pomts and from there thev protected their lead and won 43 '39 King Andrews and Tlm Armstrong were high pomt men for the Academy The Acads then lost to Breck by a score of 58 45 The Acads were never close to catchlng Breck after the opening whistle Poor shooting by the Academy enabled Breck to p1le up a substantial margin and when the Acads began to hit 1n the final quarter they could not overcome the deficlt Mlke Arm strong paced the Academy with 1? points followed by King An drews and Tlm Armstrong with 11 apiece On Saturday the 28th the Acads Jourmed to Shattuck only to come out on the short end of a 74 34 score The ma1n difference between the clubs was the Shad s shootlng They hlt 457 from the floor and mlssed only two of twenty four free throws Klng Andrews and Tim Armstrong were hlgh pomt men for the Academy On January 'ilst the Acads lost a tough game to Pillsbury by the score of 45 43 Behlnd by seven points at the half the Academy came back and tied the game at 43 43 with thlrty seconds remam mg The Cadets dropped IH two points and from there protected their slender m xrgm The Academy outshot Pillsbury from the floor 16 to 12 but lost the game at the free throw l1ne, scoring only 11 while the Cadets dropped IH 21 J V Hockey By Bull Blake The Jumor Varsity has lmproved greatly smce the beglnnmg of the season As of now the JV s have a 6 2 record wlth the two losses coming against two strong teams Cretln and Johnson In the Cretm game the JV s were leading 1 0 at the end of the first stanza, but the Cretlnltes came back ln the second period with two quick go 1ls The thlrd period found Cretm scormg another John Roe and Dick Angell were outstanding on defense ln this game The Jumor Acads then ran 1nto Blake and beat them ln their first encounter 20 with Roger Croth recording the
