2 THE CHIMES THE GOOD ATHLETE The real athlete is not always the flashy star who per- forms the brilliant catches or the sensational runs. He is the man who plays steadily and plods day by day to master the , ame which he is playing. ''Stars are usually made in a thrilling moment. In football a player intercepts a forward pass and makes a brilliant run of seventy-five yards for a touchdown and wins the game. He is a hero, and, if he is popular, is assured of his position on the team. If he makee- errors in future games, it is said that he had an off df y and he is excused at once. This is not my idea of what a real athlete should be. He should be a good, clean fighter, who . can accept defeat with good grace, and can be victorious with- out being overbearing. Jn the big college games and in t e 'World Series this type of r)layer usually comes through with the play that wins. He plays steadily, but does not attract much attention. Then he suddenly performs a brilliant play and it is said that he is a natural baseball or football player. • This is not always the case. Most of his success is due to keeping himself in good physical condition and practicing steadily and faithfully. The spirit of an athlete usually determines his success or failure. He should have a fighting spirit, but not a quarrel- some one. To play a e-ame most successfully a man should be cool and collected. If a r)itcher loses his temper in a game- he also loses his control of the ball ; and the game is usually lost. On the other hand if a pitcher is cool and unruffled, he steadies the other members of the team and often snatches victory from defeat. A player who has these Qualities is a good athlete whether he is a ''star or just an ordinary plaver. Edgar Hyland, '26.

THE CHIMES 3 A FRIEND What is a friend? First of all a friend must be some one whom you admire and respect ; for a person you look down upon can never be your friend. A friend is one who will stand by you through thick and thin. He is as true in the darkest hour as when fortune smiles on you. When others condemn you for some misdeed, he will stand by you. He will not say you did right, but he will help you to redeem yourself. He is not one to whom you need tell everything. He will trust in you when you cannot give a reason for your actions. He has faith in you when another would demand an explana- tion. But when you do confide in him, he respects your confi- dence. A friend does not proclaim your praises in a loud voice sim- ply to win your favor, but neither will he stand by and hear your name dishonored. He is as loyal when your back is turned as to your face. A friend does not express his sym- pathy for your sorrow in a torrent of well-meaning words, but by soothing hand and kindly eye, comforts you more than mere words can ever do. He does for you the many little things that no one but a friend would ever think of doing, he Knows your good and bad points and does not feel hurt or offended at your sudden outburst of temper or changing moods. He is willing to help you though it means a sacrifice on his part. A friend is one to whom you can go in sorrow or discouragement and find solace and comfort. Nor does his friendship end with death. He is the one who years afterwards sheds a tear on your grave when all others have forgotten you. A real friend is one of the most priceless things in the world, but to have a friend you must be a friend. Helen Healy, '26. A BRIEF HISTORY OF OLD IRONSIDES The frigate Comtitution, affectionately known as Old Iron- sides, is the most famous ship in American history. She was a 44-gun frigate, built in 1794 and launched September 20, 1797. Her record is one of victory from beginning to end. In every battle she was victorious and her fame still lives. As the flag-ship of Commodore Preble, the Constitut'on took part in the bombardment of Tripoli. She became really famous in the War of 1812. Her most famous battle was with the English ship, Gueri- ere. Dacres, commander of the Gueriere, had issued a chal- lenge stating that he would take on any American ship, and was convinced that he could beat and capture it.
