. n. W k OI'L : A scoreboard records more than an athlete's victories and defeats: it records, also, his triumphs and errors in his struggle for seIf-mastery. No athlete is crowned but in the sweat of his brow. Genius does what it must, Talent does what it can. i i i It is not enough to fight. it is the spirit which we bring to the fight that decides the issue. It is morale that wins the victory. i We should recognize that every human errs in some way at 21 some time. 3 No one conquers who does not fight. Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again tomorrow. Sudden glory is the passion which maketh those grimaces called i L iaughter. i i Everything is funny as long as it is happening to someone else. You get what you pay for. 1 We're not disappointed. We came close many times. We'll iust have to get them next time.

Cross C0 1111 try: - R unners F inish Second in MSC Behind Highlanders Realistically, I thought we were the second best team in the Mid- Southern Conference and thatls where we finished, stated first year cross country coach, Mr. Ken Trinkle. The team as a unit improved because their second place finish in the conference is two notches higher than last year's fourth place finish. Junior member of the running squad, Ken Ehringer, was awarded the Most Outstanding Runner Tro- phy. Coach Trinkle added that he was well pleased with the over-all spirit of the team. When it got close to the conference show-down, the team would practice before school. They also purchased orange and blue headgear in order to engender spirit. The Conference Meet was held at Northwood Institute on October 15 and the Dragon runners finished sec- ond behind the Floyd Central High- landers. HA5 for next year, Coach Trinkle continued, we have a lot of poten- tial and we'll be good if the boys keep working and improving. How- ever, F.C., who won the MSC, has everyone back so they will be tough. It all depends on who wants the title the most.
