Both are paid for by the workman's salary. In our school our basketball squad is trained in a first-class fashion with graciousness and a smile by a self-sacrificing man whose love for youth causes him to sacrifice evenings at home to work up teams of boys to play a good, decent, clean game. Frequently when the going is hard and the boys are about down and out, Coach Haller makes a speech that gives pep and vigor to go out and fight harder than ever. To him winning is not all-important. Good sportsmen must do their very best and if they lose they must lose manfully and then begin all over again. A season of defeat is only the cloud that conceals the silver lining of a succeeding year of victory. The example of Coach Haller does us as much good as his training and teaching. He is a real man and an excellent Catho- lic. We want to be like him in later years. We cannot express ample gratitude for all that Coach Haller has done for our school over a period of years and is still doing with boundless generosity and kindness. May our dear Lord love and bless him and his good family for many future years. Francis Sullivan '48
