The following students, representing the organization. were selected: Joseph Nolan, president, and John Whiting, business man- ager for the year. Preparations for a football team were begun and thirty- four boys announced their intentions of joining the squad. Hugh Conimar- ford was designated to lead the boys' affairs on the field. After a fairly successful season of football their attention was drawn to basketball. A team was readily organized and selected Charles Fraley as floor monitor. The basketball team proved to be a very well coached one. Its agility and ability under the supervision of Mark Herley was marked. Plenty of opposition was furnished in the Catholic League, comprising some of the best material in the city, but the team rode easily to triumph over these obstacles, winning eight games and losing three in the season's totals. Sweaters and letters were awarded to the players who had put forth such a strong defensive front during the year. Baseball arrived none too early for most of the boys, so the wheel of sport was kept spinning. Practice was begun and the team looks forward to a very successful season, as some good material is already cited in the boys. Mr. George Hart is directing the baseball activities and it is every- one's wish that victory mark their path. No explanation can be given as to its success as the VERITAS at this time is going to press but all indica- tions point to a favorable outcome. HUGH COMM.-XRFORD, '27. 1 One Hundred Thirly-sir

As this healthful pastime has come down from one generation to another and from one country to another, it has undergone numerous changes, in accordance to the changes the modes of living have taken, but the funda- mental principle of all games remains the same and we aim at that principle whether we play the game or not. We are told fascinating stories of the Olympian heroes of over two thousand years ago and of how Greek met Greek in tests of endurance that are almost incomparable. When Rome fell from her pedestal of glory the honor of sportsmanship and the cloak of physical prowess was given to the Norseman, whose ability to endure unflinchingly the hardship of training brought down to us the love of personal achievement and the principle of sportsmanship which it has been the endeavor of St. Theresa Athletic Association to instill deep in the hearts of our players and students. Fielding Il. Yost has said, Sportsmanship is that quality of honor that desires always to be courteous, fair and respectful. It is interpreted in the conduct of players, spectators, coaches and school authorities? Those whose interest our Athletic Association has arrested during the past year can truthfully say that principles of good sportsmanship, loyalty, and honor may be perceived in the conduct of our players, spectators, and coaches. Our teachers are the examples we chose and it is our earnest prayer that we may follow their principles and example of Good Sports- manship throughout our lives. lX4ARGARET KORNMEIER, ,27.
