Marie was something of a snob and was liked by neither the girls nor the boys of Colborn, but ncvQytEg1C55,' she was regarded as by far, the best playef in the women's singles this year. Sally Lincoln had won over her apponent only by the greatest of good fortune, for she had not been expected to last the first day out. uStill, if we could only wake her up, she might make an effort.and at least take some of the glory away from Marie,u mused Betty. The next day found the two girls at Sa1ly's home, doing their humble best to nwake her up.H nIt's a shame, Sally, that you have to play Marie. No girl in town can beet her,U remarked Joan, .PBut we'l1 be cheering you just the same,n put in Betty, nCan't you just see Marie posing with that lovely cup, for the cameras?n she added mournfully. nOh, well, after all--it may not be Marie who does the posing,n said Sally. ' After all, it may not,H agreed Joan, as they left.

For these reasons I urge that we train our youth in - sound citizenship and national preparedness, not only in event of possible or probable loss of the League of Nations the Kellog pact and the three-power agreement as internatw ional doctrines and stabilizers, but as a prevention of the recurrence of'the sad political and economicnscandals, as well as rascality that have defamed our Justice and cheated tens of thousands by fraudulent manipulation of public and private moneys. Lastly as a means to teach the youth the f sound principles of honor, true proportion and cautious expansion, that in their observance have made America one of the richest of nations, and that in their violation ' have shaken it to its vary foundations. With such a group of cooperative cititens the prospects for America to enjoy real peace would be im easurably higher and taxes correspondingly lighter. If such a policy of integrity among men and nations were praticed in sons of the major foreign countries, a great advance toward a real world peace built on respect, rather than fear and avaricious politics would be made. Minot Pitts-55.

That afternoon the first part of the game was decidedly in Marie's favor--and no one was surprised. During one of the rest periods, however, Sally happened to look up and caught Joan's eyeq Joan coiled: Never mind, Sally, what could you expect? In the next set Sally suddenly found herself. She electrified the audience by her astonishing plays. The rest of the game was hers! As Betty and Joan hurried up to congratulate her, they saw Sally posing for the newspaper cameras with the Pembrook Cup in her arms. ' . Barbara Higgins '54 il iliillll lil!
