- J' o Q 3 .49 ' ' - 5 E +' Q' a -W-4 5 'iff THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS IN SCHOGL To be an athlete worthy of name you must have: l. Determination--A resolve that no matter how hard you have to work you are going to make yourself into a real player. 2. Physical fitness--Athletics require the best of physical fitness 5. Mental alertness--Quick thinking. 4. of many 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. breaksn 10. clean. Experience--A real athlete can not be made in a day or a month or a year. Hard work, constant practice, and the experience hard fought games are necessary. All games have rulesg honor and respect them. Do your best alwaysg keep faith with your comrades. Don't lose your temper in defeat. Win modestlyg lose graciously. Remember that athletic contests are games--don't let nbad or defeat ruin your enjoyment. Treat your opponents as friends--play the game hard but Athletics develop the character of youth. However, none of the above characteristics of athletics are sufficient justification for an absolute faith in them. The real inspiration of such faith lies, first, in the fact that if athletics are properly supervised and administered, they serve as a practical course in the develop- ment of the character of youth. The responsibility of representing a school, rather than himself, provides one with a proving ground forothe growth of the best in his character. 0 Second, the individual is trained to overcome obstacles, both internal and external, and to conquer them with the urge of a strong desire to win. all the do this a smile manship mean in as this Charles W. Kennedy in Colle e Athletics once said, nIt is necessary for one to mobilize, at a g ven t me and a given place, skill and intelligence and courage that he possesses, to in the face of the most strenuous oppositiong to do it with and a cool head, to do it in a spirit of chivalrous sports- that will not permit him to stoop to that which is base and order to win. If any system is not very directly serving certainly many of us are in error as education should be in the case of a that furnishes such a training an educational purpose, then to what some of the ends of- growing person.

THE WAR .LN Hl:'lLA'l'lON TU US Are you doing all you can to help win this war? No doubt you would not hesitate to answernYes.n Many people are victims of wish- ful thinkingg many people fool themselves into believing what they wish to believe, Many people do not fully realize what helping to win this war actually means. ' Ygp say that you are investing all the money you can spare in war bonds. Are you sure you are investing as much as you can? How do you compare with the service man who spends part of his salary each month for war bonds? Don't forget also, that this is just a way of investing your money to aid against inflation--that the government will buy war materials anyhow. You really aren't making such a sacrifice after all, you will get your money back after the Ware . Black markets are as dangerous to the welfare of America as fifth columnists. It is, I admit, hard to get along without as much as we have been accustomed to buy, but how much better off we are than the conquered countries in Europe! May we never experi- ence the disaster that has overtaken them. You say you work in a defense plant, are an air-raid warden or a Red Cross worker. Fine! But what have you done to keep up the morale of the soldier boys you know or the boys stationed in your section. Have you invited them into your homes? Have you taken an extra hour of your leisure time to write that cheering, friendly letter? And you defense workers--how many days have you been voluntarily absent from work? If you can afford to loaf, how about taking some of your pay to raise the soldiers' salaries? Do the true, conscientious soldiers have any desire to loaf? Do you realize that every hour you don't work you are jeopardizing, possibly sacrificing the life of some soldier? It might be your husband, your brother, your father. There 1sn't one of us that can afford to shirk, to loaf, to hoard. We can only afford to work, to save, to sacrifice. F. Blake '45 DO YOUR BEST - When a country is at war, our own self-sacrifices, more than anything else, help our boys to win. Each one of us should be will- ing to give up all the luxuries we have enjoyed, no matter how small they may be. The combination of each small sacrifice is the combin- ation that is going to win the war. A great many of our people do not seem to take the war seriously enough to really understand the true facts about rationing. Neither do they understand that if they realinquish some of their buying power now, they will have more to buy later. Rationing is the only method thought of so far that insures an equal distribution of food to each citizen. Some people, however, complain because of the bother of so many books, or because they cannot go into a store and order anything they wish. It is these same people who hoarded sugar for entertaining, who bought cases of can goods before the point system, who use that extra gallon of gasoline for pleasure.
