It lives for the people in the world, their failures and successes, their joys and sorrows, their work and play. The people of the world make the news and the news is food and drink to the newspaper. While there are people in the world there will be news. The .paper must be fed a balanced diet of this news or it cannot bring the important things to the attention of the people. The staff must provide this diet, choosing from the neWs only the significant and timely articles. The staff must not ignore the troubles and hope in the world, it must be a concience and a stimulant. The staff must not forget the successes of the individuals, the nation, big or little, The world must remember these things and find inspirationgin them. A newspaper must express the activities and thoughts ofythe readers and the news and editorials, whether it be a national newspaber, a city newspaper, or a school newspaper. ' Only the truth and all the truth must go into print. The staff in providing this diet chooses from the news that its readers make, thus it reflects on its readers. They must be behind the staff. . A newspaper should live for democrary. It must uphold democrary by printing that which democrary stands on, truth, freedom and justice. When these things are lost then it is no longer a newspaper but a means of spreading propaganda. That kind of a newspaper is a discredit to its staff and to those who read it.

SPORTS RECAP OF THE YEAR Stratford. although young in county competition, proved more than a common opponent for the other junior highs of the county. The Cavaliers placed second in county football and basketball competition, and won the softball championship. Stratford started its athletic program the last of Septem her, when the first football varsity practice was announced. Mr. Hulett, the coach, had a turnout of over one hundred and twenty boys. They practiced from five until six-thirty at night mostly in the mud. The team had a very successful season con sidering all of the difiiculties which had to be overcome. The first game of the season saw Stratford winning over T.J., 19- 13, but the game had to be forfeited, and as it turned out later this game cost the Cavaliers the county championship. Then two wins over Madison, and a tie with Swanson ended the season. After the football season, basketball was started, with Mr. Druckenmiller coaching. The young team got off to a shaky start, but gained confidence, and finished with a six-won and four-lost record for the season. Several games were played with junior highs out of the county, where Stratford met some of its toughest opponents. The softball season opened the first of April, when over seventy boys rushed to the baseball field in answer to Coach Druckenmillerls call. The team was cut down to twenty in preparation for their first game. Six games were scheduled, two with each junior high school in the county. Softball seemed the sport for Stratford. The first five games played were won, two over both T.J. and Madison, and from Swanson. Stratford emerged from the softball season, the county Champions. Back in the fall Stratfordts intramural sport played was f0 otball. This saw the 7A, 8A, and 9A winning their respective grade championships. Basketball intramurals were started after we entered the new school. This met with more success than the football intramurals. It was played with single elimination, that is if one game is lost the team is eliminated and .a team had to win all of its games to emerge the grade cham pions. The teams to achieve this feat were 7B7, 8B, and 939. All of Stratfords athletic teams have met with success in the countyts sports program. The Signpost congratulates these . .
