THE EAGLE Q 4 ' Q Z .5 , t, , THE GAME OE LIEE Nigga lliE-just linur letters tn enmprise a word with a greater meaning than all the letters 9, in the world can explain, Lile at its lacst. is a very uncertain thing-and lor each P and every individual lille hnlds a dltlerent meaning. For some, lile's meaning is a . ' id line: hut lnr fathers, life is a great, wunderlul toy, full tml hidden possibilities 7 st-id - l In lW VX' ye e discovered. Whn can deline lile7 No, it is indefinalale-intangible, as it ere-a thing whose trieks and turns we must all drseuver lur ourselves, And yet, we may suggest general rules, which will help everyone to play the game of lille as it shtruld he played. First ul' all, we must lace life squarely. There is a sayinggwfhey onl v the viet-:rv win, whn have lnuvht the lmud lirhtf' Yes. it is true! New matter how hi h , , l-. t- L g i glial we set lnr nurselves, il' we reach that gual thrnugh ignorninious plays, then we have nut luught the grind lightgand the vletnry is vtrid. XVe shnuld set lur nurselves a wnrthf mal, tnward whieh we must alwafs strive. But l ls l thnugh we strive tn win, yet we must remember that viettrry is not the stile aim ul the light. lt's nut the quarry but the chase. not the laurel hut the race. One nl the lnremnst athletic euaehes nl the country, Bn lvlehflillen of Geneva College. has won lame. nut heeause he trains teams to win, but because he trains men. It is a wunderlul example lur all In lnlluw. Let us nut think nnly ol securing a vietnry, which when wnn may IH can little: hut let us strive tu make nurselves true men and wnmen. Anfrther rule lu lnllnw in playing the game nl life is tn keep smiling. YVhich athlete is the more pnpular4the one whn seuwls when trouhle arises or the one whu smiles even in lfll nes ol' adversity? Ella Vxfheeler Vvfilet-x has written a very littrng verse to explain this thought: It is easy enuugh tu he pleasant, Wlxeim lile fluws hy like a sung, But the man worth while is the man wht, will smile Vwfhen everything gives dead wrung. For the test nl the heart is truuhle, l And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises nl earth, ls the smile that shines through tears. ll we enuld unly liulluw this inspiring verse, how much inure pleasant this wnrld would be. ln lille as in fames, nn one admires the underhanded, deceitful player who takes ad- l l- . . vantage ul' all deleets and laults nl' his lellnw players. Let us play a clean, lurward, helping eame. Play it not with the determinatiun tn win, hut with the determination to win lairly ind hnnestly. As in athletics, sn in the game til lile, the seure is kept. Then let us rememher that Vx7hen the game nf lilve is Mer, And the Great Seurekeeper pens yuur name, He writes nut il' yuu won or lust, But how you played the game. -MARGARET M.
