FAME lt was in his First Term of High School that he made the Football Team. He was given a Place on the Varsity and more than once proved his Worth. During the Season he accumulated more Points than any other Player in the City. lt was only a Fumble in the last Quarter of the Most Important Game of the Season which lost The Game for his Team and put it out of the Running. This Record ate into his Heart and engraved Itself There. Then and there he secretly conceived and cherished Ambi- tion for a Perfect Record in Scholarship also. The Marks came easily enough, for he was a Brilliant Boy and he had the Ability to do Good Work if he tried Hard Enough. This came in his Second Year at High School. His Marks were so High that they set a Record which still stands in This School. He then turned to Other Things. The former Achievements incited him to leave an lndelible Mark on the Memory of the School. He would institute Reforms in the School and Champion the Cause of Right. He made Fiery Speeches at Assemblies and regardless of the Opposition insisted that he was Right. This he accomplished in his Third Year, for he was Brilliant and his Arguments carried Conviction. But he still was not satis- fied with his Record. There was still a Desire for More Fame. In his last year at High School he turned towards Literature. The School Paper was filled with his Stories, Poems, Iokes, Edi- torials, and News about the School in general. His Work was exceedingly good and was noted by All the Teachers. He told himself that he Would not be forgotten by the School for a Long Time and he was Well Content .... lt was Four Years later that he returned to the School. Amused by the Remembrances of Youthful Ambition, but not unwilling to taste the Ioys of Fame and Universal Respect, he went forth to seek Acclaim. No one knew him except his Teachers. What, none? But no, one Callow Youth professed to remember him. Wasn't it you, he said, who fumbled the ball in that im- portant Football Game some years ago? Yes, l remember- Something-oh, yes. lt lost the Championship for our Team!
