CO 74 In the minds of many of the public, a high school is not worth the space it takes if it doesn t have a good basket- ball team. At Upland Academy, we do not believe that; however, we wholeheartedly endorse interscholastic bas- ketball for our boys. We had a lot of young boys, and at mid term, we lost a couple of them, but the enthusi- asm which the boys showed this year was something tremendously inspiring. Even though a large port of the fellows were underclassmen, they tackled a tough 17- game schedule, determined to do their best in play and sportsmanship, even against the tight competition of schools much larger in size. God blessed the team, physically and spiritually, and we cannot serve our God effectively unless we are led by Him, There were defeats, of course, but the response of their fellow students gave them the satisfied pleasure of knowing they had served God, their school, and their community well.
