8 THE EAGLE what of some person who may be look- ing to you as a pattern by which to plan his own life? He respects and admires youg he thinks that anything you do must be perfectly proper. That person may follow your example by doing just one little indiscreet thing and may suffer for the rest of his life because his will power was not sufficient to resist the temptation. In our present society it is impossible to think in terms of I. We may feel that no one notices what we do and that no one cares where We go or when. But all unknown to us, there may be a small pair of interested eyes watching our every move and motion, a pair of attentive ears that take in every word we say, a keen brain that marks our every deed, done well or otherwise. We cannot af- ford to take the chance. We must live every moment so that if we are being watched there will be no question of our proving a stumbling block in anyone else's path. We would not like to feel that We were the cause by which some- one's whole life was completely ruined and yet it takes deliberate thought and consideration to avoid such a catastrophe. If a thing is questionable, it is better undone. In comparison to the wreck of a human life one small pleasure denied one's self will appear minute and insig- nificant. Make a practice of believing what you profess to believe and doing what you say ought to be done, lest ideals crumple and be reduced to pulp by your carelessness. 'Let your light so shine before men that there will be no question in the minds of those who may be look- ing to you, as to what is right or wrong. Be responsible for another's success, not his ruin. If you merely perform the service of a stepping stone for some one else's fame, you will have performed a better duty than if you played stepping stone to some one's infamy. Remember that you do not live unto yourself alone for one moment of the day, and govern yourself accordingly: Let your light so shine before men . . . WHY GO OUT FOR SPORTS? By G. M., '33 GOING out for athletics is one of the most helpful extra-curricular ac- tivities in a high-school career. It is a great asset in building a sound body. The body is nearly covered with muscles, not only to give us strength but to protect the different parts of the body also. In the various sports all of these muscles are exercised and therefore strengthened. This is especially helpful during the high-school age because then the body should be growing and the muscles need plenty of exercise. Sports not only help to make a sound body, but help to make a sound mind as well. Participation in athletics teaches responsibility - responsibility to one's team mates and one's school. An athlete learns to control his fear, his hatred, his jealousy, and his rashness. As quoted from Knute Rockne, Football brings out the best there is in every boy. The same could be applied to all sports. 'If a person goes out for sports and per- sists until he succeeds in getting on a team, it will show him that no matter what he does in life there must be many hours of drudgery spent on it before one can perfect it. Sports will teach him to settle down and learn to do one thing well before he tries something else. Students should go out for sports be- cause they advertise the school, and if they are carried on the way they should be it will give the institution a good repu- tation. If a person does go out for sports he should keep this in mind and carry on the contest with true sportsman-like conduct. If a team does not act on this principle it will be known in many com- peting schools and they will not want to play with that team. It might not hurt the individual player but it will hurt the name of the school. Sports also teach a student to control his emotions, that is, they train him to perform before an audience without being excited or feeling nervous. If a student has participated in a few athletic contests that excited feeling will leave him and he will not think of the people watch- ing but will think of the game only. This is a great help in later life because at some time he will surely be .called on to appear before an audience and that experience he got in sports will be ap- preciated. A person runs a chance ,of getting injured while participating in the different contests, but in most cases the value of the training is great enough to offset this possibility.

Seniors CHARLOTTE ROSE ADAMS Always smiling, even tho' the heavens may fall. English Course5Eagte Boardg Basketball, 45 Field Hockey, 45 Chorus, 2, 3, 45 Glee Club, 45 Class Play, 35 Home Economics Club, 3, 45 Politics Club, 45 Public Speaking, 4. Charlie is the best-natured, most carefree girl in the class-eyes gleaming with merriment, lips parted in a wide, impish grin. It is a joy to be with her because she is al- ways so happy. When a rare frown hovers on Charlie's brow she is trying to puzzle out an arithmetic problem. Your sweet disposition will bring you the bluebird, Happiness. DOROTHY MARIE BARABY A winning way, a pleasant smile, and a helping hand for things worthwhile. Classical Course5 P. G.

Tall, slim, and fair- Dot, the gay and cheerful. Her favorite pastime is Hbreezing along, singing a song. Basketball is her favorite sport and French her favorite subject. Dot would like to be a music teacher and say, wouldn't we like to have Dot teach us our do, re, me's! VVILLARD STREETER BASS, Jr. I am the Master of my fate, I am the Captain of my soul.

Streeter is one of the model gentlemen of the school. Some may say that Streeter is slow, but slow in Streeter's case means sure. He is always ready to argue. Let us drop you a hint-unless you are fairly sure of your subject don't dispute Streeter, because he is sure to get the best of you in the end. BEULAH ANNIE BUZZELL Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. English Course5 Basketball, 2, 3, 45 Track, 25 Class Play, 25 Merit Letter, 35 Treasurer Home Economics Club, 35 Chorus, 45 Operetta, 3. Buzzie's dimples are the envy of many of the girls. With her pleasant smile, jovial manner, and manly stride, she is a friend of all. Her ability as center in Basketball has helped win many a game for Wilton Academy. Buzzie is full of plucky spirit as was especially shown once when a heavyweight landed on her in a basketball contest. Home Economics seems to agree with Beulah and we know that success in this field can be achieved in later life.
