Football The close of the 1936 football season saw only the loss of three veterans and everyone was predicting the big things for the team of 1937. But no one knew the unforseen things held in store for the 1937 season. When fall rolled around Coach Jordan found himself with only one veteran backiield man. In reconstructing the backheld he was forced to weaken his line with green material. With very little time lie whipped the team into shape to send it into the 1937 season. Mr. Jordan deserves much credit for the zeal and spunk he showed in going ahead in face of such conditions.

44 WINTHROI' XVINNER was given us by God and it should not be taken until he desires it. The United States is large enough to hold all her inhabitants, unlike the coun- tries of the East. Of course, some of our larger cities are crowded but there are always the 'K wide open spaces U to which our people can go. In the Eastern countries only a very small amount of land is allowed each family, this is usually not nearly half enough for its actual needs. Under these circumstances they cannot possibly have the high standard of living as the Americans have. People of these coun- tries are driven around like cattle, espe- cially in Russia where even the farmers' goods are taken by the government. None of the inhabitants of these coun- tries are as a whole peace-loving people as they are in the United States. It is therefore hoped by every Ameri- can Citizen, excepting those who are help financially by war, that the United State will continue to take no active part in the warfare of these crowded, war- loving people. To the United State the life of her citizens and the desire to keep her nation as it is, is more important than spending millions in warfare when it can be used to a good advantage right here in our own country. Flora Richards, '38 Senior Girls There are some queer girls in this class I must say, To begin with there's Anita with her smiling easy way. T here's Rachel with her happy-go-lucky grin, And Helen D. with powder all over her chin. There's Alida who always takes a dare, And class who every morning says a prayer. There's Florence who was never known to swear, And Lottie who is bound to get her fin- 'gers in her hair. There's Mae who hasn't grown very tall, And Virginia who is forever dancing in the hall. There's Rosa with a smile that will never wear out, And Helen S. who was never known to pout. There's Annie and Margret bothquiet as mice, And Katherine who always acts very nice. There's Flora who often takes a walk, And Stella who doesn't like to talk. There are several other things I could say, But I guess I'd better close for the day. Elsie Bates, '38
