N EW S E NIO RS GLADYS EPPS RAYMOND MUETHER Howdy! Yes, the New Seniors have come to claim their modest space, and to immortalize themselves on the pages of the ' 'Lifef' We were handicapped at the start because of our late organization, but we are working hard to make the remain- der of the term a successful one. At our first meeting we elected the officers of the class. Fred Hagemann, a hard working 'E' ' earning member is the president. E's aren't his only specialty, however, for he is prominent in Track and Basket- ball and is a member of both teams. Har- din Smith, another aspiring youth, was elected treasurer. He, too, possesses un- usual intellectual ability, and he is not afraid to use it. That we trust him, is shown by the fact that we allow him to care for the enormous sum of money coming as dues from our class. But don't think that the boys Walked away with all the honors, for it was only by the tender mercies of the girls that the boys were elected, since the girls hold the majority. They chose well, however, for the young lady is not only clever and witty, but not bad to look upon. By this time you must have guessed who she is, for it could be none other than Elizabeth Davis, who was chosen as Secretary. Of course, we, as Life Correspondents cannot proclaim our own merits, but, just the same, we have our own opinions and so will leave the matter to you. Don't think that we elected officers and then retired, for we didn't. The Seniors called upon us to carry out their color scheme of Green and White on Color Day-- we mean the white effect, of course, not the green. We haven't any parties to tell about in this issue of the Life, but maybe it's a good thing. If the boys knew how many girls there are, they might not come. However, our first party is to be ultra- exclusive, and the social event of the sea- son, and is to be for New Seniors only. Our second is to be a Joint Party. This is always looked forward to expectantly, as it draws the two classes together and pro- motes a closer bond of fellowship. This is our last party before We become full fledged Seniors, SO WATCH US COME. 41,3 M KSREEEQU ,qfgf ',,5m'.p f ' as E ., ' :Bragg E 5T?i gf x!x'lJ G'GCZ9 4 Page Scventy-Four

Minds and souls receive a last- ing impression. For surely, we who believe in immortal- ity must believe that great souls Ngo marching on . May we hope that soul had taken up its abode in the halls of Yeat- man and that its influence may last in the hearts of Yeatmanites? Surely we may believe that this is not an idle wish, for his ideals still live for us. They are ours to live by. In Mr. Butler's office, we find a picture of James E. Yeatman. Under it are in- scribed these lines, E'en as he trod that day to God, So walked he from his birth, ln gentleness and simpleness, And honor and clean mirth. Here was a man of gentleness and sim- plicity, imbued with that shining thing, honor, and last, that human quality, the ability to enjoy and participate in Mclean mirth . Can we not see him with his own children on his knee? Can we not visual- ize this man in the hearty enjoyment of some childish prank? Why surely, for in his humanity lies his power. And we stu- dents of Yeatman High School who hear his name, have received the heritage of his ideals, for surely his spirit, in the God to whom he went, dwells all about us.fK. E. ak :if PLAYING THE GAME. Recently, in looking over some old books, we came across the phrase, HNot to win, but to play the game. Very often abstract thoughts sound well, and may be conjured up into a lot of flashy rhetoric, but this thought really carries with it just good common sense, and also the touch of spirituality which lifts things up out of the -commonplace. ,gtg i 1 z L If everybody would really play the game , wouldn't it be a pretty good, little, old world, after all? Of course, we are all in school, and naturally our outlook is bounded pretty much by the four walls of Yeatman. We wonder if there aren't a good many of us who are not really playing the game for just the sheer sport of it. There are so many ways of being good sports. We wonder if keeping up to a cer- tain standard of scholarship isn't a pretty essential part of Hplaying the game . So it goes. Of course, our athletics have the idea of winning when they're playing, but you know welve all heard Mr. Hill stand up and say that the boys will put up a good fight. He seldom emphasizes either the winning or losing, but he does emphasize the game! We can learn another thing from ath- letics. The athletes, in whatever branch of sport it may be, seem to support their leaders, the coach and the captain. This being able and willing to follow is absolute- ly an essential part of playing and winning too. After one gets out into the business world, one finds that one must be able to comply with directions and follow the rules of the game. Then for the touch of spirituality of which we spoke. W e're all looking for happiness in one way or another. It is not going to be found in a search for just one thing or in a particular achievement. With our eyes all the time on a distant goal we're going to miss the fun on the way. Our eyes will be dazzled with the sun of what we hope to achieve, and all the pleas- ant little things along the way we will over- look entirely. But just suppose we look at life as sport, not quite as Pollyanna did in her sickeningly sweet glad game , putting little troubles in their relative places, for- getting them and going on with the game. Why don't we? lt's a heap of fun and we'll never be bored for welll be too busy playing the game.-K. Fl. Fa ya' Srqfzztgv- Threw

BASEBALL By LEOPOLD HARDING The middle of March found some thirty- five candidates for the team hard at work under the eagle eye of Coach Hill. Be- cause of the cold weather, practice sessions were held in the gymnasiums. This includ- ed bunting practice, fielding, and pitching. As the weather became warmer, suits were issued and practice was removed to the campus because no grounds was available at the Fairgrounds. Shortly after, how- ever, the use of Grounds Five was obtained and practice started in real earnest. Six letter men: Schurr, Cianciola, Yeck, Engler, Stremmel and Albrecht, are back to form the nucleus of this yearys team. Stremmel and Albrecht, last year's battery, are sure to perform much better than they did last year. Schurr will undoubtedly hold down second, while Yeck will cavort around first. Cianciola will be seen in right field and Engler will under-stu dy Stremmel or patrol one of the outer gardens Valuable material is found in some of last year's subs. Among the new candi- dates, Harding, Blankenmeister, Leach and Mason stand out among the subs. Haeus- er, Lochmoeller, Farrell, Winkleman and Hannibal are the best of the newcomers. Williams is a fairly good fielder, and if he improves his stickwork, he may show some- thing. On Tuesday, March 28, Yeatman met Eden Seminary in her first practice con- test. It ended with a knotted count, 6-6, when the game was called. Engler's fine pitching was the outstanding feature. He struck out seven Edenites in three innings. The Yeatman fellows were right there with their trusty bludgeons, hitting the Eden pitchers freely, but not bunching their hits. In her next practice game, Yeatman de- feated Ranken 14-0 in an abbreviated' con- test. The Ranken pitchers were batted freely and the scorer suffered writer's cramp from marking down the hits and runs. Harding, Yeck and Albrecht were the leading hitters. With the bases filled, Harding caught hold of a straight one and cleared the bags with a triple over the right fielderis head. Stremmel and Engler held the Ranken stickers in check. Loyola Hall was the next victim to fall before the powerful attack of the team. The score was 12-5 with Yeatman on the long end In the first inning we hopped off with a three-run lead. This seemed sufiicent the way Stremmel was pitching. When Eng- ler, who was off color that day, went in, Loyola scored five runs. However, this did not affect the stouthearted Yeatmanites. In the sixth inning, which proved to be the last, runs were pushed across the plate. Eight of these came after two men were out. As the opening day of the regular season approaches, it seems that these men will compose the line-up: At first base Fat Yeck will be seen. 'fFat ' is a heavy hitter and covers more ground than one would think he could for a fellow his size. He can take a turn on the mound if the necessity comes. He can also catch and play the outfield. Shorty Schurr will play second. Shorty is a good fielder and his hitting has greatly improved over that of last year. He is a good lead off man, for he is small and coaxes walks from the pitchers. HMickey Farrell will play short. Far- rell is a good fielder and is fairly good with the stick. He is being closely pressed by Schacht for the infield berth. 'Duke' Lochmoeller will hold down third. Duke is a heavy hitter and a good Page Sttwzfy-Fi:'e
