Freshmen.<br />
Bringing to onlookers fear and dismay,<br />
Up High School steps one September day,<br />
Crowded a troop of one hundred or more<br />
Assaulted the gateway and rushed thru the door,<br />
Seized the rooms whence the Sophmores had fled,<br />
Crazed by fear from reports they had read<br />
Of the prowess and daring of Freshman hand,<br />
Who were known by hearsay thru out the land.<br />
During the year '08 they held full sway<br />
And came out victor in many a fray,<br />
To only one.man did they yield their vast realm,<br />
To 0. A. Rawlins—the man at the helm.<br />
Sophomores.<br />
In 1909 they conquered once more,<br />
The Sophs, who had been the Freshmen of yore.<br />
They drove them forth from 1 and from 8<br />
And reigned in their Stronghold in glory and state.<br />
They vanquished Caesar without turning a hair<br />
And by Geometry, proved a circle a square.<br />
Juniors.<br />
Next year they advanced way up to Room 3,<br />
The home of the brave and fearless Miss T.<br />
This year they shone forth in an endless variety,<br />
Of debates, athletics and debuts in Society.<br />
The Junior-Senior debate was an event of glory.<br />
Of course our defeat Deed not come in the storv.<br />
Senior Glass History.<br />
The Junior class play was the sort that enthralls,<br />
And the cast wore their shoes out, responding to calls.<br />
Our orators could draw tears from a stone,<br />
And send Burke's shade skulking back to his tomb.<br />
Seniors.<br />
The year 1912 1 need not recall<br />
For its record of glory is known to you all,<br />
We shone in the class room and elsewhere' tis seen<br />
For to football we furnished the strength of the team.<br />
We could read six pages of Latin a leap,<br />
Say "to be or, not to be" in our sweet sleep,<br />
We could debate like Demosthenes<br />
Grasp Shakespear like bumblee-bees,<br />
Discuss Deuteronomy<br />
Then talk Astronomy<br />
Write books on theology<br />
Teach etymology.<br />
Our report cards abounded in G's and in E's.<br />
But scarcely recognized a long line of P's.<br />
So I might go on to tell of our history<br />
Abounding in deeds of courage and bravery<br />
But I'll refrain for the sake of those under us<br />
AVho might be discouraged, attempting to follow thus.<br />

JUNIORS
SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY.<br />
It is often easier to make a name than to keep it. So<br />
it was with, some misgiving' that we entered school at the<br />
beginning of our Sophomore year with the burden of our<br />
Freshman record upon us.<br />
Perhaps you have forgotten that it was those Freshmen<br />
of '10-'11 who put on that theatrical success, "A<br />
Mouse Tragedy," who in fact made good from the very<br />
first. Indeed, the first time we entered the assembly room<br />
in a body, we so impressed the old students by our very<br />
appearance that they vigorously applauded. It was not<br />
Long until our exceptional brilliance and earnestness had<br />
made their mark with the faculty; and 'for underclassmen<br />
we did unusually well in athletic work, captaining the<br />
champion basketball team and furnishing the football<br />
team of '11 several valuable men. Freshman class spirit<br />
ran high and every social event we gave, was, in truth, a<br />
bowling success. As a result of our class play—perhaps<br />
the crowning feature of our first year—we presented our<br />
school with a practical addition to the reference library.<br />
During our Sophomore year we have outdone our<br />
former splendid selves. We have developed our individualities,<br />
we have really surpassed (as our instructor lias repeatedly<br />
told us) all original Caesarian translations;<br />
aside from Learning the good old axioms<br />
—such as: "All horses are quadrupeds but ail<br />
quaarupeas are not horses; ' various new and<br />
neretotore unneara oi geometrical theories have<br />
been propounued by us; and most ol us use simplified<br />
spelling. You may be sure all tnese distinctive qualities<br />
are appreciated in a school like the K. H. S., and 1 shall<br />
refrain from telling you (as it would not be in accordance<br />
with our modesty; just wnat our returns for these are,<br />
as viewed through the little squares ot cardboard handed<br />
us quarterly. The athletic record ot this school during<br />
tne past year has attracted a great deal of notice, and you<br />
must know that some of the heroes were of the class of<br />
'14; if you have passed through our "subs" during the<br />
winter, undoubtedly you have observed them made gorgeous<br />
by numerous of the beautiful "K" sweaters. Our<br />
efforts in art and oratory have not been unrewarded; every<br />
month the covet" page of one of the foremost High<br />
School publications in our State is designed by an aspiring<br />
young artist from our midst, and one of our boys was<br />
chosen to represent the K. II. S. in the Interscholastic Debate.<br />
We desire not to inform you tediously with many<br />
us, as the class of 1914 of the K. II. S.. that when the<br />
words, but rather to arouse you briefly to an interest in<br />
time comes when we shall assume the responsibility of eding<br />
"The Tiger" or publishing a '14 annual, we may enjoy<br />
your enthusiasm and support.<br />

SOPHOMORES
FRESHMEN.<br />
About the year of our Lord nineteen eleven an unusual<br />
event took place, the arrival of one hundred sixteen<br />
energetic freshmen. It gave the teachers of freshmen<br />
studies a new problem to solve, presented the upper?classmen<br />
with a fresh store of fun and some who like to<br />
taunt said it made the ceiling fall.<br />
The social room was transformed as if by magic into<br />
a study hall; chapel was abandoned, and no entertainments<br />
were held until another "sky" was hung.<br />
Like the Pied Piper's Rats the Freshman class is<br />
made up of many sizes, kinds and descriptions. There<br />
arc long ones, short ones, wide ones and mixtures. Then<br />
there are jolly, sad, affectionate, angelic and decorated<br />
faces set upon the shoulders of clowns, philosophers, orators,<br />
mathematicians and musicians. Evidently this particular<br />
Freshman class needs a place in history, the Bronx<br />
Zoo or the Field Museum.<br />
Comedians may be found also. A troupe led by the<br />
unsurpassed humorists Sir Elwyne Moore and Hon. Chester<br />
Bradbury gives daily performances in various class<br />
rooms, always provoking laughter. Sometimes members<br />
of the company act in such an enthusiastic manner that<br />
they are forced to retire to the office or outside the door<br />
for a rest.<br />
During the Art Exhibit the freshmen gave a dramatization<br />
of the quarrel scene from the Iliad as a program for<br />
one evening. The participants looked very picturesque,<br />
some being attired in table covers, piano scarfs, sheets,<br />
paper helmets and shields. One young man appeared in<br />
tights.<br />
Class Officers: Gladys Jones. Pres., Lawrence O'Con<br />

DEBATE AT PRINCETON<br />
Every year since the Knox Interscholastic Debating<br />
League was established, <strong>Kewanee</strong> has journeyed to Princeton<br />
and brought home a victory. This year was no exception.<br />
We went to Princeton on April 15th with no expectation<br />
beyond that of winning and placing our school<br />
among the leaders of the platform, and we did.<br />
Ever since the teams were organized in January, no<br />
doubt remained. We were going to w T ton. The next point proved by <strong>Kewanee</strong> was that the<br />
United States would suffer greatly. This was done in a<br />
logical and effective manner by Harold Szold. ..Morris<br />
Remsberg, who was the leader of the winning Princeton<br />
affirmative team last year, concluded the constructive<br />
argument for the Blue and Gray. The brilliant Hankins<br />
finished the upbuilding argument for <strong>Kewanee</strong> by proving<br />
in. No false con- that;the inhabitants of Canada would suffer.<br />
fidence, you understand, but absolute assurance. So when In the rebuttals the wearers of the Orange and Black<br />
we started for Princeton to defend the negative of the had a decided advantage over their opponents. Hunt re-<br />
question, "Resolved, that the ratification of the recently futed points in his easy and fluent way. Szold made the<br />
proposed Reciprocity treaty between the United States best showing of his career, and Hankins proved more than<br />
and Canada would have been for the best interests of both equal to the occasion in his excellent rebuttal. The Ke-<br />
countries" we were confident of winning.<br />
wanee rebuttals could easily have borne comparison with<br />

Edward Gorman continued the debate for Princetawa, and Professors Conger and Raub of Knox College.

DEBATE AT KEWANEE.<br />
The contest on our home platform was preceded by<br />
delightful selections of the K. H. S. Glee Club which stirred<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> spirit. Mr. Love serving as chairman introduced<br />
the topic for discussion and laid stress on the<br />
importance of debate work in high school.<br />
Leroy Demerath, the first debater, confidently affirmed<br />
the necessity of Reciprocity. His opponent,vMiles Bryant<br />
saw profit for neither American nor Canadian producer<br />
but positive injury to the former. Harold Mott pursued<br />
the argument of benefit to Canada. Roswell Magill spoke<br />
from the consumers' standpoint maintaining that the consumers<br />
of neither country would gain any advantage in<br />
Reciprocity. William Sandford in <strong>Kewanee</strong>'s third speech<br />
upheld the positive benefits which would accrue to the<br />
United States while Raymond Pierson in closing for<br />
Princeton turned these advantages in favor of the trusts.<br />
The rebuttal speeches proved even more interesting<br />
and called forth no little ingenious argumentation in<br />
which our <strong>Kewanee</strong> speakers, if applause be any index,<br />
proved superior. A chief object in debate is to acquire<br />
ready mastery of a situation. This our boys evidenced<br />
supremely well. Their arguments were sound. Princeton's<br />
victory was well deserved because of their polished<br />
delivery. Their opening speeches were well mastered;<br />
were finished works of platform art.<br />
The house agreed with the decision of the Judges—<br />
three in favor of the negative—and nothing less than the<br />
telephone consolation of our victory at Princeton could<br />

won first and Monmouth second.<br />
May 12 K. II. S. played the host to the High Schools<br />
of the "Big 8" and welcomed to our Auditorium seven<br />
ambitious orators. Never has there been held in our city<br />
a contest (provoking more wide spread interest or calling<br />
for the more rigorous efforts of the trticipants. The<br />
orations were above the average in thought and delivery<br />
shown by a number of the boys was remarkable. Hutenbeck<br />
of Davenport easily carried off first honors with his<br />
•'Federation of the World." Dud lev of Canton took second,<br />
close pressed by Magill of Princeton.<br />
Our speaker Wm. P. Sandford tied for second in<br />
thought and composition, though only a Sophomore. What<br />
the next two years may do in strengthening his delivery<br />
is awaited by many loyal supporters.

The Tiger this year was undoubtedly a success from<br />
all points of view. When the first Tiger was issued in December.<br />
1910, it was a rather uncertain quantity, but now<br />
after passing itsksecond year of successful publication, it<br />
has become an essential and prominent feature of<br />
high school life.<br />
Last year a high school magazine was more of an<br />
experiment than any thing else. The question was:<br />
whether the students would support it, financially and<br />
morally, and whether the merchants and towns people<br />
would lend their aid, in order to make it a success. While<br />
the Tiger last year was not a howling success, or did not<br />
set the world afire, yet it gave us the start and impetus<br />
for a successful year.<br />
This year we surpassed all expectations. We put out a<br />
cheaper and better magazine, full of good live material.<br />
Of course.there were "knockers" and pessimists, but on<br />
the whole we received the sincere commendation of the<br />
community at large.<br />
Great credit is due the editors and especially to the<br />
editor-in-chief Paul Hankins, for the good work done. And<br />
"mirabile dictu" for the first time in the history of <strong>Kewanee</strong>,<br />
a high school publication has come out ahead<br />
financially. Our t\v faculty advisors, Mr. Love and<br />
Mr. Brooks, by whose unending efforts we turned the tide<br />
of battle, merit great praise, the former as editorial advisor<br />
and the latter as business advisor.<br />
The prospects for next year are exceptionally bright<br />
With . four under-classmen left on the staff we see the<br />
editorials prospering, and Clears, who w r as Assistant Business<br />
Manager this year will probably handle the money.<br />
We wish them all possible luck: and prosperity.

VALEDICTORY<br />
Nelle Frances Graham has won the highest honor<br />
VALEDIGTORY<br />
and<br />
SALUTATORY<br />
awarded by the <strong>Kewanee</strong> High School. This honor has<br />
been thoroughly deservedly her, for her average of 93.328<br />
is the result not of a final spurt but of consistently ex-<br />
cellent work throughout her four years. Studies in which<br />
Miss Graham lias shown greatest strength are History,<br />
avg. 97.3 ; Bookkeeping, avg. 96.3 ; Stenography, 94. Be-<br />
cause of this excellence a number of scholarships are op-<br />
en to Aliss Graham. Whatever college she may attend<br />
the hearty goo,! wishes of classmates and teachers accom-<br />
pany her.<br />
SALUTATORY.<br />
Marie Constance O'Brien<br />
Marie Constance O'Brien, Salutatorian of the Class of<br />
1912, has made an average in scholarship of 92. 969. The<br />
languages have been her forte and no student has made<br />
a better record or completed more work in German, Latin<br />
and English. \n three years German she has maintained<br />
an average of 95.2, and in four years Latin 94.3. Not-<br />
withstanding her exceptional class work Miss O'Brien has<br />
kept lively interest in a number of student activities—par-<br />
ticularlv dramatics.

The cast has been working faithfully to make this<br />
play a success. The book went to press before the play<br />
was staged but from all appearances it will be a success.<br />
The cast is composed of the best talent of the Senior<br />
Class, and the comedy itself is one of the best that has<br />
ever been produced by high school actors. Miss Swan<br />
has been laboring mightily and whole-heartedly every day<br />
with the cast. No small amount of credit is due her. Miss<br />
Swan has made dramatics her "forte" and under her direction<br />
they have prospered greatly.
LA FOLLETTE DEBATING CLUB.<br />
First Semester. Second Semester.<br />
President Harold J. Szold. William Sandford.<br />
Vice President L. Cullen Hunt. Clarence Wiley Spears.<br />
Secretary .Treasurer Roy F. Healy. Walter Powers. Walter Powers.<br />
Early last fall a club was promoted to increase the<br />
interest in debate and to further that interest in order to<br />
secure more candidates for the debating teams. Instilled<br />
with the progressive idea, the name of the "LaFollette De-<br />
bating Club" was chosen.<br />
With the vim and zest that always accompanies a<br />
new undertaking the work was pushed forward. Officers<br />
were elected and meetings held regularly. Much latent<br />
talent was discovered in these programmes, such as O'Con-<br />
nor, the alternate for the winning debating team, and<br />
Sandford our oratorical representative.<br />
The charter members composed the students of Pub-<br />
lie Speaking IV. They were: Clarence Granlund, Robert<br />
Dundas, Max Cavanaugh, Roy Healey, Cullen Hunt, Phil<br />
Rrooks. LeRoy Demerath, Paul Hankins, Clarence Kennish.<br />
Harold Mott, and Harold Szold. Now the membership,<br />
altho strict attention is paid in getting the best the school<br />
has, has increased to over thirty members, made up from<br />
all four classes. This year LaFollette has furnished all<br />
the representatives of K. H. S. in literary contests (ex-<br />
cept Hazelle, and we would have been glad to furnish her)<br />
and we hope the same will be the case next year.<br />
The club was organized under the direct supervision<br />
of Miss Swan, who was the club advisor for the first se-<br />
mester, but resigned later in favor of Mr. Hamilton. Per-<br />
haps Miss Swan is more directly responsible for the club<br />
than any other one person and the ;LaFollette Debating<br />
Club now stands a monument to her ingenuity and per-<br />
severance.

When Delphi WHS organized in the fall of 1911 under<br />
the direction of Miss Burnett the primary object Avas the<br />
promotion of literary activity thruout the high school.<br />
Thru all last year the plan was a decided success. This<br />
year we have improved.<br />
The society was reorganized last fall and things startout<br />
with a snap. The Juniors, who up to this time had<br />
shown no marked literarv talent, besran to wake up and<br />
put forth their best efforts. The meetings were well attendand<br />
the programs interesting.<br />
Tn the second semester inter-scholastic contests attracted<br />
more attention. The <strong>Kewanee</strong>-Princeton debate<br />
was held on April 15th under the auspices of Delphi and<br />
received the commendation of all. Later on May 3rd Delphi<br />
entertained the orators after the Big "8" Oratorical<br />
Contest. These events were successes, both in a literary<br />
and a financial way.<br />
This year Delphi has prospered beyond hopes. Mr.<br />
Love has kept onr interest high by the introduction of a<br />
number of novel features. Medals have been given the<br />
winning school representatives, and the society has thrived.<br />
It is with, Great expectations that we look forward<br />
to happy and prosperous seasons in the year 1912-13.
GLEE<br />
President - - Esther Celander<br />
Vice President - Walter Powers<br />
Manager - - Clarence Granlund<br />
Director - Miss Marianne Miller<br />
The Glee Club was organized for several reasons. The<br />
first was to allow those basso weaklingg, in the absence of<br />
physical culture to strengthen their lnn^s. In the fall<br />
these same singers had hardly enuf "wind" to justify a<br />
"pill eater", but now their lun^s seem to have been forced<br />
by Vulcan. The second reason was to furnish "vaudevillic"<br />
interludes for Mr. Love's classes, to the profound<br />
admiration of that highly respected sir. Another was to<br />
grant occasional respite to laboring German students for<br />
their daily endeavors. The last, but not least reason, was<br />
to allow Miss Miller to get in front of the audience and<br />
CLUB<br />
majestically swing that baton.<br />
But the Glee Club has done more than this. It has<br />
introduced Hazelle to Phil, Esther to "Carrie", and let<br />
Lela exhibit before Joe. Gladys has also got Cullen into<br />
trouble with Helen and almost kept Annette away from<br />
Paul.<br />
However to strike a more serious chord we will say<br />
that the Glee Club has done mighty good work. It contains<br />
perhaps, the best voices in school. They have honored<br />
us at most of our public contests and festivities. Miss<br />
Miller has worked joyously to insure its success. And she<br />
has succeeded. We honor the Glee Club; we are proud of<br />
them; long may we hear their songs.

Foot Ball Review.<br />
The football season of 1911 closed with the orange<br />
and black meeting but one defeat in ten hard battles.<br />
This defeat by Rockford with a score of 11 to 3, was by<br />
far from overwhelming. In this game the boys showed<br />
a great fighting spirit and all but beat Rockford after<br />
they had gained a lead of 11 points.<br />
All the games throughout the season with the exception<br />
of one or two were well contested. Monmouth was<br />
the first to be surprised by <strong>Kewanee</strong>. They declared<br />
themselves in the race for state honors before the season<br />
began and scheduled a practice game with <strong>Kewanee</strong>. The<br />
result to Monmouth was almost fatal, as they did not succeed<br />
in winning, and only succeeded by continued defence<br />
to keep <strong>Kewanee</strong> from scoring. Games with Rock Island,<br />
Maeomb, Normal, LaSalle, Knox Seconds and Knoxville,<br />
were easily won by the orange and black. Aledo gave<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong> the hardest battle of the season until Rockford<br />
was met on Thanksgiving day at Rockford. After a hard<br />
gruelling battle the K. H. S. succeeded in gaining a 9 to 6<br />
victory from the A. H. S. The most satisfactory victory<br />
was that over Princeton, who had praised themselves, as<br />
being state champions. They did have the best developed<br />
team that we met throughout the season, not excepting<br />
Rockford. In this game they had merely met a better<br />
team and were defeated 9 to 0. Until the last game of the<br />
season the opponents succeeded only three times in getting<br />
the ball within K. H. S. 25 yard line. <strong>Kewanee</strong>'s duty<br />
seemed to be defeating teams who were claimants for state<br />
honors. We met four such teams and defeated three of<br />
them.<br />
<strong>Kewanee</strong>'s prospect for 1912 is exceptionally bright<br />
and should all the veterans come back with Captain<br />
Pitsch to lead them, onr High School will again be recognized<br />
among the best in the state. The new rules will be<br />
a decided advantage for the team that works.<br />

BASKETBALL<br />
Season of 1911-12.<br />
Our first season of organized basket ball—the team has<br />
done only moderately well, but in two games—Monmouth<br />
at Monmouth. and Abingdon at <strong>Kewanee</strong>—they played ex-<br />
ceptionally good ball for a new team. Though lacking<br />
experience at the outset, and starting late because of our<br />
remarkable football successes, the boys worked well to mid-<br />
season. The result was a splendid victory over the fast<br />
Monmouth quintette on their own floor 38-24 and the one-<br />
sided score of 30-12 registered against Aledo High. Gales-<br />
burg's veteran team were our next visitors and the first to<br />
beat us. Their experience and team play gave them a<br />
decided advantage, but the K. boys showed weak spirit in<br />
allowing G. S. H. to close with a ten point lead, 30-20.<br />
Canton's team next took us into camp 21-18. Individual<br />
backbone and persistent team organization would not have<br />
allowed these two defeats to have had so demoralizing an<br />
effect. Without serious practice the boys met Abingdon<br />
High twice, each home team winning. For another season<br />
if the boys of K. H. S. want basketball, it will be organized<br />
basketball. Practice must be on schedule and the spirit<br />
must be whole-hearted.
WHY MORE GIRLS SHOULD PLAY BASKETBALL.<br />
If all of the many interests in basketball were blotted<br />
out sate its value in the promotion of good health, the<br />
exercise would still hold its rank in the van of good sports.<br />
The time was—we are glad to say that it is past—when it<br />
was a fad to have frail-looking constitutions. Today there<br />
is a universal movement on foot, led by prominent physicians<br />
to prevent disease, rather than to cure it; to develop<br />
strong, healthy bodies, rather than re-make them. One<br />
of the ways in which this end is accomplished is by physical<br />
culture. At present basketball games are the nearest<br />
approach to scientific exercise for girls which our High<br />
School affords. It is a well known fact that "high<br />
strung" people "are uncontrollable and difficult to live<br />
with. They see trouble and meet it at every turn in the<br />
road, or failing to do so, make it. Look at our basketball<br />
force. Do they look nervous? "Would you pick them for<br />
disturbers? They are not. Girls, play basketball. Develop<br />
firmer muscles, a good circulation, and an equable<br />
temper. Be symmetrically developed women whom people<br />
will delight to meet and serve.<br />
The old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a<br />
dull boy," is just as true today as it ever was. The business<br />
man who has no hour for play, grows old before his<br />
time, and his period of fruitfulness is short. The grind<br />
who has no time for recreation is soon a nervous wreck<br />
and unsymmetrically developed. The wisest of our intellectual<br />
ancestors have always felt that athletics was a part<br />
of good education. Basketball, like many other forms of<br />
recreation, sweeps the cobwebs out of the brain and clears<br />
it for more active and efficient work when again resumed.<br />
It is interesting to note that there has been represented in<br />
the basketball force this year some of the best caliber<br />
among the High School students, and if more indulged in<br />
the exercise undoubtedly a less number would find themselves<br />
in the plight of:<br />
"Little Jill Horner,<br />
Who sat in a corner,<br />
Wiping her weeping eye;<br />
She'd been with the horde,<br />
With the faculty board,<br />
And wailed 'a poor notice' have I."<br />
Statistics show and physicians unanimously agree,<br />
that good mental work cannot be accomplished when the<br />

<strong>THE</strong> TRACK SEASON OF 1912.<br />
The track season of 1912 opened at the Princeton Uni-<br />
versity indoor Interscholastic, Spears being 1 our only rep-<br />
resentative at this meet. <strong>Kewanee</strong> captured five points.<br />
Spears winning the shot-put. After the Princeton meet,<br />
the squad trained under Coach Hamilton. On March 23rd<br />
the school sent a team composed of Blake, Brooks, Pitsch<br />
and Spears to the Northwestern Indoor Interscholastic.<br />
Spears broke the record in the shot-put by three feet, rais-<br />
ing it to 48 feet 5 3-5 inches. The rest of the team made<br />
a splendid showing 1 , but were handicapped by lack of train-<br />
ing.<br />
This closed the indoor season. The call for candidates<br />
for outdoor work was issued April 10th. The first<br />
meet was an inter-class meet for the purpose of arousing<br />
interest in track work. The second meet Avas on April<br />
21st. When the annual class meet was given by the school<br />
the Juniors Avon the trophy with the Seniors a close second.<br />
On May 24th the team competed in the big meet at<br />
Galesburg. Spears broke the record in the shot and took<br />
second in the discus. Blake took third in the low hurdles.<br />
running 1 a pretty race. Anderson and Washburn also<br />
made a good showing.<br />
Through the efforts of Mr. Hamilton an annual triangular,<br />
to be held every year at <strong>Kewanee</strong>. Avas started.<br />
Princeton, Galesburg and KeAvanee competed in this meet<br />
on May 11th. Galesburg was first with 56 points. KeAvanee<br />
second with 31 1-2 and Princeton third with 29 1-2.<br />
Spears will be the only representative at the Interscholastic<br />
at Illinois, Northwestern and Chicago and will<br />
undoubtedly bring home medals from these meets.<br />
(Continued from Page 56.)<br />
body is all wrong physically. A reasonable amount of exercise<br />
under right conditions tends to keep the student<br />
above that fatal level of "poor work". And for the girl<br />
whose heart is in the game, two things are being accomplished.<br />
She is developing mentally and physically at the<br />
same time. There is a matching of Avits out of class as<br />
Avell as in it. In order to win the victory from a rival<br />
team the sane judgment of an active mind is exercised<br />
each instant. And in her dreams she works out new maneuvers,<br />
just as the mathematician wakes up with a solution<br />
to his problem, and the genius with a neAV discovery.<br />
Basketball not only promotes good health and forms<br />
the basis for clear thinking, but unconsciously creates a<br />
code of sound morals, which is necessarv in the upbuilding<br />
of every ercod character. First of all. it teaches the game<br />
of life, namely, that one must work for his place in the<br />
world, and having won it, work to keep it. or yield to one<br />
more efficient. The exercise encourages an ambition Avider<br />
than one's self. The enthusiastic plaver Avorks for her<br />
team first, her class second, and herself last. Our girls<br />
learn the importance of a "square deal". They keep their<br />
appointments and expect others to do the same. They<br />
learn to take criticism kindly, one of the hardest and at<br />
the same time most valuable traits of character. Many<br />
shoulder responsibility, and all take a partial course in<br />
the "University of Hard Knocks".<br />
Is not then, that Avhieh is conducive to good health,<br />
a productive mind, sound morals, beautiful character, and<br />
the sum of these, efficient womanhood, worth while? Think<br />
about it, girls. Think seriously, and when the first meeting<br />
of the season of 1912-'13 is called, let there be a large,<br />
enthusiastic response.<br />
