Athletics in General
We learn from History that
the oldest nations have recogniz-
ed athletics as an important ele-
ment in their educational system
And why? Because centuries
ago they were wise enough to
think and say, “We can not have
healthy minds with out healthy
bodies” common sense and rea-
son taught them that.
Why do we have a Physical
culture course in our schools?
Simply because the majority of
students are too lazy (or afraid)
to walk fast, skip, run or jump;
and we have to have this course
to make them get exercise. See!
The faculty recognizes the fact
that our bodies must be healthy.
Needless to say most of us only
wish that we could take P. C.
every day instead of just once a
week, for we enjoy it.
But we have other means of
taking exercise-—this is what we
are after,' out door athletics.
Now suppose we have our strong
vigorous bodies, how long will
they be strong if we do nothing
but grind away at our books?
Let me tell you something, all
the girls are interested in keep-
ing young (they can not afford
to get to looking like old maids,)
let us all spend our one hour and
half at at least three afternoons
a week in playing tennis, basket
or volley ball. Pll guarantee
that, if you get started, you will
get interested. In due time we
will have all these games organ-
ized if we show the committee
that we need and want them.
Another thing, ever since the
beginning, nine years ago, al-
ways only a few, almost one
tenth of the girls, but far more
of the boys have taken an active
part in athletics. Why should
not all be interested this year?
Oh yes, I know some will say
“Pm so awkward,” others will
say, “But Pm too fat,” and still
others will say, “Pm too thin,”
Here is an answer to that argu-
ment—the awkward will get
graceful, the fat thin and the
thin fat, if you follow the direc-
tions of the coaches and join
heartily with us in our athletics.
We are going to make this year’s
the best in the history of the
school.
Whose ambition reaches to a

Our Neighbors makes too fre-

er are are appointed as a eom-

interests there—you will please
act at once,boys, there may be a
panic.

From the number of girls
clamoring for Domestic Science,
it is to be understood that they
haven’t forgotten that next year
is Leap Year, and are even now
making plans to ensnare some
poor, innocent man.
