Show Editorial . . . THEM'S OUR BOYS! To be favorably known, an individual, group, or institution institu-tion must make a worthwhile contribution to the life of the composite community. It may be mental, physical, social, spiritual or a combination of all four. Pleasant Grove High School's 1960 basketball team has done just that. The fact that they did not go ail the way to the class B championship is only incidental. What they did throughout the long and grueling season and in the heated and strenuous tournament, will not soon be forgotten. Life's greatest and most satisfying accomplishments always al-ways come by the united effort of those who achieve with no thought of material advantage or gain. Service to church, school or community invariably brings out the best in those who serve. The winning of 12 games out of a possible 14 in league and tournament play was not a "business as usual" accomplishment. accom-plishment. It required sweat, toil and sacrifice and perhaps a few tears on the part of players, coaches and studentbody. Modern athletic competition requires physical endurance and stamini. The Vikings had it. It requires team spirit and solidarity. They had that too. Finally, athletic success depends on intelligent and consistent con-sistent coaching. The Vikings had that also, all through the season and to a marked degree. Because of all these aspects, Pleasant Grove has become more favorably known throughout the Inland Empire. We extend ex-tend warmest thanks and appreciation to all concerned. So we say, with button-bursting pride, "Them's Our Boys." |
