Show raidtool iltorf furnished by North Sanpete High School Students. Our school year is now over half gone and we are starting on the home stretch. The time has come wien many begin to slack up in their work or drop out entirely. Tne time when they respond to "The call of the land," one professor put it Tney become restless and dissatisfied dissatis-fied and want to be out in the open air instead of in the tchool room. This is peharps natural to an exte t but we must remember that the home stretch is thp critical point in every race that counts and those who would win must not slack pace now but get ojown to steady work and put in good hard knocks. In view of this let us each take an inventory of ourselves and see just where we stand. If we are not up to where we should be and are not doing our level best, get in and drill and stick to it till the end. The I laps is still ahead of us and remem-; remem-; ber that success comes not always ; tothespe.'dy but to him that en-' en-' dures to the end. If you are still in j the lead let no one get ahead of you. i The dire contagion called Flunk-' Flunk-' itis attacks many students about I this time of the year. Let us keep j our school strictly free from it be-j be-j cause its effects are always disastrous j and many times fatal, j Did the Basket Ball Team go to , Moroni last night? Did they? Oh! did thay? '-Well, I guess they did". The team and Mr. Jensen were there a id they wer all veiy glad lo have vvith them i body guard of more than thirty students chaperoned by Miss Ryan and Mr. Stewart. The I body guard was undoubtedly a good 6 thing, if so me of the expressions i heard in the hall can be used as a t, criterion by which to judge. Mr. J nsen was roughly abused on all side; and the members of the team alsu received their share of abuse. The Moroni coach after seeing the swift and active playing of the N. S. H. S. boys, started calling fouls or. our team and the noise of his whistle was heard very often. But that, wouldn't have been out of the way if he could have told what he called', them for, but, when asked to say why he called them he could1 not, as he did not know himself, most of the time. Through his very good decisions de-cisions and the good luck of the foul pitcher, Moroni won the game, the score being IS to 23. But it afforded Mount Pleasant great satisfaction when during the dance their lights went out and that great athletic coach and one of the N. S. H. team were the only ones in the entire crowd that had sufficient knowledge to know what was the mat ter with them and to restore them to their former brightness. After the game our coach asked them for another game and offered to pay their expenses to any part in the county and even offered to play them again in ttieir own hall but their coach refused and said he had to get started in track work. Monday Mon-day the coach asked them again t? come and play us Wednesday night so it would not break into their track vork which wasn't to commence com-mence until next week, and they refused re-fused again and saidthey would not p'.ay us anothjr game, The only excuse ex-cuse he could offer was that his boys had t" study and could'nt spare the time. Since we have been studying argumentation in our school we form the habit of putting our ideas in the form of "The Brief". A "Brief" account of the Moroni game would look something like this; Resolved: A hall used for Basket ball should be at least four feet by eight; fjr (a) the ball should be in bounds at least one fourth of the time. The decorations in the form of j iron i uds that were just above the ! heads of the .players were not appreciated, ap-preciated, for we were fieither playing play-ing tennis nor doing pole vaulting. Generally when the ball was delivered, deliver-ed, the tnrower would receive it back in his face. On Thursday evening the N. S. II. S. plaved another practice game with Wasatch Academy. The game 1 was won by the High School. |
