Says Schools Have Plenty of Spirit
and Avery's Article Article Is Unjustified
By Adda Garinger, Fnger Editor in Chief
Lake Township Schools”
It seems incredible that a school
with aname so honored as Laketon
could have an alumnus who does not
honor his Alma Mater enough to sup-
port its athletics, yet by the column
. of “hotair” in last week's Post we find
that his is so, and are ashamed for
that person.
While student support is somewhat
lacking in that we have no second
tearm, it it quite false that our cheering
lacks school spirit. It never has, and
this year certainly is no exception to
the rule. Laketon has always been
famous for its splendid showing of
school spirit, and me are going to see
that while we are alive it always shall!
If you do not believe that we have as
many cheers and can yell as loudly
and are as organized as any school in
the county for our size, we challenge
vou to a cheering contest! True, our
cheer leaders as yethave not purchased
uniforms, but it takes more than ‘good
looking uniforms to have good cheer-
ing. ®
We cannot and do not expect our
football team, in its second year, to g0
out uncoached and without the proper
equipment, defeat every other teams in
the county. However, we will say that
our boys are showing splendid school
| spirit and good sportsmanship in vie-
| tory and defeat.
We have always been known as good
losers, and even. though our boys do
do not have “neat blue - jerseys and
brown pants,” they take their defeats
as well as their victories with heads
up. Clothes may make the man in the
outside world, but on the gridiron it
take something besides “neat blue jer-
seys asd brown ponts” to win the]
game fairly and squarely.

by the opposing team for their splen-

they were good losers.
Johnnie Kuchta, that good-looking
senior, played as usual a splendid
game, a fact which we are proud of.

did the spectators, all of which play

EDUCATION
By GRACE PATTON
Beaumont High School
“Time and tide waits for no man,”
a rather old but very true adage
handed down to us by our forefathers.
It especially applies to ou big fight
for the establishment of a National
Department of Public Education, with
its head, a member of the President’s
cabinet. The battle is on in dead
earnest and if we Americans really
want to help our children secure
enough knowledge to fit them for the
esponsibilities of later life, we will get |
into the fight and stay thee until vic-
tory rewards us.
It is up to us now. Sidestepping is
entirely out of order among red-
blooded Americans. The enemies of
broader educational opportunities for
our children are fighting against the
Robinson-Capper Bill.
If they understand that children
from all foreign homes meet on an
equal basis, that they mix and mingle,
learn our language, study our national
history, learn to love our Flag and
Constitution, and to espect and obey
our laws, they will be eager éo work
They go in foreigners and
come our Americans. Why not try
to educate them?

‘The Dallas township football team
defeated the Lake township team on
the Laketon field Friday afternoon by
the score of 9-6.
Late in the second period Kuchta,
fullback of the Laketon team, circled
right end for sixty yards behind per-
fect interference for a touchdown.

points when Carey tackled Kuchta be-
hind his own goal line.
The second half opened with Lake-
ton kickin of fto Dallas. After three
successive first downs, the ball was
lost on Laketon’s thirty yard line.
After failing to gain, Laketon elected
to kick on its own twenty yard line.
But the punt was blocked and re-
covered by Girvan of Dallas on the
nine yard line. Maukitas crashed
thrugh for a touchdown on the next
play. He also scored the extra point
a moment later on a plunge through
the line.
Late in the last quarter Dallas

for the goal line with line bucks and
forward passes. The game ended just
as Ross completed a thirty-yard pass
to Girvan. 1
