STRIFE FORGOTTEN, FRIENDSHIP MADE
ed on a brass plate over the fireplace in the visiting team’s room
is Field House at Dartmouth College is the following inscription:
orgotten, friendships made.” At Princeton and at Cornell there are
inscriptions which leave on the minds of opponent’s the impression
; the friendship of other colleges than in winning annual athletic combats.
thletics were first established in schools and colleges to afford an opportunity
or the physical development of the students. Later it was ‘argued that
thleti ea loyalty to the school and friendship with other schools
d i ry way tended to develop the minds of the players.
these as the primary reasons for existing, school athletics have now
“grown to the point where their benefit to the student, the student body and
he school have ‘often been questioned. Certainly jealousy, pettiness and un-
ir competition have never been advanced as reasons why high schoos] and
es should maintain an elaborate and expensive system of athletics. To
he value of school athletics, the action of Diallas Boroughs
the recent meeting of local school heads to establish a Rural
sket Ball League leaves a still further question whether athletics are justi-
in the | high school. The borough’s representative refused to enter
ple in which the team from Dallas township was entered. His action
ollowed : ‘meeting of the borough student council when that body voted to
ever all athletic connections with the township. The action of the council
as the direct result of hard feelings following a recent football game with the
am from Dallas township.
Such action was unwarranted. It was the result of hasty and angry
~ thinking on the part of a council whose action was stimulated by the dis-
greeable attitude of fans who witnessed the recent football game. There Ts
till a question’ in the minds of many spectators as to just which football team
layed the hardest and roughest game on that occasion. And the student
ouncil should have waited until the community and the council itself cooled
wn before taking action. Nothing is to be gained by severing connections
h the township. Much is to be lost. Certainly the faculty and the direc-
s of the local schools will not ‘allow the development of ill feelings between
borough and township just because a council made up of undeveloped
Id minds has said that “such shall be the case.” Better to follow the
ership of Cornell and Princeton, where athletics mean something and
the slogan: “Strife forgotten, friendship made,” than to allow fur-
prejudices to grow up in this community. If athletics mean hard feelings
prejudices—then discontinue athletics. Ne

HEARD AROUND
THE CORNER
Seme Fisherman
When it comes to fishing, and es-
pecially for pickerel, Hal Wagner of
town seems to have the fever, and on
Armistice Day, just past, he seems to
| have copped the prize when it comes
to size, over his companions, Charlie
Johnson of Beaumont and F. F. Mor-
ris of Dallas.
Some few weeks ago both Wagner
and Johnson each caught a pickerel
approximately twenty-nine inches long
and considerable discussion followed
as to ‘who was who.” But on Mon-
day last Wagner caught one weighing
three pounds and eleven ounces and
showed a total length of twenty-six
inches without stretching, which is
sometimes done by these good friends
who accompanied him on the trip.
That, is not stretching the truth, but
the fish.
Up to the Minute
This fellow Earl Monk of Shaver-
town is sure right up to the minute
in regard to his hardware store. Earl
has already stocked up with various
Christmas toys and novelties. Save
carfare to town -by buying your
Christmas toys from Monk ‘and the
difference will pay for those new tree
trimmings that ycu are figuring on
“in sprucing up the tree.”
Improving
We are glad to note that this fellow
“L. A.” is commencing to go home a
little earlier in the evening.® While
not a bad fellow, he seems to take
and enjoy passing the time of day, and

Its Sure Is Nice
We compliment our good friend
“Jiggs,” as he is familiarly known to
his close friends, but generally known
as Herm VanCampen, on his success
in the business world. Herm is a real
go-getter and has added considerable
improvements to his property
Shavertown. He has recently
modeled his store room, built an ad-
dition to the former Shavertown
Lumber Company building and now
we hear he has added another three-
stall addition to his row of garages.
The latest is that he needs a six-
inch brush to paint four-inch boards.
