i'm the absence of the captain:
II am sure that l voice the senti-
ments OF the entire football team.
when l say that IL is n pleasure for
I us to be with You this evening. and
\ to accept the kind hospitality offered
\ us.
We are honestly proud OF the
games we have won, for We met with
fine teams both from the Eighth
grade and the Central school. and the
freshman class of the high school.
They both gave up splendid games. So
l propose
"a toast To the team that loses.
Since its loss is our gain.
Defeat often sharpens ambition,
And success. often striving. heals
pain
$50 we do not intend to let our sue
cess lessen our efforts we shall
strive harder than ever To prove our
selves worthy of the laurcls we have
won, and to keep them.
ut il our aim toplay 50 well that
the end shall always justify the
means: tn play such n clean game on
the grdiran in this world. that we
shall not 30 where there are gridirons
In the next.
Then here's tn the football team

intolcrant of Interference
.our School,"
Our School," was tho topic of the
toast by stiliman Ross:
Outside Of our own homes. per-
haps there Is nothing In which we
are so closely interested as our school
We may toast our faculty and our
students. but they make up our
school. We may toast our football
team. but that Is an institution of
our school. While each little section
has its own part. We are proud of our
school as IA whole.
We ar. particularly proud Of our
Eighth grade. Ii means something To
pupil To know that his grade ranks
second To none in the state. and to
. know that every effort on his part
contributes something to the reputa-
ton of his school
We cannot help taking this occa-
sion 10 express our appreciation of
our superintendent, who regulates
everything for our best interests and
! the best interests of the school.
We cannot help feeling the sin
cefe interest Of our teachers, when
their support backs us up even in a
football game. other schools may
have fine principals. too: but not
every fine principal is a good UNI
pire. So lets say as the baseball cap
tain did. Here's To our umpire. He has
done what he could: let us forgive
what is left of him.
/ We may not always do everything
that is asked of us as chcerfuliy rs
We might. but in the end we know
that il is all for our good. When
thinking of our school. let's give our
toast both In the things We are good
for, and the things that are good for
us.
/ Here's To the Eighth grade of Mis-
soula-Second Ia none in Montana"
Marguerite Rafferty, spoke in verse
on The Faculty"
When counting DER our blessings,
\ And naming them one by one.
| We feel that the fates have favored
us
! With the hes; teachers under the
sun.
