The school enjoyed one Of the most
helpful chapel periods Of the year on
Monday last when the Reverend Dean
gave an address upon the subject.
What is a MANI"
He began by having the school re-
peat the first Psalm which he explain
ed saying that we should not walk
with, stand among or sit among sin
ners.
He introduced his topic by saying
that in our Imagination, the ideal man
is just what we ourselves, think and
do.
He spoke upon the preparation for
after life and the many institutions
of learning, among which was one
school far larger than all the others
combined, since every one attended
this school whether he vas willing
or not.
This school is known as the great
school of experience and like all other
great schools it has it's own colors
which are, black and blue-procured
by hard knocks.
He named five types of supposedly
great men, as follows:
Victims of circumstance" Fight
ers,- "Producers,- Thinkers" Those
Who Serve" Those who serve are
the truly great men.
He presented two great examples,
Abraham Lincoln and VIM. Gladstone
These men came from opposite kinds
of families and entirely dinerent en-
vironments and yet they both attain
ed the great throne OF success.
He compared mans life to a great
triangle, the base Of which might rep
resent heredity. one side environment
and the other side the real results ac-
complished. The sides Of the triangle
were likewise compared TO the seed
the soil and the product.
In closing he said that it rested
with us as to whether we should pro-
duce ten or fifteen or one hundred
and fifty bushels per acrd in the
great field of life.

been offered by many but one thing
is sure it will be spent to good ad-
vantage.

doubt have an opportunity next week.
Athletics.
Basket ball is now looming high
, in the horizon of school activities.
Armory ball and tennis have now
passed with their season so the ntten-
ton of the school is fixed upon the
athletics TO be-especially basket ball.
i The basket ball teams of the high
school have in past years been the
pride of the community as well as of
the school. They have been the envy of
many of the largest schools in the
state.

high standard will be preserved this

reward the efforts of the boys.
