UtOpiQn Links the Aim
of MOntClair Golf Club

While DESTROYS OF working in har-
mony with the United States Golf As
sociation as far as possible. the West
ern tilbusters insinuate that If pushed
TOO hard against the wall by the par
ent body. they may take such drastic
steps as 10 form n new organization OF
national scope and decide for them
selves what constitutes an amateur.
We remember little nine-hole
course We used 20 play on some ten or
fifteen years back. There was every
Storm King Golf Club. in back Of Corn
wall-on-the- Hudson, and although il is
= round dozen years since we finished
our last round there. every hole. every
r.se and fall in the ground. remain dis
tinct memories.
Walter r. Egan. Of Chicago. visited
storm King in 1903. if memory IS not
az fault. and played a round with our
club champion. Golfers OF the top
fight were just as plentiful "a hens
teeth az Cornwall in those days. and
the entire club membership turned out
10 see Egan perform.
One hole. the eighth. required fair
drive up a sharp rise Of ground. with
dirt road and stone wall surrounded
by underbrush. 10 trap the unvary. II
was blind hole. and after the drive "a
very nifty pitch with the mashie would
leave the player a good ffteen-foot
putt for his 3 AZ least. that is what
We always figured on. after four years
Of almost daily play at II.
Egan climbed 20 the top Of the high
eighth tee, dropped his ball haphaz-
ard on the tee and then swung at il
nonchalantly with a cleek. The play
ers and the gallery ,rooped up the
hill toward the green. Some Of the
spectators were hard put 70 it 70 keep
from snickering audibly. A ball
played a trife 10 the left would trickle
OF the sloping green into d stubble
and stir UP all sorts OF trouble.
The club champion had played his
shot according 10 Hoyle. and while the
eaddies were beating about the under
brush for Egan's ball. the hope Of
Storm King prepared to lay his sec
ond dead 70 the hole. The caddie ran
10 take the flag from the hole. and a.
he lifted II out his two eyes bulged
from his head and he pointed down
ward. speechless. Egan's ball reposed
peacefully IN the cup. and the cousin
OF II. Chanler Egsn. former amateur
champion. seemed only mildly en-
Unused over what Storm King golfers
regarded as marvellous shot.

"All for One and One for

BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Golf has always been hailed as
democratic game, one for the masses.
and there are few 10 dispute its avail
ability for men and women in almost
every walk Of life. Il should not be
cause for great surprise, therefore. II
socialistic theories creep IN and pro-
duce Utopian links.

vors Of the idealistic state. in that IL Is

We imagine golf under such Jtopiar

be no vulgar arguments about the

Luck plays its part in golf To win
a championship the victor must have
his share. But luck alone will never
land him in front And the main factor
after all is the way bad luck is met.
The golfer who is too quickly discour-
aged by bad lie or hard luck break
will never get very far. For too many
golfers expect perfect lies for every
shot and when the same doesn't result
they make up their minds that the gods
Of the game have all turned against
them.

TRAVIS ESTIMATES
LUCK AT 3 PER CENT
Some Important Matches in
Which Breaks" of Game Have
Made Themselves Felt.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

What part does Luck play in golf?
The keenest analyst OF the age could
never figure this out 10 any set percent
age, although Luck is always a factor
one way OF another.
One bad shot may roll within two
feet Of a bunker and stop for an easy
pitch to the green. A better shot may
ram its way into the sand and bring on
untold anguish. Also innumerable
strokes.
In big fields where so many are about
evenly matched. the winning golfer
must certainly have his share Of the
luck. Often he will get Just trifie
more than his share. But those VINO
are always claiming that luck has won
for this or that entry forget this adden-
dum-that luck to win must also be
backed by skill and pluck. Raw luck
alone never won championship or a
tournament of first class.

THE CLASS PROPHECY
by Irma Feely

AS 1t was assigned to me to deliver
TO you the history and prophecy Of
the class of 1915, ! stand before you
asking you to give marked attention
to the wonderful things which have
happened and are yet to happen to
that class.
In September of the year 1912, a
class OF thirteen students, having
successfully passed the eighth grade
examinations, entered the Rathdrum
High School with a feeling Of zeal
and earnestness, to take up the work
Of the High School. They were Emily
Hettman, Eruestine brennan, Paul
inc Quarles, Bertha Fehlhaber, Ruth
Whitfield, Irma Feely, Frank
Webster, Hobart Anstine, Perrie
Pierce, Paul Wickertsheimer, Marie
Beach, Clair Atwood and Lawrence
Dietrich. They struggled on with
toll and hardship. until at the begin
ming OF the second semester four more
joined their ranks. They were Chester
Mulledy, Lloyd McNett, Charles
Richmond and Willie Ford. The
newcomers, were OF no great help to
the class, for they too staggered on
thru the rest of the year and were as
anxious as any to welcome the
summer vacation.

SALUTATORY.
BY Ernestine brennan.

Friends, faculty and school direct
ors. We the Senior class welcome
you here tonight; even though we
are so few in number, we are prouc
to say we have tried always to live ur
to our motto mot how much, but
how we'll"
We appreciate the fact that SC
many are sufficiently interested in us
to be present on one of the greatest
occasions in our lives.
Although we have finished our
high school course, we all expect to
go on to higher institution of learn
ing, so that on the foundation we
have made, we may continue to build
until we have a, firm substantial
structure. We want to emphasize
strongly the fact that we appreciate
all that you, the taxpayers of this
community, have done for us, in
giving us such excellent opportuni-
ties all through our grade and high
school courses.
We hope that some day we may
be able to repay you and that we
may fulfill our duty toward the state
and toward our fellow citizens. In
order that we may do this, we shall
take as our guiding principle, the
prayer of Ebert Hubbard. The
supreme prayer of my heart is not
to be learned. rich, famous, power
full or good. but simply to be
radiant.
] desire to radiate health, cheer
fulness, calm courage, and good will.
l wish to live without hate, whim,
jealousy, envy, fear.
wish to be simple, honest, frank.
natural, clean in mind and clean in
body, unafected-to say Il do not
know" if it be SO, and to meet all
men on an absolute equality-to face
any obstacle and meet every diff
Guilty unabashed and unafraid.
wish others to live their lives, too
up to their highest, fullest and best.
To that end I pray that may never
meddle, interfere, dictate, give advice
that is not wanted, or assist when my
services are not needed. If l can
help people, I'll do it by giving them
chance to help themselves; and if
/ can uplift or inspire, let it be by
example, inference and suggestion,
rather than by injunction and dicta-
ton. That is to say. desire to be
radiant-to radiate life.
