The Opelousas basket ball team
has been accorded the state cham
pionship by the officials of the
Louisiana Interscholastie Athletic
Association, when the local team
easily defeated the Baton Rouge
champions on last Friday after
noon.
Out Of a large number of games
played this season the Opelousas
girls have lost but one game; had
it not been that the Opelousas team
had to go to Baton Rouge on the
early morning Frisco train, arriv-
ing atsttieeapitai city tired and
worm out from lack of sleep, that
game would have been won by the
Opelousas girls.
AS a souvenir of their splendid
work the high school damsels, who
scaIped the Baton Rouge girls, have
in their possession the loving cup
offered by the association for the
state champions.

In closing this tribute to this
beautiful young life, these lines by
Frederic Lawrence Knowles, en-
titled @Laus Norris seem most
fitting:
Nay, why should | fear death,
Who gives us life, and in exchange
takes breath2
He is like cordial Spring
That lifts above the soil. each
buried thing;
Like Winters stormy hours
That spread their fleece of snow to
save the flowers;
The lordliest of all things
Life lends us only feet. Death gives
US wings!
Laid in one equal bed,
When once your coverlet Of grass
is spread,
What daybreak need you fear2-
The Love will rule you there that
guides you Acre.
