us, perhaps; for the rest it is but the
stepping stone to higher education,
and, we trust, to our ambitions as
we'll. We wish to justify the belief
you have expressed in us so far and
put our education to use in the way
in which it was intended.
Education is progress. The motto
we have chosen, Progressive, not
retrogressive,' is symbolical of our
ideals The world continues to move
forward and if we do not keep step,
we shall be left behind indifferently.
The universe is not concerned with
laggers. Tonight we receive the writ
ten declaration of the faculty, that
we have successfully completed the
prescribed course of study; but only
the graduate himself knows how much

future use. No one while yet alive
has finished his education-it is i'm
possible-only he who has begun his

finished his education. If you give TO

moves forward always If our best
ten years hence does not compare
very favorably with our best now, we
belong to the group designated by
the latter half of our motto, retro
gressive.

signifies in itself beginning, not an
end Each one has his own niche in

ST. MATS DEFEAT
METH0DIS7S, 1921.
Win First Game Of Inter-Church
League Play at "Y"
Church League Standing

The St. Matthew's German Luth-
eran quintet defeated the Trinity
Methodists in the opening game OF
the Inter-C Church basketball league
Saturday night at the Y. NJ. c. A.
the score being 1921. The game
was played more fiercely than clev-
erly, both teams showing the rag
gedness to be expected In early sea-
son games. The winners showed an
abundance of speed and promise to
develop into one of the leagues
fastest teams when the men have
grown accustomed to working to-
gether, while the Methodists also
seemed 10 have latent power but
missed many shots.
Billy Preisser sent the st. Mats
into the lead with field goal
shortly after the opening whistle,
and they stayed there. The first
half was slow and erratic, ending
with the Lutherans ahead at 14-7.
The Methodists rallied in the sec
ond period. when Deming Hewett
found himself, and soon only four
points separated the teams at 1914.
At this point "Goody" Preisser be-
gan to cage goals from all angles
and distances and the st. Mats
stepped away again as both teams
began to play much better ball.
"Goody" Preisser made IS points
and starred for the winners, while
his brother Billy did well on both
offense and defense and Reckert
showed to advantage. Deming Hew-
cit, Paul Braddon and Fengler

BEATS new London
Joe Luke Heayes in 10 Field
Goals During Contest

The New London "Y" basketball
team, using an entire squad OF 10
men, failed to stop the local "Y"
representative team Saturday night
in the Whaling City. After 60
mile ride the New Britain team
donned its suits. took the floor
against the fast Whaler team and
after the first five minutes was
never headed.
The Luke brothers, "Micky" and
Joe" playing forwards, worked
well together. "Micky" feeding the
ball to Joe" enabling the latter to
ring in ten double deckers.
"Micky' scored six himself. De-
marest, center, SAKE, Yankaskas
and Chief Larson smeared all of
New London's efforts to get near
the basket and the latter team was
forced to shoot from the middle of
the floor garnering most of their
points by this route. Bengston, the
new New Britain forward, was sent
in in the last quarter and very
shortly added to New Britain's
score.
The local "Y" teams passes
worked to perfection for the first
game. The players lost the ball
only when they resorted to long
heaves. Both teams were off In
their shooting from the free throw
line. New Britain scoring only
twice out of II times and New
London three out OF nine.
