The Eagles Cry


Contributions from the
One of the most widely rec
ognized values of such extra
curricular activities as athlet-
les and special programs used
in scohols today is the train
ing which instills in the indi-
vidual the ability to be a kind
ly, gracious winner or "a good,
cheerful loser. In other words,
he is helped to become a good
sport.
This quality of craftsmanship
is required not only of those
who actually participate in the
activities, but also of those who
would like to participate but for
one reason or another are I'M
able to do so.
Obviously, only "a certain
number of individuals can play
on the first team, or act in a
certain play, or take part in
a program. Equally obvious is
the fact that when more than
that number aspire for places
on that team or program, some
must be disappointed. The
sportsmanlike thing for them
to do then is to accept the de-
cision of the coach or teacher
and Fundamentally support
their more successful friends.
Sometimes the Judgment of the
selector is faulty; at such times
it may be well to remember
that Ito err is human, to for
give divine"
This year we have decided
that we could not possibly use
all students of the school in
the Christmas program which
is being presented to the pub
lie on the evening of December
10. Intsead we are using about
one hundred students, which is
less than half the total num-
Der enrolled. There are also
comparatively few leading roles.
Consequently, many students
and some parents must be dis
appointed. We of the school
sincerely regret this fact and
we ask the kind consideration
and indulgence of these people.
