the STORY OF THE WEEK
Ed Dugger Testimonial
Dinner, May 9, 1o41
COusens Gym = MedfOrd

This is to give advance notice to all
festive board" gatherers and extend a
special invitation to the many followers
of the track activities of one of our
outstanding athletes, Ed Dugger, to
attend the testimonial in his honor on
Thursday, May 18th. The dinner and
entertainment, ETC., will all be held in
the Intra-mural room Of the Cousens
Gymnasium out at Tufts. It's an invi-
tation that I am more than glad to ex-
tend for two good reasons; first, be-
cause it will give US all chance to pay
homage to one of the grandest athletes
ever to come along; and second, because
of the encouragement it will give to
other high school athletes of our race
to carry on feeling sure that down the
road there are many waiting to greet
them if they play the "game" for all it
is worth, regardless of the outcome.
TESTIMONIALS GOOD INCEN-
TIVES
Perhaps there are those who are still
of the opinion that it doesn't concern
the general public too much what hap
pens to an athlete who is nearing the
end of his career. These people always
mention the fact that they have fol-
lowed the athletes career giving him a
slap on the back when needed and at
the end they see no good reason for an
added congratulatory gesture. And
they are right as far as they go. How
ever, they should be reminded that life,
itself, is team work and that testi-
monials serve as the last reminder to
an athlete that something more is ex-
pected of him something bigger for
it concerns not only himself but his
community as well.
Testimonials give to the person be-
ing honored that feeling that it's all
just beginning which is the right
feeling to have. The public isn't always
aware Of this and as consequence at
tend such dinners more from the point
Of view eyes, I was there" It's com
munity affair given only because the
folks in charge feel certain, among
themselves, that Dugger has real lead
ership qualities which if nurtured prop
erly will be of great influence and bene-
fit to all of us. That's the main reason
why all should grab hold of ticket
for this one.
DUGGER HAS GREATEST
HURDLE IN FRONT OF HIM
To get back to the main feature, Ed
Dugger's career reads like a story book.
How he got started during his high
school days while trying to emanate the
track record Of his father, who was out
standing at English High There was
not too much love for track at first for
football and basketball were mre entic-
ing. But then there came those encour-
aging words from his mother and his
coach and enough interest was engen-
dered to give track a full try. The
question arose "what shall I attempt
to doq" Trying to find the answer made
him the schoolboy sensation as he con-
tinually garnered several points for his
team, week after week, until finally
graduation and a scholarship to Tufts
was his reward.
His collegiate career has been but a
continuation Of his high school start.
