America an immigrant and a
poor homeless boy, and grew to
be one of the biggest business

books, provide speakers, and
supply means for radio broad

peace movement. The purpose

think clearly, think fearlessly;
and you will draw the right con
clusions.”

Clios^and Euter-

ketball Game
Big brother and little sister soci

inter-society basket-ball games
at the High School gymnasium
last Thursday night in scores 10
to 8 and 17 to 11, respectively,
before a large portion of the stu
dent body, who exuberantly
boosted the society to which they
belonged.
The “Muses,” playing the
initial game, engaged in the first
basket-ball game that a Brevard
girls’ team has played. When
all good and “punk” shots were
over and the final toot came on
the whistle, the Euterpeans
proudly and wildly jumped into
the air with shouts of victory,
Elizabeth Price led the scoring
for the winners, and Edith Sta-
mey was the dominant player in
action for the losers.
Although with very little prac
tice to begin a game, both boys’
teams played fast and exact ball.
Frank Craven, a nimble and
flashy Clio, was far ahead of any
other man in the scoring roster.
Everhardt carried scoring honors
for the Delphians.
Leon Stubbs piloted the Clios,
and Howard Stamey was mentor
of the Delphians and Mnemosy-
neans. Mrs. Ranson coached the
Euterpeans.
We are all salesmen, every day
of our lives. We are selling our
ideas, our plans, our energies,
our enthusiam to those with
whom we come in contact.
