Hiwasses Triumph In College Tournament
With many shrieks and yells
from the side lines and tribe
spirit beaming forth 'from every
one’s face, the soccer tournament
ended in a buzz of excitement.
Yes, from the very first game all
the tribes fought hard to win,
never giving up nor showing lack
of good sportsmanship. It was
impossible to tell which tribe
would win until the very last
game. Congratulations to the Hi-
wassee tribe!
The Varsity and “M” Club
game on Thanksgiving Day was
also a very exciting game. Both
of the teams had grand players,
but neither team scored.
Now that cold weather is here
(Brrr!!), indoor sports are much
more appealing. These games will
be in Anderson Chapel for a
while, but plans are being made
to use the lower part of the cafe
teria for this purpose as soon as
it can be heated.
Basketball will be the main
sport after Christmas, so they are
now having beginners’ classes for
those who have never played be
fore. If you don’t know how to
play just go down to these
classes. The game is easy to learn
and loads of fun!
Speaking of basketball, I hear
that our gym is going to be heated
this winter, so we will have a
nice, warm place to play in this
year. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
The gym has also undergone quite
a few other changes since last
year.
BASKETBALL BEGINS AFTER APACHES
TAKE SOCCER HONORS
Old man winter has settled in
Montreat for the year and soccer
has been placed on the shelf
until another glorious season rolls
around. The Apaches walked off
with first place honors in the
tournament with the Blackfeet
right on their heels. The Chick-
asaws and Sequoias tied for third
place and the Shawnees, even
with all their fine playing, were
the last in line.
The climax of the season was
at Thanksgiving when the Var
sity team met the “M” Club and
defeated them for the first time
in four years.
Another exciting moment came
when the Junior and Senior
teams fought it out in a thrilling
night game. The same night the
Board, “M” Club, and Miss Mc-
Elroy gave a party and initiated
all the new Board and “M” Club
members. The moans and screams
you heard should have been evi
dence enough of how the party
turned out.
Basketball lessons are being
given for all girls that have never
played before. If you’re among
this group, be sure to go down
and practice because the points
your tribe makes in basketball
go a long way towards the “M”
and the much cherished athletic
cup.
Martha Guy Chosen
“ Miss Polly Posture”
I was shocked when I beheld
just in front of me a creature, for
surely it was alive, whose chin
was resting on its chest, shoulders
were rounded, and each of its
feet was walking toward each
other. This amused me greatly,
and I laughed and laughed until
I realized with horrified amaze
ment that this, this creature was
ME!! Have you looked at your
self in a mirror lately??? Because
of all these stoops and sway backs
around the campus, the High
School Athletic Board sponsored
a posture campaig:n last week
Everyone was observed during
that week, and the girl showing
the most improvement and hav
ing the best posture was named
“Miss Polly Posture.” This title
went to Martha Guy. Mrs. W. H.
Armistead v/a.s also selected as
having the best posture from the
faculty. Congratulations to both
of them. Now that we are all go
ing home in a day or two for
Christmas, let’s be posture con
scious. The way we sit, stand, lie,
walk, hold ourselves can make us
healthy'and happy (if we do them
right). A “Polly Posture” is pop
ular! A “Droop” is a drip!
“Let It Snow”—
The Athletic Board is planning
a party for some night in the near
future; however, there is one con
dition connected with it. The
ground must be covered with
snow. The Board members are
eagerly awaiting the time when
they will get together for a gay
ole’ time sled riding and enjoy
ing lucious food on a lovely
moonlight night.

HUMILITY
I will not judge another’s depth
of love;
That’s a decision for God above.
I will not say, “You have told a
lie”;
That’s a matter for the One on
high.
I will not cry out the sins of my
foe;
He may have reasons that I don’t
know.
I will not say that I am right and
you are wrong;
I may have to change my words
’ere long.
I’ll not be haughty and condemn
the sinner’s way;
After all, who am I to say?
Only god. Who, in His power, is
yet kind.
Is able to pierce the human mind.
Only He can judge whose heart is
pure;
His ways alone are always sure.
And I, wretched mortal, made
blind with sin.
Must search my sinful heart with
out, within,
