WHAT COUNTS IN WINNING
TBE GAME
(By Margaret Galloioay)
The games of football, baseball,
basketball, and the like are not the
only games In which we may par
ticipate. To me, the game of life,
in which we all take part. Is the great
est of all games.
Many things count in the winning
of this game of life. To be able to
make something of ourselves we must
have certain qualities In our characters
to make us win the game of life. We
must have certain qualities emotional,
social, and intellectual to give us the
will-power to win this game. There
are certain qualities that people have
had who have won the game of life,
but that does not necessarily mean that
we must have all of the following
qualities to be a success.
First, we should have a general
tendency to be cheerful. We should
not be grouchy. We need a certain
degree of humor in order to have a
well-balanced attitude toward life.
We should have friends. On the
other hand, we should not be extroverts

and live outside ourselves, but we
should have a certain degree of In
troversion. One of the most Important
emotional traits we should have Is
belief in ourselves. We should have
confidence In ourselves and know we
have the power to do the job we are
undertaking.
Most of the qualities mentioned In
the preceding paragraph are emotional
qualities. Now I shall turn to the
social traits which count. We should
like companionship; also we should
try to get along with even the most
Impossible people. We should join in
activities with them and make them
our friends. We should be trustworthy
and honest and feel as If we could
be trusted by anyone and, most of all,
be trusted by ourselves.
Now come the intellectual, traits,
which are very Important. We should
have good common sense In addition
to having book sense. Some people
who are bubbling over with book sense
are empty to the extent of common
sense. We should have original, but
sensible ideas, and a certain degree
of creativcncss. Another good quality
to develop is a good memory. Then
we should reserve a certain amount
of our time for work aside from our
usual studies. Another important trait
that we should develop Is self-criticism.
We should always consider well what
we are doing; and then, if it is not
satisfactory, we should criticize our
selves for our mistakes.
Of course, much could be said about
this subject, but I consider these few'
emotional, social, and intellectual tralt3
the most important in winning the
game of life.

SENIOR INJURED IN ACCIDENT
(By Lois Moore)
It was with regret that the students
and faculty of Brevard high school
learned of the serious injury which
Louise Gravely, a member of the grad
uating class, suffered in an automobile
accident last week. Miss Gravely re
ceived a fracture at the base of the
skull, as well as other less serious in
juries. The entire school group wishes
for I,oui.se a speedy recovery and an
e.nrlv return to her work.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
(By nale Chamberlain)
George Washington, the first pres
ident of the United States, was a real
character. We are very apt to forget
that such a man actually lived, for
wc always associate him with the dead,
misty past. It isn't until we are well
into high school that we begin to sus
pect the authenticity of his existence.
But a reference to Washington will still
evoke from most of us only a hazy
vision of a man with lofty countenance
and white powdered wig who chopped
down a cherry tree in his youth and
would not tell a lie.
George Washington wfas remarkable
as a man of enormous energy governed
by a cool and steady brain. His In
flexible sense of Justice can be com
pared only to that of Lincoln. In peace
time as well as wartime, his ability as
a leader was extraordinary' Even to
day one is inspired by his serious,
masterful countenance that seems to
hold in check a wealth of power and
might. It will be well to give a
thought today to the man who, 208
years ago, was born to give our Amer
ica the Inspiration to become a great
nation.

STUDENTS HEAR MR. BILLVPS
Bob Huggins
The Rev. E. P. Billups was guest
speaker at the assembly period Thurs
day. Mr. Billups, in view of Lincoln's
birthday, appropriately chose this great
man for his subject and read with un
derstanding Ida M. Tarbell’s deeply
human poem, "He Knew Lincoln."

MILLS RIVER DEFEATS BREVARD
By Sarah Hester Fowler
The Mills River boys and girls easily
defeated the Brevard basketball teams
Thursday night.
The Mills River girls were like red
flashes as they darted here and there
making enough points to keep ahead
of the Brevard girls from beginning to
end. Although the Brevard girls played
hard, they were outplayed by the op
posing team. McKinney of Mills Riv
er led her team with 17 points. Ben
nett and Fowler scored 4 points each
for Brevard.
In the boys' game Cagle of Mills
River was the high scorer with 9
points. Carland was second, looping 7
points. At the half the Brevard boys
had only 1 point, but scored 11 more the
second half, making a final score of 21
12. Both teams played fine ball with
Mills River leading from start to fin
ish.

ON THE COURT WITH "HANK"
By Henry Carland
Robert Jackson is on a sit-down
strike until he grows a little, so he can
get up in the air like McCrary from
Hendersonville.
Cecile "Ballet Dancer” Gevedon can
get around better, now that he has
been taking dancing lessons.
Robert “Snagfoot" Tinsley surely does
like to play basketball. This boy would
almost walk two blocks to get to prac
tice.
I guess the Hendersonville band
would love to suck lemons now that the
boys from Brevard have shown them
how It is done.
Lonnie Jones has the big head now
and will not travel to the games with
the rest of the boys; he had rather
drive Rooster Slniard’s car.
A. J. Parker, the "Bad Boy" from
Pisgnh Forest, is now on a diet so
that he can reduce. He may get to play
some this time next year if he gets rid
of some fat.
We play two games here this Thurs
day and Friday, so root for us, folks,
we’ll need it.

BREVARD BREAKS EVEN WITH
HENDERSONVILLE
By Jean Bennett
Friday night the Brevard Blue Devil?
split a fast and furious double bill
with Hendersonville’s brightly clad
Bearcats. The blrls from Brevard were
ah<yid throughout the game, though
their victory (30-27) was far from a
“walkaway." The boys played a hard
game, too, but lost 13-33. Both games
proved to be exciting and very rough—
a total of 46 fouls being called in the
girls’ game.
It took a while for the two Blue Devil
teams to accustom themselves to the
large, slick floor, because two steps
and a push sent the player all the way
down the floor. But after a while the
sliding helped rather than hindered.
For the girls, forward Thelma Dan
iels was high pointer, with 17 points.
Bob Jackson made 6 points for the
boys.
A large crowd attended the game, in
cluding many adults from Brevard.
Also the Hendersonville school band
made a fine showing at the games and
served to increase the excitement of the
crowd and the players.

Who's Who at Brevard high school |
this week:
Suit Case— j
The plaintiff. Paula Mae. has filed
suit against Here and There typist for
making a mistake. She declares that
it was she who said that glamour-boy
Link was always sweet, instead of Hale
Chamberlain’s Bertie Mae.
Trio Mystery—
Persona Involved—Thelma B., Doug
W., and Melba S. Only clue so far—
note to Thelma to answer and return to
Melba, who has her instructions. Sign
ed "Texas”.
Old Faithful—
“Ouis” doesn’t have to be called twice
when Jean B. is involved.
We hope—
The junior-senior banquet is just|
around the comer, unless the juniors]
decide otherwise.
Leap in' Lena's Love—
It might have been cold n the rum
ble seat, but Lonnie was there. Who
was she?
Missing Harries—
Who’s missing? Mary Will and Jack
H.
Who’s missing them? Robert T. and
Katie S.
Cupid Strikes—
Carl, have a “Hart". Marie’s on
hand, and Cupid’s busy, "Faithful For
ever."
Who else but Dot M. and Herman
R.? And they’re still going strong.
Anonymous—
Comic valentines—Bob, see “Snooks"
for revenge.
Coincidence?—
Does it just happen that Robert J.
sits by Sarah Hester in three classes?
I wonder.
Ponder’s Ponderings—
Does N. L. think as much about Mary
Alice H. as vice versa.? More power to
you, Mary Alice.
Robbing the Cradle—
Mutt, have you had a letter from
I Chapel Hill lately? Gone but not for
gotten.
Suspect
Wee Willie Wilson—what went on
up at the M.D.’s—good-looking doctor
or sompin’?
Two-timer—
That's Grace M. Did you see “them"
at the game Tuesday afternoon while
Jack wasn’t looking? The other half
of *them’ was James G.
Honorable Mention—
Wonder what junior boy Patsy hat
ed to leave. Anyway, Mrs. Wike
changed her seat in study hall.
Just a college “twerp”—
That’s why Jeanne H. broke the date
for Saturday night. Are you disap
pointed, Twerp?
Pastimes—
Odell McCall's—Robert Head
Junior Miller’s — Kathleen Wilson
(show good?)
Helen Pick’s — Bob Gash
Jim McRae’s—making fudge
Jacky Wiley’s—snow balling
Margie Perry’s—just anything
Ruth Osborne’s—keeping a diary
Necia Galloway’s—passing notes to
Hazel and Margaret.
You’re the jury. Did you say that
was enough? Court’s adjourned ’til
next week.
Correction
It has been brought to my attention
that, inadvertantly, a perfectly under
standable bit of misinformation slip
ped into the Here and There a week
ago. It seems that one Bertie Mae Orr
and one Charles Link were paired. For
the sake of accuracy, as well as my
own, I hereby refute this statement.
The esteemed C. L. is more properly
to be associated with Paula Mae
Smathers, and last week’s News should
have been to this effect. The staff ex
tends its most profound apologies to
Bertie M. Orr and Paula M. Smath
ers.
