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 with a purchase of this new giant size BRITEN TOOTH PASTE Murry be fore they're ell gone!

Phone 5 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.

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. —§—B H—§— 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. —§—B H—§— 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.

Phone 70 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.
