(Staff Photos) Athletes Honored At Monogram Club Banauet Friday night was a time Of recognition and a time of praise for efforts well expended and players, coaches, cheer lead ers, and others heard their work lauded and received awards for their efforts at the annual Monogram Club Ban quet at the John Graham High School cafeteria. WflMiflMlnfl tt.? -affair ?p?n. sored annually by the John Graham Boosters Club, was a brief talk by Fred Tullai, as sistant football coach at the University of North Carolina. He was introduced by W. A. Miles, Jr. The three great values of ^ athletics, Tullai, are the devel opment of a competitive spirit the learning of self-discipline, and the value of team work. Without a competitive spirit accomplishments will be little on the athletic field or in the business of making a living, he said. Their must be a desire to win, a love of competition, he added. No athlete can be success ful unless he is able to dis cipline himself, the speaker continued. He must, of course, ?wpnt the discipline imposed upon him by his coaches and the training rale, bui in addi tion he must learn to dis cipline himself. Athletic ability is important, but nnloM the ability is chan neled into team work it will count for little, Tullai said. A football team, he said, is no place for individual stars, and unless a player is willing to sacrifice his own aggrandize ment for the good of the team! he has no place on that team. This training on the athletic field, he added, will serve a person well in life. But as fine as are the values taught on the athletic field, Tullai concluded, they can count for nothing unless there is academic excellence. No matter how great an athlete may he he will have little chance to show his skill unless he keeps up with his lessons. Schools are becoming more and more selective, Tullai pointed out, and no boy has a chance for a scholarship at a first rate school unless he is a good student. He said that ho knew this lesson was too late for boys and girls of the grad uating class, but he hoped that students in the lower grades (See MONOGRAM, page 2) -Three Rising Seniors Are Named DAR Good Citizens Three Warren County High Ichool girls have been selected ts D.
