_Basketball_--Our girls have played three games since the last report
and have won one of them, losing the others by a single point in each
instance.
_Tennis_--The two new tennis courts which have been in course of
construction were opened on Friday, June 3rd, and a great number took
advantage of the sport provided.
A tournament is being planned. Judging by the number of entrants, it
should be a great success.
LET'S FORGET IT
BY J. PREST
_If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless and proud,
And you know of a tale whose mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head in grief to be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it._
_If you know of a skeleton hidden away
In a closet, and guarded, and kept from the day,
In the dark, and whose showing, whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong dismay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it._
_If you know of a thing that will darken the joy
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy,
That will wipe out a smile or leastway annoy,
Or cause a fellow any gladness to cloy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it._
How much brighter and how much more joyful would this old world be if we
all got together and practised that old adage, "Do unto others as ye
would that they do unto you."
This world is too full of sorrow and pain already, and we are all too
ready to condemn when we ought to condone.
What is the matter with us anyway? If one has taken a false step in the
past, is there any reason why they should be given the "cold shoulder,"
especially when they are endeavouring to lead a straight life?
Man or woman is entitled to a square deal, no matter what the past may
have been.
Once the turning point has been passed between right and wrong, and a
firm endeavor is made to keep to the "narrow way," then let us help and
encourage instead of raking up the past and by so doing help wreck a
human soul.
We are all human; many are subject to temptations from which others are
immune. It is usually a case of environment, therefore judge not your
neighbor harshly.
Let's all try to practice the suggestions in the above poem; let's judge
fellow beings by the present--not by the past.
Masquerade Baseball Match Amuses
A big turn-out marked this amusing event on Saturday, June 11th, at the
Company's grounds. About two hundred marched from the store, headed by a
comic jazz band, dressed in almost every conceivable sort of costume.
On arrival at the baseball grounds the fun began in earnest. A troop of
horsemen proved a circus in itself. No less than nine fiery chargers in
the persons of Messrs. Crockett, Ferris, Edwards, Fleming, Arnold,
Plowman, Crockett Jr., and Hardaker, provided fun which was a "scream"
from start to finish.
