No. 2 Vol. XV FEBRUARY 26, 1935 l in Appreciation l Armour-'5 basketball team has just completed, the most successful season the Institute has seen 1 in many years, and the school has cause to be‘ proud of it. Not only have its members achieved i an impressive total of games won, but they are l distinctly the sort of men that We like to have1 representing Armour. We are indeed fortunate in having such a team, and we are still more for-l tunatc in that only two regulars will be lost by graduation this June. These two will be graduated, leaving behind, them, in common with a number of other seniors, college careers that have been notably successful. , They have taken an active part in the life. of the , school, and in doing so, entirely aside from all; considerations as to the tangible worth of extra-‘ curricular activities, they have shown themselves ‘ to possess something in the character line a little better than the average. , At Armour there is almost a student dis-inter» , est in athletics; a count of the spectators at last Friday’s game would convince anyone of that.: Moreover, athletics are harder at Armour thanl at most other schools, because the course of study ‘, is harde ' and requires more time; and there are‘ few, if any, Armour students who don’t put their l studies first in their college activities. The l United States is full of young people who are‘ going to college to have a good time, but they, are mainly located where the good times are most i plentiful. There is, of course, plenty of enjoyment in i going to Armour; the members of our basketball team will, no doubt, long remember this season , for the fun it has been, and in fact, all of those who take part in the numerous activities of the: school enjoy themselves while doing so. ‘ But with all this, there is probably a higher curricular activities at Armour than is usually? the case. Thus, playing on our basketball team, or singing in the glee club, or working on the" Tech News, involves a great deal of effort without 3 much tangible remuneration, although we are all l agreed that the results of the work are worthl while. i It is the sort of man who is Willing to do that: . sort of work, who is willing to spend long hoursl 1" at something.r for which he, is receiving no mater— . ial pay, that is the sort of man who makes the worthwhile achievements of the world. A man who has a reputation for being of that sort, for being: self-sacri/ic[7711, will surely always be in‘ demand. Not only have the men of our basketball team l shown themselves self—sacrificing, they have} shown themselves courageous, last—ditch fighters} The six-hundred Armour students who failed tol see our last game missed the best game of thel season and one of the best ever. Those who did l see it are proud of Armour, and, although the' score was not in our favor, we’re satisfied that ours was the better team. } 1-, percentage of actual work to taking" part in extra- t " ARMOUR TECH NEWS N w WWW a Cleave to “The Slipstick"; let the Slapstick fly where it may. a, s. m % “The blipstick” é How can anybody see A gain in taking Chemislry.
