The people, who like athletics in
this section, should be proud that we
have a clean, Christian, sportsman
like Coach Morris as our coach. Coach
Morris is loved by all who know him
on and off the athletic field. As a
coach his equal can hardly be found.
He places his love in the boys that
play for him and influences them to
play clean games at all times. He
carries the love and good wishes of
all the students and friends into ev
ery game he supervises.
Coach Morri s attended Boy’s High
School iir Atlanta. He later starred
on the Oglethorpe University's foot
ball, basketball ■ ancl baseball teams.
After graduating from Oglethorpe, he
went to Norman Institute as coach,
where Jie made a splendid record in
ail branches of athletics- In the fall
of 1928 he came to M. G. C., to serve
as coach of this Institution..
Three years ago athletics were-
hardly known hero. With Coach Mor
ris' faithfulness, his keen apprecia
tion of clean sports, we won the ma
jority of our games. He has confi
dence in those boys who make the
team and they fight., to gain the best
record for him and their Alum Mater.
The Georgia Athletic Conference
was organized five year s -ago and in
that time, Coach Morris’ teams have
won two football championships and
tied tiie other three. His team hasn't
lost a Conference game, but fie
games have kept him from winning
first place three years. His basket
ball team went to the final game of
the tournament last year losing to
Norman Junior College by throb
points. The baseball team won the
baseball championship in 1929. •
We love you Coach and always try
to back you in anything you under
take.
EMERGENCIES
Parents, teachers, pupils of M, G.
C., we are in the business of mould
ing character. As we face the now
year, 1931, let us take stock that we
may know exactly what we are do
ing. Changes come faster today than
ever before. The regrets and em-
.barrassmems of yesterday will be
repeated if we are not capable of
changing with this fast age. In spite
i ° r tbe changes; disappointments, and
| depressions we stili have each other.
Ill' we have lost, alt else, we still have
each other. If this appreciation is
properly educated, and properly di
rected, we will care less for our ma
teria! losses and more of our mutual
relations. ‘ t
Parents, teachers, pupils' of M. G.
C., we are too indifferent of each
other. We have blinding affections
but we do not let each other under
stand- them, We do not take the pains
to convince each other of our real
feelings. Many of us grow taint be
cause we do not understand your real
affections. We are dying for a little
bit of your interest and attention.
Will 1931 find you tlie same cold,
relentless iceburg you have always
been? Why are you not able to change
with this flying age? All our ills can
be cured with one balm, even this,
on acknowledged mutual appreciation
Parents, teachers, pupil s of M. G.
(’., your history of 1930 has declared
you the heirs of earth's choicest
blessings because your highest am
bition is to put first things first. Your
future history all depends upon your
bolding and cultivating that ambition.
Amur greatest needs can be obtained
| only through united cooperative ef-
j fort. Your business of character mol
ding demands yotir best efforts, your
most sympathetic maneuvering, in
deed, Heaven’s overruling power to
accomplish the desired ends. May
you stay happy in your Heaven-given
task.

The Football Boys

A bachelor never knows what a
reckless driver he is because there
is no one to tell him.
The first successful descent in a
parachute recorded in history was
made by tiio Chinese Emperor Shun,
more than 2,200 years before Christ:
During the three years Coach Jake
Morris ha s been at M. G. C. his foot-
b'alh'feaihs has lost only three games
jrnd tied four out of twenty-nine
played. This year's team shows im
provement over last year's, the lino
especially as we haven’t tied a single
game the whole year.
The 1928 "records show ten games
played; eight won; one lied anil one
lost. In 1929, out of ten games played
we won six and tied four. And tin
year’s record shows seven vb-inrie >
and two defeats out of nine ; ; unes.-
