A student will be gin to pailicipate in various athletic* just for the fun he gets ont of them, but he is unconsciously lettering himself not only in muscle but along edneation a lines. Quick thinkind, sound reasoning, and an unmistakeable eyesight are very es sential in plsying all athletics. One playing base ball must have an unmis takable eye sight because it is necessary in order to be a g<»od batter. Any base ball coach will say, “If a man can bat, he can be easily taught to play.’’ Quick thinking is very essential in the plaviug of foot ball. In order to better yourself along educational lines quick thinking, sound leasotnng, and an un mistakable eye sight are necessary- We know this to be t’ue because good observance is necessary to be a real stu dent, and quick thinking, sc und reason ii g, Hnd the unmistakable eye-sight are the constituents of good observance. A college man’s duty is to learn as much as possible the higher things of life, and these can be learned only by good observance, and the grit to stick to and win, which are highly developed by participating in athletics, Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Stroud, of Farm ngton, Ga., were in the last week n attendance upon the marriage of Miss Ruth Murden. HELP IT CROW No. 31
