We have been climbing steadily in the past years toward scholarship; but we have not as yet acquired a desire for obtaining high marks.  We indulge more in athletics than we do in study.  we think that it has more effect on our friends.  We secretly wish to give more time for our studies, but we think we cannot take time for that. Last year one of the Broadalbin girls won a scholarship which will help her through four years of college.  We like to boast to other cities about it; but we do not like really to try ourselves for this high honor.  Also last year we  turned our more college entrance diplomas than either Gloversville or Johnstown.  We could do this for many years to come if we only would keep this spirit and try to be honest with ourselves. M. L.    ************* ************* SCHOLARSHIP VERSUS ATHLETICS An article appeared in one of our leading newspapers a short time ago featuring the question, "Can we have athletics in our schools and still have good scholarship?"  The article said that we could not.  It reasoned that the pupils would have their minds on the games and neglect their studies.  It remarked that the energy used in this way could be put to better uses.  It also brought to the attention of the public the large amount of money spent for athletics and physical instructors.  The article argued that this was a waste of money which could be used for educational purposes that would benefit the student much more. We believe differently.  In order that we may participate in the athletic activities, we must maintain a fairly good grade average in the majority of our studies.  In order that we may have a good average, our minds must be on our lessons at least part of the time.  Athletics makes our senses keener and teaches our muscles to coordinate; and we certainly need these advantages if we intend to become a success in later life.  We do not consider the physical instructor unnecessary as he teaches our young folk how to exercise and use their muscles and bodies correctly.  He also teaches the pupils fair play which is essential in their lives.  Thus we believe that athletics are beneficial, and we sincerely hope they will continue in our school. F. K.    ************* ************* RESULTS OF GOOD SCHOLARSHIP We all know that, after graduating from high school, our chance to get a good position depends upon the ability that we have to hold the position.  The chance to receive this ability is to do our work well in school. While in high school, there are many of us who are smart as the class leaders.  But because we neglect our studies, our average is very low; and when it comes to examinations, we who do not flunk them, pass by just a few points; we think that is good enough as long as we can graduate.  We never think of graduating with honors.  If we are wise enough to look forward to the future, we will work hard; but if our lessons are neglected, when we graduate, we will  then observe how foolish we have been to let our studies slide. When we apply for a position, our employers will first ask us about our education and how well our work has been prepared during our education.  Then when we look back over our school days, we will realize how foolish or how wise we have been. Good scholarship, for the mere opportunity to obtain a position, is by far not the most important during our life.  After obtaining a good position, we who have worked hard in school will probably strive to hold the position.  We who have always let our studies slide will probably, also, let our work slide, and as a result we will never be of any benefit to our community or to the world.
