HAPPINESS
Whatever may be the temporary ap-
plause of men, or the expression of pub-
lic opinion, it remains nevertheless, self-
evident that no true and permanent
happiness can be found save in the
honest labors which promise the happi-
ness of mankind. Happiness in this world,
when it comes, comes incidentally. Make
it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a
wild “goose chase,” and is never attained.
Follow some other object, and very pos-
sibly you may find that you have caught
happiness without dreaming of it. But,
likely enough, it is gone the moment we
say to ourselves, “Here it is !” For when
happiness is discovered it becomes ruin-
ous to accomplishment. Few men can
produce their best work when bathed in
a mood of expansive cheer. A touch of
unhappiness, of concern, of discontent
is essential to vigorous enterprise and
achievement. When everything is going
with beautiful smoothness in a man’s
daily life, his work immediately shows
the result of it. Fie slacks up a trifle ; he
takes a bit too much for granted; he
slides back, however, imperceptibly. It
is when things are not exactly “hotsy
totsy” that he produces the best that is
in him.
Our whole concern, therefore, should
be earnestly to engage ourselves in our
pursuits and endeavors; and true happi-
ness, though not at all times perfectly
obvious, will surely be the natural con-
sequence. If there are any gifts that the
gods have bestowed on men, it is surely
reasonable to suppose that happiness is
one of them and with most men, it would
certainly rank as the highest and best.
ATHLETIC FINANCES
Brother Michael Huebert is surely
making things hum as regards the finan-
cial end of athletic activities. He has a
tough job on his hands, but we know
chat anything left in Brother Michael’s
hands is always a success, so we are
resting easy.
JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS
On Tuesday, October 13th, the Juniors
met to discuss class activities and to elect
officers for the academic year After some
deliberation it was deemed unnecessary
to hold an election and it was unani-
mously agreed that last years officers
were well fitted for their positions, as
they had proven by their leadership and
the success of class undertakings last
year.
The Officers are, President, Otto Rich-
ter; Vice-President, James McGinley;
Secretary, R. Beverly Caldwell.
These men are all so well known to us
that we think it unnecessary to dwell or-
their various and numerous merits or
their popularity.
The Juniors, at present the highest
class in college, are planning some big
things of which the school at large will
hear later. It holds the distinction of be-
ing the first college class since the reorg-
anization of that department and will
possibly furnish candidates for the first
degrees to be conferred by the institution
The members include, Otto Richter,
James McGinley, R. Beverly Caldwell,
Paul Daily, Clement Holzhaus, and Rich-
ard Harn.
ST. MARY’S BUTTONS
Owing to the scarcity of players in
the II and III Divisions, the Board de-
cided to combine the two and form a
Junior team with which to enter the
Junior Academic League of the City.
Brother Joseph Lanfer was selected
as coach because of his past success with
the III Division teams. For the last three
years this division has lost only one game
which is indeed an enviable record, espe-
cially when we consider that they were
invariably outweighed by their opponents
On the amalgamation of the divisions,
Hector Palaez, captain of the III Divi-
sion turned in his resignation and after
the usual daily practice an election was
held. John Cain, last year’s leader of the
St. Mary’s Academy second team was
unanimously elected captain.
A light but scrappy little team is being
developed. Bro. Joseph is confident that
it will keep up the enviable reputation
that it has made during the past season.

RATTLERS DEFEAT SILENTS
The Rattlers have already applied four
coats of white-wash to opposing teams.
On Saturday, October 17th, they applied
the fourth brush of calsomine to the Deaf
Mutes from Austin.
McCarty ran his team in great style
and the credit for the 38-0 victory be-
longs in a large measure to him. Four
passes were accurately hurled by the
little quarterback into the waiting arms
of the Rattler ends.
The first touchdown was the result of
a 30 yard pass from McCarty to English
in the first quarter. The second touch-
down also came in the first quarter wnen
Thomas blocked a punt and Schleicher
recovered in back of the Silent’s goal. A
pass to English from Brotze made the
extra point. In the second quarter the
Rattlers added two touchdowns, the
first of which was made by Jordt on a
line buck, and the second being an exact
duplicate of the first touchdown of the
game. The half ended with the score
standing; Rattlers—25, Silents—o.
As in the first two quarters the Ratt-
lers succeeded in adding two more touch-
downs in the third quarter. Another pass
to English brought the first score of the
last half while a pass to Kozelski fur-
nished the last score of the game.
The Silent’s showed their pluck and
fighting spirit by tightening up in the
final period and doing some threatening
themselves. Throughout the game the
Silent’s brought the stands to their teet
by their clean and beautiful tackling and
by their gameness.
