Humility, "Wherefore Art Thou?"

the eyes of my accusers, was wholl y un dignified and detrimental to
my character. What was this misdemeanor? I offered my services to
carry a heavy box of merchandise a few blocks to a lad y '^ s house. It
seems "peop le would talk " and gossip because of this humble kindness
an d I would have a black mark against my social standin g in that
community.
"W hat are p eople going to think? What are peop le going to
say?" What has happened to the people when they do not know the
difference between good and evil?
It is a belief of society that the teachings of Christ are still followed and believed in with all sincerity and honesty. Can this absurdity
be correct? When neig hbor spies on neig hbor , sister is jealous of
sister , relatives envious of relatives — is this the fruit of Christianity ?
Wh y the greatest maxims which He preached and practiced were to
"love th y neig hbor as thyself " and to be humble.
But humility , humility wherefore art thou? What is the it that
makes a society g irl different than an everyday common workday girl?
Wh y is a banker different from the junk man? Perhaps the "it " is
money. But how can it be? There is many a junk man who possesses
twenty times as much money as the banker. Perhaps it is happiness
that distinguishes the society girl from the average girl ; but look
closely. That girl in her plain clothes and simple way of living seems
to be smiling and carefree — she can be happy. Happ iness is for those
who know now to find it , not for a select few.
Then if there can be no material difference , there is nothing left
but to consider the spiritual qualities. But we cannot measure these
qualities. In fact , society can never hope to know all the truth about
its individuals, that is for the eternal judge ; so why this constant
bickering , gossiping, make-believing.
Perhaps man is too weak to live in reality. There must be that
element of make believe or we could not go on in this "hard " world.
But don 't condemn the humble in spirit , the humble in action. And , if
the truth must be known , the proud and the high standing individuals
should not be talked about either, for who are we to do the jud ging ,
the condemning »— who is there among you to cast the first stone?
Society is what you make it. If you will strive to improve yoursel f , the world around you will improve, Our actions are constantly
reflected back to us; it takes onl y one rotten apple to ruin the whole
stock.
Let us remember this fundamental truth : Love and a continual
and unending flow of good will toward all men , is the only force
(Michael Bell )
which lasts , and the only power which prevails.

the Kingfish of Louisiana, Huey

The Huskies battled right down to

It took everything in the books to

Coach Tom Crist even order ed a
freezing act as early as the third
Quarter to use up time while he
rested two of his starting five for the

In the end , it was the aggressive
play of the losers that cost the ball
game. Numerous fouls gave Shippensburg too many shots from the
cifteen-foot mark, and that made the

The finish was only inches short of
sensational. The Shippers enj oyed an

Ed Jones set the wheels going with

Huskies Show A Drop
In Dunkel Ratin g
The Basketball Power Index , better known as the Dunkel rating system , was first printed in last week' s
paper. That particular article • exr
plained and clarified the way in
which the 'Dunkel system works. In
general , it is a direct comparison of
the relative strength of any two
teams. This standing has d r a w n
considerable attention ; consequently,
since there is this enthusiasm among
the students , the Maroon and Gold
will try to keep you posted as to
B.S.T.C.'s standing in this system.
For the first week of February, the
Husky rating was 45.4, which , put
the locals in third place with West
Chester and Millersville leading respectively. Since then , the Maroon
and Gold have copped two decisions ,
Kutztown and Indiana , and dropped
one to Shippensb urg.

Big Walt Banull, stalwart Husky

forward , went_..on.. a ..s.coiiirig spree to
lead" the Pack to a 68-64 victory over

Indiana State Teachers last Friday
night. The win made the Husky winning streak nine in a row. The game
gave early appearances of being a
rout. After a tight first quarter, the
Huskies piled up a seven point halftime lead, but the third quarter was
all Bl oomsburg. With Bobby Kashner
hitting on set shots from outside , and
Walt Banull scorching the cords with
his hook shots, the Huskies rack ed
up a twenty point lead.
In the fourth quarter , Coach Shelly
yanked his starters to recuperate
from the minor bruises suffered. At
this point the Indians started to find
the range, and the Huskies saw their
lead dwindle to four points. With a

note shows a drop of .4 over last
week. This drop of .4 of a point is

But another warning better by far
Is "Never trust men too near. "
