"Virtue Lies in the Struggle
The EHS Indians have fought many hard battles and won
many honors. This year, they won the coveted Boomer con-
ference, trophy, and entered the regional basketball playoffH,
but it was not in the stars for them to be victorious there.
Everyone in EHS is justly proud of the boys on our fine
basketball team for their clean sportsmanship, fighting
spirit and ability to take defeat like the champions they
really are. As the famous author Richard Milnes said, “The
virtue lies in the struggle, not in the prize.”
The Indians came home, last Saturday, battle-scarred and
weary, but not as defeated underdogs, for the fighting spirit
they possess cannot be defeated.
We are looking forward to seeing next year’s edition of
the Indians equal and surpass the record of this year’s team
and for them to be serious contenders for the state cham-
pionship trophy.—Gordon Hired).
