SHOKING AND BASKETBALL
Thomas A. Young
j .ithietes: .smoking is one of the
! many problems which high schools
throughout the. United States face
! today. This article is primarily
directed at the athletes now en
* rolled at Glennalien High School,
1 but; may interest athletes of other
| schools as we 11.
i : • i . : ;
To begin,, I would like to say
i that i have nothing against smok
I ing or people .who do ,s.rnoke . If they
I wish, it is their privilege to do
j so. However, the big problem at
| Glen High is that some of the bask
| atball players smoke and do not
| wish to sacrifice smoking for bask
j etball. Last year, players smoking
hurt the team more than anything
j else. This year I believe that we
| have enough interest in basketball
| that we could have a quite strong
team. However, those who are now
smoking would no doubt hurt the
| team.
host of the boys already know
that if they are caught smoking,
they will be thrown off the team.
Yet to•some, this means nothing.
Sometimes, I believe that tney think
t hat o ur te am can't ge t along with
out" them. They are dead wrong if
they do think this, as I said earl
ier, we have enough interest in*
basketball this year to make a suc
cessful team even without some of
the boys. If a person smokes and
I intends to play basketball, he had
better make a decision between the
two. If he does keep smoking, then
it .just proves that he has no enthu
siasm for playing ball. .ind , even
if he is not caught, without enthu- (
siasm for the game $ be is worth- very
little on the basketball floor. If
you smoke, can you stop smoking? If
not, you are not an athlete.

Mr. Houghton, building 'custodian at Glen
allen High School, has been f requested by
the Division of Buildings to; live on the \
school grounds. As a result,Mr. Houghton
has moved his trailer, and is presently liv-i
ing near the building. The Division feels !
that since there are no houses close by, it
would be an extra precaution to have the
custodian close to. the school to serve as
a watchman.. • J F • U > ..
