It is more evident in public life than elsewhere because more people are offered opportunity to witness and criticize. It would be hard to give a correct definition of crabbing that would be logical and true. However, crabbing is very undesirable; it' is not necessary to the extent that it is often carried, it combines never bo ing satisfied and trying to lay the blame elsewhere. It is present in the school room and the athletic field. In fact we can detect it everywhere. It becomes a habit that is extremely hard to break but if we desire to be successful and to be looked upon, with respect it must be broken. Always blaming somebody else, never admit ting himself entirely in the wrong is the way of the habitual crabber. "His teacher is no good." "He doesn't get a fair break on the athletic field." "His father won't lend him the car.? "It was his fault." It soon gets tire some to listen to and even more so to be connected with the crabber. If no one else will take them in hand, it may be necessary to apply a lit tle force. This extremely bad habit can be broken by self control and the aid of ones friends. Athletics The Athena boys defeated the Grizzly high team from Helix last Friday night by the score of 33-26.
