SCHOOL SPIRIT What is school spir’t? Although your defi- nition OF IT may DIFFER FROM MINE, I THINK that school spirit is an intangible air of UNITY, FELLOWSHIP, AND COOPERATION WHICH PER- VADES THROUGHOUT THE STUDENT BOCY, THESE QUALITIES ARE EXPRESSED THROUGH YOU, THE STU- DENTS, IN VARIOUS WAYS—INITIATIVE IN PREPAR- ATION OF ASSIGNMENTS, COURTESY IN THE CLASS ROOMS AND HALLS, AND PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL ACTIVI TIES. The COORDINATION OF THESE QUALITIES, UNITY OF FELLOWSHIP, AND COOPERATION IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF SCHOOL LIFE, IT iS '.N THE CLASS- ROOM THAT WE ARE TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCi: OF POSSESSING THESE ESSENTIALS Or GIVIZENSHIP. These qualities are not only necessary dur- ing OUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER BUT THEY SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED AND RETAINED AFTER THE STUDENT IS GRADUATED AND BECOMES A MEMBER OF SOCIETY, TO YOU WHEN A JOB IS PLACED BEFORE YOU AND YOU DO! KNOW WHAT TO DO, JUST SET YOUR M|ND TO WORK AND THINGS WILL FOLLOW THROUGH. NOW WITH T' THOUGHT IN MIND TI!E ANNUAL STAFF BEGAN TO IK ON A PAPER ’’HAT THEY COULD pPESENT TO YOU Wl THE FEELING THAT THEY HAD NOT TOILED IN VAIN.

BETA CLUB The National Beta Club is a non-secret, honorary scholarship-service organization for high school students or America Its objects are: To encourage scholarship: To promote character; and to stimulate leadership among its members The purpose or this organization shall be the promotion or scholastic excellence and the cultivation or the ideals or loyalty, courage, honesty and leadership among high school students The Membership is limited to those students or the junior and senior classes whose scholastic standing is sufficiently creoitable to indicate superior mental quali- fications No student, however, may attain membership without the recommendation of the administrative head of the local high school The Beta Club is not anti 1 anything; it is in competition with no educational system or organization; it has no purpose except to assist teachers and students to consummate the eno and aim or ALL true education namely, mental enlargement and character development It is an eleemosynary organization controlled and di- rected BY EDUCATORS WHO ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN EDUCATIONAL WORK. The Local Chapter was chartered in 1937. The first Flomaton High School Year-Book WAS SPONSORED BY THE BETA CLUB THIS CHAPTER HAS ALSO GIVEN MANY BOOKS TO THE Library. Members have served as student librarians and in other capacities A SPONSOR1S AIM SHOULD EVER BE: To feel in every faltering speech the pulses of a heart on fire With zeal for goals it longs to reach, Yet hesitates to dare aspire To WIN for fear of Failure s scorn-—and yet dreams on of joys unborn; To catch your gleam of youthful pride, Your thrill in explorations findings, Your love of action, power untried, Your roseate dreams of life s attainings. Your faith unsmirched by greed and shame, your hopes for well deserved fame; To guide you in your search for truth, encourage when your way SEEMS BLEAK, And comfort when your untried youth unequal proves for what you seek; For yours is life at worst and best, Nurtured by hope, yet ne er at rest
