WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ZELDA? One day, as I feverishly wracked my unimaginative brain for some idea for an ' editorial ' , (needless to say my experience in this direction has been nil) for some reason I suddenly remembered Zelda. Whatever happened to Zelda? I asked numerous people around Traf after I had searched in all the nooks and crannies I could think of, without success. The replies I received were various. The last time I saw her she was in the corner of the changing room under some mats and, Wasn ' t she on the back stairs for a while? No one seemed to know. Abruptly my search came to an end, however, when I spoke to a certain Fifth Former. Oh, Zelda! I remember her! We used to hang her out the window by the neck in Third Form! We stole her uniform and hid it too! (Ha Ha) I think she died hanging from the coat rack, so they must have thrown her out in the garbage. Thank you, I said. I had satisfied my curiosity at any rate. Oh. forgive me! Many of you who have never had the pleasure of meeting this extraordinary character must be saying, What or who on earth was Zelda? Well, my fellow Trafites, Zelda was a rag doll - not just any rag doll, but our School ' s mascot - the embodiment of the Traf spirit. And what happened to her? She was thrown out in the garbage! Who was responsible for her neglect and ' death ' ? All of us. Traf girls created and then destroyed Zelda just as all of us together have the power to make or break Traf as a school. Do you think a school is made of the size of its gym or the taste of its food? Of course not! Our School is what you and I make it with our school spirit - or lack of it. Next year, if all goes well, you vnll have a beautiful new building with a huge gym and a cafeteria, among other things (you lucky devils !). What will there be to complain about then? What wOl there be to blame a lack of school spirit on? No matter how wonderful the new buUding is, you will find some- thing - such as oxfords, or a teacher you don ' t like - until you realize that Traf- ites, if anything or anyone, are the ones to complain about. Whether we like the idea or not, we only get as much out of Traf as we put into it. Remember when you first heard we had raised $1,500.00 from the Bazaar? After all that work, didn ' t you feel some pride in our School? Of course you did! If you weren ' t at that basketball game where the Junior Team pulled up from behind in the last quarter to defeat the Study, you missed something! There was no lack of Traf spirit in the yelling, stomping, and cheering for our team then ! Every now and then Trafalgar ' s school pride shows up, but the spirit has to come from inside everyone to liven up the School and make happy the years anyone spends at it. Whether the name ' Trafalgar ' will represent something good or bad to a student or an outsider is every single Trafite ' s responsibility. With a new building and renovations in the old one, you are being given a new chance to build up your School spirit. We connot bring poor old Zelda back to life ,but you could get together and make a new Zelda to welcome the new building. Why don ' t you? Elizabeth Pigot, Editor
