A working togetherness toward a certain goal, going to classes before school, electing officers in advisories and in clubs, and developing a feeling of security that makes each person feel that he belongs is true spirit. This year Austin High showed spirit in many different ways. Students worked together to help others not as fortunate as themselves. At Christmas time, many Aus- tin High students contributed much of their time and money toward this fund. Each club and organization was given a poor family to help at Christmas. The true value of working together was shown as the students brought food, clothes, and money to help others have a merry Christmas. The faculty helped build the spirit of Austin High a great deal. Students and faculty worked together as one big unit to increase spirit in pe rallies, and in the classrooms. As sponsors of clubs ancf, classroom teachers, the faculty were ready and willing to help students before or after school and to discuss grades and individ- ual problems. The student lounge in the lunchroom was set up and operated by the KA' association, a group of SFA letter- men. One main provision for the privilege of having a lounge was that the lunchroom be kept clean during the lunch periods. The lounge was opened before school in the morning. No teacher was in charge, and the stu- dents disciplined themselves. Cheerleaders at Austin High worked hard and endlessly to promote school spirit. They worked hard every week to make pep rallies and other spirit-building activities successful. WVith the help of the Red jackets and Band, who marched at games and sent telegrams and spirit letters to the boys, the cheerleaders did a fine job. Bus trips helped students come in contact with many people-trips that took them to Interscholastic League competition and meetings. VVith students and faculty working together, Austin High became a powerhouse of spirit. OFF TO A GAME-football that is-are many students riding busses with faculty chaperones.
