Berkeley High School Spirit ,Q Ii ARIC all inclined to be proud of our Berkeley High School spirit. VVC make loud speeches about it, yell at the games and rallies, and sometimes shout in places where we f gg Vg' 61? Q shouldn't shout at all. We have great pride in our student Qi body organization and in the fact that we all pay our student fig? body dues. WVe Subscribe for the OLLA PODRID.-xg we sup- port the athletic gamesg and We attend all of the shows. As a result our financial condition is good, and we keep on increasing our athletic equip- ment. On the surface everything is prosperous. Berkeley High School spirit is great. But I wonder whether this success and this tumult, noise, and shouting represent the real Berkeley High School spirit of which we should be proud. llow can we reconcile this success with the fact that there are complaints about our misconduct in public places, and even upon our own premises? ls it not true that some of us fail to distinguish between the signs of material success and the development of a social life which has real spiritual value? The best school is the one in which the best work is done in studies and in student activities: where teachers and students co-operate in trying to help each otherg where each is willing to give up his personal desires to advance the general welfare: and where a spirit of happiness prevails. A school has a spiritual life, just as an individual has, and when we speak of the B. ll. S. spirit we should have that in mind. Whether this is good or bad depends not upon the noise which some of us make, but rather upon the good will and the attitude of co-operation which our whole student body displays. 'l'o me the B. H. S. spirit is splendid, but it will not remain so unless we understand what it really is and make continual effort to bring into line those who do not understand. This is the big problem of our student body. Keep up the good old Berkeley High spiritf, But remember that the spirit is not in the shouting but in the quiet, steady, determined purpose to make the best of every situation. .534 aff..
