BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL 5 SCHOOL SPIRIT T his subject has been discussed and written about for a great span of years, but school spirit is what makes or mars the reputation of the school. We are apt to think of school spirit as the enthusiasm that manifests itself at a school football game. This is a form of school spirit, and an important one, but it is not by any means the all of it. I had planned on defining the term, but the more I thought about it the more I realized the difficulty of the task. There are certain terms in the English language that do not readily yield themselves to definition. School spirit is one of these. If our high school had the right spirit there would be com- paratively few cases of discipline and no gray hairs on the master’s pate, nor would there be any furrows on his brow. If we had the proper spirit we would not say or do anything to hurt our school, our teachers, or our classmates. We would say nothing about a person that we would not say in his presence. If we had the proper spirit we would attend regularly. We would not sneak around and do anything we would not do in the open. We would not in any way mar and destroy school property. We would perform our appointed tasks willingly and cheerfully. We would be democratic, and not cliquy. If we turned out to be failures as students, we would find some other cause other than the instruction of a poor teacher. You can’t learn unless you have the will to learn! Yes, school spirit is a whole lot more than paying your ath- letic dues and emitting half-hearted yells during the athletic contests of your teams. If you have this undefinable attribute you will not only be successful at school, but a success in life. Let’s strive for this worthy spirit! Kempton J. Coady, Principal
