GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP There are many and various ways in which good sportsmanship ' T c ' can be practised. Perhaps the most frequent violation is found in the 4' -ff ' ' sports world. Are you the type ot tellow who whines when he loses- . ,,ly f alibis when he tails-never gives the victorious team credit which they deserve? Often times a game is not won merely through ability. it ' lt's won by cooperation, fair play and good team work. Even those ' not athletically inclined can spur their team on to victory by watch- A . ing them play and cheering them on. You, who never help but always complain when your home room loses, are poor sports. You don't it possess the characteristics which help make an ideal pupil. You will never be a leader now or in the tuture. Your business, in later lite, will not flourish under the many hands ot stenographers and ottice boys. lt needs a leader: that person should be you. Why don't you practice now in helping your teammates? You will note a greater improvement in your team, if they are backed up by their classmates. 3,1 How about the student who carves his initials on desks, scribbles on basement walls or throws paper around? ls he playing tair? He's merely wasting the money his parents pay tor taxes. lt's a childish, very ignorant way, of expressing his gratitude to his parents. Why not campaign for better sportsmanship concerning school property? Then-Sportsmanship in school work is necessary. Does the fellow who copies other students' homework, and gets credit tor it deserve to be called a good sport? Absolutely notl He's getting something for nothing. In this case it's the credit he receives for the other tellow's work. lt a person would rely upon his own mental energy instead ot others, it would be of advantage to him. Not only would his marks improve, but he would have the satisfaction of knowing he did his own work. Why not make good sportsmanship an aim? Let's strive to obtain it among the pupils of C.P.l.Sl l'm sure if we all cooperate, we shall succeed. Frances Palombo LITTLE DINAH Dinah was a darky dear, A pretty piccaninnyg With her little woolly head, A chile of old Virginie. Her mommy worked tor white talks, The baking kept her busy: Go 'long and play, honey chile, Yo' sho' do make me diuy. Little Dinah, could she dance. A iazzy, little dancer: Whirling, twirling on her toes, She sure could cut a figure. Dinah, playing in the yard, No neighbors dared to tease her: Sometimes they gave her corn cakes, For they were sure to please her. Mommy spied her with her spade, Why, what's the matter, Dinah? Ah's been digging dirt all day, But still ah can't tind China. Fredrick Shavor

sci-tool. swim ' gi What would school be like if no one had any school spirit? ' Imagine not having any dances, basketball games, or activities ' illf'-' besides studies! None oi these activities would be possible, il it were I In not lor some one with some school spirit. Without these activities school would be a place of worlz to which one would go in the morn- ing anxious Ior three o'cloclx to arrive. At three o'cloclr, everyone would be glad to go home. School spirit is expressed by cooperation-cooperation with the traitic squad by obeying traffic regulations, with the 9A class by attending the dances: with the school authorities by helping to lceep the surroundings ol the school attractive: with the Scrip board by buying the Scripg and with the library authorities by observing the rules ofthe library. Helping to lreep the good reputation oi the school, whether in it or out of it is the best lcind of school spirit. This means doing the right thing at all times whether told to or not. II we ever thinlx that a rule or regulation is unfair, and we have any constructive criticism to malze. let's malre it to the proper authorities, as we sometimes give the wrong impressions to people who do not lmow us. We should also remember that we do not always lnnow why different rules or regulations are made. School spirit is what adds spice to our school life. It malres it a place of enjoyment combined with study. Everyone should have school spirit, and help to lceep up the high standard of our school. Elinor Walsh SHALL WE EVER LIVE TO SEE IN C.P.I.S. I.
