=—= HIGH SPIRITS School spirit is not an easy phrase to describe effectively in a few words. In general terms, it is a willingness to participate in school activities and to fulfill one’s potential as a student at Classical High School. It is a sense of belonging to a legitimate organization and a feeling of pride when someone asks: “What school do you go to?” By reading this very yearbook, one shows a certain degree of pride towards his or her school. School:spirit is a lighter degree of patriotism that bonds all stu- dents to a common feeling of companionship in and outside of the school. By attending football games, participating in class fun- draisers and activities, taking part in rallies, and working along with each other, Classical students have represented their school with great enthusiasm. By showing our school spirit, we have won the respect of the city, as well as the respect of other high schools in the area. Morale is an important part of school spirit. It has it’s ups and downs during each school year, according to the ability of Classical’s sports teams, music groups, and other clubs that represent Classical in regional, as well as national competitions. School spirit has kept up the long standing tradition of academic excellence which distinguishes Classical on a national level. Every marking period, more and more students are striving to get better grades in order to keep up with Classical’s standards. The ability to represent Classical with pride and good taste is a reflection to others, showing the positive effects that Classical has on the students here. School spirit is the force that promotes this well-standing relation- ship between Classical and the citizens of Springfield. And as the school year winds down, the Seniors graduate, and friends will part for the last tire in order to face new challenges, Schoo] spirit will leave an empty space in all of us as Classical High school closes it’s doors on an era that will be remembered for years Roger Gove “gets into the groove” and lifts his voice to come. . in support of his school. pe e S a % : iY = et el : = ' Mr. Pringle is always ready to show his school spirit, “rain or shine”.
