THE SPIRIT WE UPHOLD What is this spirit you uphold? Is it the spirit of democracy and unity? ls it loyalty, friendship, and enthu- siasm? ls it honor or pride, ambition or pep? Is it the spirit of work, of recreation, of prudence? Yes, it is all these and more, stranger, It is something more than an abstract idea. It is a fellow doing a red-head's Spanish for her. It is a guy bringing his physics expe- riment back, a letter man cram- ming for a test, a scholar measur- ing chemicals, a Latin student looking out of the classroom win- dow, an English student trying to fathom Chaucer. It is a curly-headed kid rising to a point of order. It is a rewrite man making the dead- line. It is a bass player keeping the beat. It is a jammed auditorium echoing with 'The Stars and Stripes'. It is a blonde giving her all in a play, a brass quartet practicing, a fellow punching tickets at the football game, the yearbook stair arguing, the corridor guards joking. It is a quintet of long-winded netters breaking through. It is a valiant eleven holding on their own five. It is a crowded grandstand reverbe- rating with cheers. lt is the guy on the bench aching for action, the pole vaulter straining to make the bar, a swimmer finish- ing the last lap, a tennis player serving a fast one, a runner break- ing the tape, a pitcher pulling through in a pinch. lt is a couple jitterbugging. lt is a fraternity group meeting. lt is the front hall between classes. It is a co-ed preparing for a date, a party in full swing, the crowded cafeteria at lunchtime, a bunch of stags at an ice cream parlor, a senior hunting a tux. lt is the school itself- the corridors, the lockers, the grandstand, the classroom, and the football field. It is something tangible, stranger, That's what this spirit is!
