School Spirit HERE is a certain indefinable something that binds classmates and schoolmates together and makes them sad at parting with their first Alma Mater. It is acquired, not given; gradually, silently, it steals upon the heart of the unsuspecting Freshman until as a Sophomore he feels that spirit a very spirit of himself. As Juniors and Seniors it has widened and broadened into a something too big for one person to hold—of course speaking in general terms. There it must needs have a vent for the surplus. It has two phases- first there is the feeling of goodfellowship and comradeship it establishes between scholars of the same school. This finally extends to pupils of other schools. That is the spirit which helps us to take athletic defeats with a smile. You will find it wherever you meet a group of scholars. Why? Because their daily course of lift runs in similar channels. Their thoughts and inspirations are alike—they are youthful, to be sure, but they are full of rosy sunshine and hopeful ideals. They are interested in each others sports, societies, clubs and methods of study. By interchanging of ideas people learn to intprove. Then there is the second phase—the phase of the spirit which makes us want our school to have as much of the best as others. It is the phase of the spirit which has made us boost an orchestra, a Hot Lunch Club and an athletic track meet and finally our annual. We want it to be the best, but most of all we want dear old C. H. S. to reach the to]) notch of success. We want our successors to carry on our ideals and boost C. II. S. and her interests to the clouds. Keep the “school spirit alive. Norma Campbell, '20. Jefferson says, “Never make an apology until an apology is due, so we won’t. We simply give our “X Everything as a little bit of “everything.” We wish to sincerely thank the publishers, teachers, pupils and student typists for their work in aiding “X Everything” to be truly a success. Our Class Oh, here’s to the class of the Violet and White, The class that is loyal and true; The class that has striven long years in the fight For knowledge and victory, too. And here’s to the teachers that trained us so well, Who helped us o’er barriers great, Who gave 11s the best in their power to propel And guide us in paths that were straight. And here’s to the schoolmates whose love we have proved, W ho made our way cheery and bright..- Who wept or rejoiced with us as we were moved. By sadness or jollity light. Oh, here’s to the class of the Violet and White! The class that is loyal and true, And here’s to the teachers who guided us right. And the friends that were ever true blue.

Jennie Hinken was elected president, Katherine Hoban treasurer and because of their faithfulness, still hold these positions. There has been an average membership of thirty-five. We are very much indebted to Mrs. Lottie Laug for helping us plan our menus; also to Superintendent Birdsell, who has so faithfully scrubbed the kitchen floor! Through his influence we had a Demonstration Team, composed of Esther Cook as speaker, Jennie Hinken as cook, and Marjorie Park as assistant cook and house- keeper. One Saturday in the fall of T9, the Team went down to Grand Haven to take part in a County meeting of Clubs. There the president of the Club was presented with a very much needed money-box as an appreciation of their work; also the honor of having the best Hot Lunch Club in the county, which we still hold. They went to Lansing in the winter of 1918 and demonstrated there. In the fall of 1919 they went to Detroit to the State Fair and there demonstrated. The five best teams of the state demonstrated, and although they did not carry off first honors, they had a very educational as well as recreational time. We finished our 1918-1919 course with a very enjoyable social given at the school house in the spring of T9 and expect to have another social this year as a conclusion to our work. J.
