ADMINISTRATION E .aff .limi CRISTOBAL JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL: One of two U.S. high schools operated by the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Canal Zone Government. MR. MAEDL PAYS TRIBUTE TO TIGER SPIRIT Cristobal High School has long enjoyed a reputa- tion for having an exceptionally fine school spirit. This has been in evidence not only at athletic con- tests but in many -other areas of school life as well. As one example, this past year the seniors ex- pressed the desire to obtain for themselves additional privileges in school and during the lunch hour. To show that they understand that responsibility must accompany privilege, they appointed a committee which carefully worked out a code of conduct which they would adhere to and which they felt would be acceptable to the school and the community. The ad- ministration not only accepted the guidelines the stu- dents had set up, but applauded them for their achievement and for the fine spirit in which they had carried it out. This is the Tiger Spirit at its very best. It is hoped that in the future years there will continue to be even greater demonstrations of this spirit.
