Everyone is complaining, but no one has found the exact cause of all the fuss. While each of the students claims the ability to put his finger on the sore spot, not one has suggested any sort of a remedy. It's the team,', say a few quitters. It's the high school spirit, says the team. Who's right? does the team make the spirit or does the spirit make the team? Maybe it's the spirit. Spirits come after death and it's a sure cinch something's dead. Where's the pep-ziz that we used to have? Where's the loyal crowd that used to follow the team? What's happened to that something that used to make the head giddy and the lungs ache when we heard those words: Everybody up! ? And where's the blame to be laid? It surely is not the school in itself. We have here so many things of which to be proud. This new library is to be looked into. our debating squad is not to be sneezed at, and our new system is certainly worthy of notice. Everything spells order and efficiency. Consider this book. You'll have to admit it becomes better every year. We have a fine building here too, nice location, and there's no doubt that we're blessed with a wonderful faculty. We have such a wide variety of courses offered that even the choosey are satisfied. Elwood High School has a high scholastic standard and she's always repre- sented in any race-academic or athletic. . As students we have a lot for which to be thankful. Old El. Hi. doesn't require a final exam. of you! But on the other hand we don't have a gym, and it's been made outstandingly fmostly standinglyj plain that our auditorium is no longer large enough to accommo- date all of our flock: We don't have many entertainments such as Dr. McClain furnished us, and no desire to be unusually good in decorum because of inner influences. Some- thing's wrong. Let's see. We razz and boon our school. We take up precious seats at yell practice and refuse to cheer. We cut classes day after day. We laugh at our instructors. We agree with anyone who says our school is a lot of hooey. Here's what's wrong. We're all a pack of cowards-low sneak cowards who fail to realize that there is any such thing as loyalty and stick-to-it-iveness. Instead of shoulder- ing the Red and Blue, we're yellow. We don't yell because we're afraid of being laughed at. We are not courteous to visitors and above all we do not feel that Elwood High School is then school of the state. Here's an appeal. Let's snap out of it. Say good-bye to the razzberry,' days. Buck up! Fill our lungs and cheer for the school. Live school, talk school, and when necessary back her to the limit! Wake up that feeling of She's my school and I'm for Her, that's sleeping beneath a hard-boiled surface. Let's all be Elwood High men and backers!
