The Spirit of Our Year As Emersonians, we have known both triumph and defeat, happiness and despair. But as Emersonians, our emotions, high school friendships and experiences allow us to feel that we surpass all others in representing our year. We have heightened our honors by maintaining our record as state and city drill team champions; producing not only all city and all conference students in wrestling and football, but National Merit Semi-Finalist. Our cross-country and basketball team, along with the city ROTC commander colonel being chosen from our school have merited many honors in the name of Emerson. We have inspired hope dur¬ ing doubtful moments and grasped unflinchingly to achieve the very essence of our school life. What is this essence? The characteristics that make stu¬ dents yell faithfully for their team; classmates work diligently towards perfection; while faculty toil endlessly to strengthen and enrich their pupils, and student organizations strive in¬ dustriously to promote their school. In addition to a prosper¬ ous year, the Spirit Stick was introduced and did much to stimulate and boost the morale of the classes. All of these qualities combine to summarize the Emerson student body in reflecting, The Spirit of Our Year.
