Q ...... 1926 DZEQZT - Y .... 'f' I EDITORIAL I V gl VERY year we work to make our Farmington Student better. 'Tofdok this we need all the school spirit thatpupils can give. For a school paper reflects the success of the school, which is brought about by school spirit. ' Often I have wondered just what this phrase means. In all that I have read, I have never found anything which characterizes true school spirit 'better than these lines from Shakespeare: g . To thine own self be trueg And it must follow, as the night the day, 'Thou canst not then be false to any manf, School spirit is loyalty to your school and to yourselfg it is pride in your work, it is willingness to see the good, ability to see the good, in your school, it is the attempt to raise the standard of your school. It is the best that you can give in return for what has been done for you. Often it is not only those who hold the highest offices or play on the athletic teams, or obtain the highest rank, who have true school spirit, for those who go their owntquiet way, and offer their best, may possess this ideal, for he who does not do his best, and his very best-fails. As we go on in life, this quality ceases to become school spirit but develops into something infinitely better and greater--citizenship and true Americanism. There is always room in our school for school spirit, and yet the pupils of old Farmington High, which we Seniors sadly leave this year, possess it in no small degree now. In behalf of our school we wish to thank Miss Baker for her help, which has been indispensable in preparing this paper, and Mr. Gregory, who has evinced so great an interest in all school affairs. To the public we offer our sincere thanks for their support during the year. I THE EDITOR. 3 4-1
