Harriette Andrews Irene Travis Helen Wells William Matson Paul Eno H EDITORIAL SCHOOL SPIRIT E Does any undertaking during our school life succeed without School Spirit? No, there can be nothing worth while done for, by or of a body of school pupils without that unseen bond which unites each and every one into one body with but one purpose in mind. , To gain individual success we have Five great factors to keep in mind, namely, accuracy, judgment, initia- tive, reliability and co-operation. Gradually, all of these are brought into our line of vision at school. Should we fail to catch their signifi- cance at once, is there a chance that we will later? One of the most im-- portant of these is co-operation, we meet it in all walks of life. A farmer who is at the mercy of a commission merchant, has no way. individually of knowing how much his produce actu- ally brings. But by co-operation with other farmers in the community they can employ someone to act for them as a unit. When people wish to build a new school, church or any other public building, they first arouse enthusiasm, then a spirit of co-operation, to secure the money. When they want a new street or road, they co-operate and select some hon- est, reliable leader to tell the city council or State Legislature how much the improvement is needed. Wliere has School Spirit a greater chance to develop than in Hannibal High School, in the Athletic Associa- tion, in the team work of our ath- letic teams: in the orchestra, in the thought' that we have a new outstand- ing building-to work in and live up to, in the thought that we have teachers and instructors who are working for our interests, encourag- ing and helping in act and word, day by day, in our school plays and now in the constructing and editing of our iirst school paper? As long as all of these incentives are furnished us, let each do his or her individual part to insure success and change defeat to victory. Then when our teams are defeated, we must not sit back or lose cour- age. Accept it as a challenge. We must forget our individual inter- ests and think always of our team and not ourselves. Encourage them, for, as Henry VVard Beecher said, It is defeat that turns bone to flintg it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle, it is defeat that makes men invincible. So, armed with courage and the sup- port of the High School body, we need never fear the consequences in the presence of opposition, defeat may be only the threshold of victory. What matters it- If what shone afar so grand P Turned to ashes in the hand? On again, the virtue lies ' In the struggle, not the prize. --EDITOR.
