The following school code was also adopted as an aid in establishing good school spirit: HASTINGS HIGH CREED I am proud to be a student of Hastings High School. I believe in the traditions of friendliness and fair play which this school has established in the past. I believe in student participation and cooperation wherever it is for the good of us or our school. I believe that the success or failure of any student in our school should be shared by all. I believe “he has the right to criticize who has the heart to help. Therefore, I will do my part to preserve and enrich these traditions by adopting a courteous attitude toward others; I will give my time and energy to students' activities as much as possible; I will refrain from hindering or discouraging others who take part in these activities; I will give credit ami praise for things well done; I will offer constructive suggestions when I cannot offer praise. In this spirit we cannot fail ourselves, our opponerts, or our friends.
