Editorials SPORTSMANSHIP ln witnessing various athletic- contests. we have often heard people say. Tl1zit school has got the reall spirit. or 'iTha1t's school spirit for you! Yet, hearing these favorable comments. do we stop to consider tl1e meaning of the word Hspirit '? Let us offer this definition: Spirit is sportsmanship. or thut, quality with which we desire to be courteous, fztir, and respect' ful. This rule should apply to both the team and its supporters. To the team. let us offer this advice: don't be unsportsmztnlilce, by addressing: re- marks to o1'i'iei11ls or opponents: by attempt- ing to discomfort rudely un opponent: or by delaying the gutue. und indulging in tactics known to be 4-ontrziry to the spirit of the rules. Tiilltlllillg the ot't'ir-iztls for at de- feat. is most unsportsmnnlike. Ry admitting that the opposing: teum was the better tezun and not declaring the gainte to h:,t.ve been played unfztirly or oI't'it-iatted unjustly. we establish ourselves its the favored :uid more respected group. To the supporters we offer this advice: zu-t-1-pt the devisions ot' the ot't'ic'i:ils3 permit no abusive renutrks from the sidelines: insist on eourteous treatment of the visiting teznng recognize and applaud exhibitions ot' fine play by the visiting' team1 and respect the position of the opposing coach, So let us ot' H. ll. S. adopt these loyal stzmtlzwtls and earn the respect that we receive from others. F. M. D. LEARNING AND THOUGHT Learning without thought is labor lost.
