Although Mahlon McMullen was second for boys, we feel thathe did well, because he was only slightly- under the winner for the boys, and he sold more than any girl. We have been well represented in sports. Mahlon McMullen ran cross country. john Edgerly and Norman Knapp played base- ball. N Mahlon has played basketball and has even acted as captain this year.

The Abram Breeze Summa SCHOOL SPIRIT What is School Spirit? It is cooperating with the people of the school, being willing to do your share to help and taking some of the responsibility yourself rather than letting the other fellow do it all. One of the largest things is cooperating with the teachers in the classroom and being courteous in class. Do your share in school activities. If your school is having a scrap drive, do your best to help out. Or if one of the classes is having ad dance or something similar, help them out. Keep your school rooms clean and also your grounds. The janitor does not like to clean up your messes. In basketball season back your cheerleaders while they are on the floor or on the sidelines. Cheer for your team, but be sure to show good sports- manship toward the opposing team. Be willing to help out on committees you are appointed to. If your class is hav- ing a meeting, state your ideas there rath- fr than after it is too late. Help out your Student Council by giving your ideas to your representative. Let him put the idea across for you. The care of school property is one of your greatest responsibilities in school. Do not mark on books, desks, or on the build- ing inside or out. Take care of the bus if you want to be able to use it again. While in other towns respect their property as you would want them to do with yours. If in school activities, do all the necessary work without complaining. H Y Always be loyal to your school at all times no matter where you are. Take an interest in your class, also. If you are loyal to .your school, if you take responsibilities cheerfully and if you represent your school willingly, you can Page Eleven be truly proud of your school. You may be said to possess School Spirit. Leon V Chadbourne ,54 THE BABE RUTH SPORTSMANSHIP PROGRAM AWARD The Babe Ruth Sportsmanship Award was started in 1949, sponsored by the American Association for Health, Nation- al Association of Secondary School Prin- cipals and the Babe Ruth Foundation. Its purpose is to arouse enthusiasm for good sportsmanship and fair play in the schools and among the general public. With the many shameful scandals, as the basketball betting uiixesv, the sports world has become alarmed. They feel that if fair play is started in high school, the individual will be more able to refuse bribes that might be offered by racketeers to him as an athlete in college. For every school that enters there is a trophy, which remains with the school and which bears the names of each year's win- ners. For the two students so honored, one girl and one boy, there is a Babe Ruth medallion. Athletes are eligible for the award but so are the cheerleaders, student managers, and even those who have no skill for ath- letics. The only requirement is a contribu- tion to good citizenship. The selections for the award are made by the students of the school. A The students in our school who received the award for the current year are Betty Kirkwood and Richard Trenholm. Kinglield High School is one of the for- tunate schools to have the honor of giving this award. It gives the students something to strive for while they are in high school, and it is certainly a great honor to receive such an award. Betty Kirkwood 353
