THE SPIRIT OF THE SCHOOL School Spirit! The Spirit of the School. That is the thing that is impressed upon every member of any school from the time that they become Freshmen, until they gradu- ate as Seniors. It might be said that as the school is, so is the spirit. One often hears the expression in schools, this is the deadest place that I was ever in. The particular person that says such a thing is not interested enough in the school to ever become an important factor in the school's life. School spirit is shown in various ways. It is shown in different ways 'by the different members of the school. Those students that come out and practice upon the football team are showing the school spirit and school loyalty by spending their time and efforts trying to do something for the school. Not everyone can play upon the football team, but all those than cannot can come out to the games and support their team and school by yelling and cheering the team. In the same way, not every one can be a member of the basket ball team, but every one else can at least come out and support the team during its games and show an interest in the school. Not every one can be a member of the school debating squads, and track team, but the members of the school that have any school spirit can support the different teams and the reputation of the school by showing an inter- est in the school. School spirit is almost as contagious as the measles, providing that the members of the school have any life in them at all. If a few members of the school have that spir- it, the others will soon catch the inspiration, or at least the feeling of loyalty the other members of the school are show- ing. In this way, the spirit and loyalty to the school are built up and better, bigger results, and the people of the community feel that the students are interested in the school and they become more interested and give their sup- port to the students and their school.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 1925 As I sit in my easiest chair before the immense Colonial fire-place in my den, surrounded by many books, queer speci- mens, and other phenomena of nature, I, as mcst extraordi- nary clairvoyant and dabbler in the supernatural am trying a new plan as I try to fathom what my crystal medium would impart to me concerning the future. Rather than reading the crystal ball itself, I have faced about in such a manner so as to watch the reflection of the fire in my medium in order to prophesy the future. As I gaze at the reflections of the dancing tongues of flames, the following picture reveals itself to me. I see Brahma in his double role. appearing as Vishnu, the preserver, and as Siva, the destroyer. The countenance of Vishnu appears to be greatly pleased with rs and the v. ay that each of us has played our part in life. He promises each and all of us eighteen years of unbroken happiness and success. During this time., however, he seems to lose his power and the countenance of Sive becomes more and more fore-boding, and he seenfs to have overpowered the rule of Vishnu, and in his role of destroyer is preparing plans for the destruction of our civilization. Siva plans the destruction of our civilization by launch- ing the Marinoidsg the peoples who live in that mystical land in the ant-arctic, far beyond the South Pole. -We have re- ports that these people are nearly all head, have four arncs, six fingers, and only very small legs, so much are they de- veloped. They have harnessed the power of the atom and seem to hold the fate of the world in their power. Vishnu has promised us his aid and the outlook has talren on a brighter aspect. From spies recently sent to the chief city of the Marinoids, we have reports that the Marinoids are preparing for li long expedition of a bel- ligerent nature. We have determined that our civilization shall not be destroyed and have called into executive session, the brains and brawn of our fair and prosperous land. President J. G. Kugland, our president, world's greatest diplomat and arbitrator is presiding over the meeting. In the circle around the massive oaken tables sits the brains of the nation in industry and in science.
