TH: -:azz W nigma -43 School Spirit School spirit! On every side we hear it. This individual student has a great deal of it, that one has none at all, so we hearg a group, class or entire school are overfiowing with it! What is it? What does the expression mean? VVhat does it mean? Early in the football season we stand on the side line, watching hopeless fumbles, interference tripping its own runners, absolute lack of coordination in the team. The material does not seem to be there, nothing can ever make a winner out of such a mob, we say to ourselves. Do we allow gloom to gather and overcome us? Not much! We shout and cheer, and dance and whoop like wild Indians, until by sheer enthusiasm the team molds and works into the finished machine that wins for Our School! Is it school spirit which makes us yell ourselves hoarse, or is it only love of the game? Do we yell ourselves hoarse when the other side scores? Why not? It may have been a most brilliant run through the whole field! Through every phase of school life it is the same. We stand ready to back Our School to the finish against all comets, even though, deep down in our hearts, we know Our Team is hopelessly outclassed! ls it school spirit that makes us so eager to win, to put Our School first and foremost in every endeavor, scholarship, sports, everything scholastic? Yes, school spirit is responsible for it all. Then what is school spirit? School spirit is nothing but love! Pure, simple, abiding love for Our School. Our Alma Mater, the first, last and only worth while school to us! Our love for it is the motive, school spirit, behind it all. It keeps the teams striving always towards success, the faculty working for improvement throughout, and the student body working constantly. All work for the continued success of Our School. What a poor miserable worm it must be that cannot feel it, sense it, and have the warm red blood pour through his veins faster and faster due to it. Oh! how such a one must suffer! No interest, no love, no anything but Z1 desire to get through each day. No such person could exist and have red blood in his veins. To you, underclassmen, we say we have done our best. We have fought for Our School, we have gone through the agonies of defeat and exhilaration of victory and have come back to cheer the stronger. Why? School spirit! First and foremost comes school spirit, then, only then, comes class spirit with its loyalty toward its members. Let me say that it is your duty underclassmen , to uphold the honor of the school in everything undertaken by it and to do your almighty best to see that in all undertakings your school is most successful. 3
