Spirit Makes Life Interesting! Do you know the vital part of school life that spirt plays? That vague idea of school pride is what makes our school different from any other. Without em- blems, school colors, theme songs, and cheers, all schools would be alike. Each school searches for that one thing that will make them stand out from all of the rest. They want that one special cheer, gimmick, or style that will put them in a class by themselves. The purpose of all of this is to make everyone realize that it is school spirit that makes the life of the student a bit more interesting. It is the dress up week before Homecoming and the singing of the school song at every athletic event that expresses the school pride which the students have. You can tell the level of this pride by the loudness of the fans. 6 Theme

ers. Many organizations encompass so much more time and effort than people realize. Many people don’t think about such things when they read a school news- paper, watch a football game, see a play, or page through a yearbook. Many an editor or organization pres- ident have wondered if they will make it to tomorrow with their sanity salvaged. There are advisors who feel the very same way. Sometimes it makes you wonder if all of your work will pay off in the end. But when you hear the crowd cheer for you, see a person smile while reading your newspaper article, or witness the surprise on the faces of the students when the yearbooks finally arrive in the spring, you know that all of your effort has finally paid off.

This is true whether the game is home or away or if the fans be students, parents, or alumni. Every parent who has had a child active in any of the school activities knows what pride and school spirit are. Any student who has heard the applause of the crowd also knows what those simple words mean. Now you should realize that it is the sense of pride and school spirit that make being anything an honor-whether you are Homecoming King or Queen or a starter on the basketball team. It is the spirit of the students and the honors that they received that stick in the memories of the people in the community. This is what they will remember in the years to come.
