12. THE MIRROR la o o 0.0 I?qRPq' '!'U?41'!' + Svrhnnl Spirit IAS Seen by the Facultyj UST what is meant by school spirit? Is it something tangible or can it only be felt as one enters the portals of a building? We believe it is the latter and that its existence is evident only where it is a natural attitude and not a cultivated trait. If that be true, can we at our high school be said to possess that realness of being? The faculty believes so. Some may accuse us of extreme youth and declare that only a glorious past can create real school spirit. How little do they realize what these words imply! How can one define that spirit of co-operation and readiness to serve which is apparent in our student body, except as the best type of school spirit? Then let our accusers attend any of our student af- fairs and they will be treated to another phase. The per- fect democracy which makes itself felt cannot be inter- preted as anything else but the finest of school spirit. The faculty feels that this is unique, for seldom does one find a school which vaunts such democracy. If anyone still doubts that so young a school can possess the real thing in the way of spirit, let him come to our football, basketball, and baseball games and to our track meets, where he will get a taste of that sort of iight- ing which proves that a school can scrap fairly and squarely against heavy odds and yet exhibit a brand of spirit which will startle even the doubter. Is there need of further proof, then, that a school which possesses and puts into daily practice all these prin- ciples of conduct is an exponent of that brand of school spirit which is most worth While? We believe not. MATTIE M. CROGAN. IIvQXIbd1':'TJ5iu':'Xb'Q1 T
