The Cost of School Spirit SCHOOL spirit in high school docs not mean for your school, conscientious work to raise her standard of scholarship, faithful adherence to her laws, and loyal defense of her interests. School spirit means dipping into your purse and giving freely to all the so-called school activities. This we arc told by our assembly speakers, who ought to know. They urge you to come to all the games and athletic meets — the admis- sion is from 20 cents to 50 cents. They declare that it will not do for you to fail to attend all the parties and dances and boat-rides, or to patronize candy and pop-corn sales sponsored by our numerous organizations. Their clinching argument is, of course, the old and honorable one of school spirit, which, to a Hilltopper. means boosting your school LO.t with your lungs or hands or brains, but with your dollars. It is impossible to describe the keen suffering of those pupils who have not enough ready cash to keep up with their mates. It is hard to miss the ball games when your friends are cheering for San Diego. It is hard to be left out when everyone is signing annuals. It is hardest of all to go home after your last period when music is sounding in Study 86. or to remain at school when your club or class is staging its Ditch Day. All this hurts, but what hurts most of all is to be told that you are not a loyal citizen, that because you cannot afford to do these things you have no school spirit. Is it not unfair to judge school spirit according to how much money you are able to spend on school activities, no matter how worthy the cause? Let usgive everyone an opportunity to show his loyalty, but let us not confine this opportunity to a chance to buy a ticket for a football game. 5. D. H. 5. Flag PROUDLY floats the flag we love o ' er our fairest green: azure sea and sky above, picture what a scene! Youth with joyous moods comes out, ' round old glory plays: frolics with delight about, making happy days. Life to her is one great song. — see her colors fly I When ' tis right and when ' tis wrong she will answer why. Look up to her mighty rule, follow her design. God himself made her a tool of His work Divine. If we love her we do right, if we sin we lie: back of that is God ' s own light ever drawing nigh. Are we loyal, are we pure: Does Old Glory ' s name fly with colors that endure with- out spot or stain. ' ' Live for her and lift her up if her colors drag. God will give the victor ' s cup tho ' she turns a rag. Be forever hers to boast, so she proudly may float from coast to coast always and for aye. PiU c fell The Crav ( asllc
