6 riiE CHIMES SCHOOL SPIRIT— CLASS SPIRIT Herl)ert Dwyer, ' 30 School Spirit — Class Spirit : It is a hard proposition for the undergraduate to choose when the two conflict as they sometimes do. Class spirit is that wdiich makes us toil to have an out- standing class. It makes us go into the activities of plays, Slippers, parties, and sales to make money for the class and to show the W ' Orld and the rest of the school that our class is superior in energy and potency to any class in the school. School spirit is that which makes us support our school and its works. It makes us endeavor to have a school which is superior to any school in the section in its different ac- tivities. We go out and strive to make the athletic teams. If we are not capahle of heing a cog in any of these ma- chines, then we are good losers; we go out and cheer, sup- port, and encourage these teams to the best of our ability. That is school s])irit. Occasionally, as I have said, the two conflict. I will cite an example. A play is given by a class. Three members of the cast are regular football players. These three members cannot go out to football practice every afternoon because they have rehearsals. The football team, having to use green material, loses games that it might have won wath the three regulars present. The school loses its prestige on the athletic field. The class play is a success. The class becomes more popular; but at what price; the losing of the athletic name of their school, their Alma Mater. The price is too great. Just think, you have a lifetime for plays, but you have only four short years for your school.

THE CHIMES 7 Use them well. Class spirit is a great thing , but school spirit is much greater. Therefore when the two conflict, give up the lesser for the greater and you will never regret it. A PLEA TO ALL SCITUATE HIGH STUDENTS John Jakubens, ' 32 We have a new building and a new gym. Are we going to fill that gym with cheers next winter when Scituate High goes on the basket ball court? You bet we are. Every boy and girl in school can lend something to dear old Scituate High. If we can ' t lend material for the athletic teams, we can give support from the sidelines. We should- n ' t be half-hearted about our cheering; we should all be pre- sent at the games, cheering our teams on. The girls and boys aren ' t playing for themselves; they are playing for the good of the school, and half the game is won by support. Eor the past two or three years, Scituate High School has not had very good support. Why can ' t we all attend the games? No distance is too far to go to cheer our school on. If we lose, no one can say that we haven ' t done our part if we were at the sidelines. If we aren ' t interested in our team, why should the players be? They are playing for the school and we should be supporting them. Come to every athletic contest and help us win for Scit- uate High. SCHOOL SPIRIT Mary Stewart, ' 30 Strive Sacrifice Cooperate Participate Help Impel Offer Respect Originate Include Love Tackle I wonder why it is thought that School Spirit no longer exists among the boys and girls of today? Is it truly so, or is it merely that we do not exhibit our feelings ? To have the poper school spirit you must strive, — strive to help your school in various ways ! Pay your class and A. A. dues, boost your school, contribute to the Chimes, and keep up in your studies. Cooperation is necessary. You must cooperate with 3 ' our teachers by knowing your lessons and thus by making their
