Spirit was more than this—it was going to class to find a special guest speaker adding zest to an offen “dull” class. Spirit was speaking to a fresh: man far from home for the first time to reassure that person that Southeastern was the place for a good education and a nice place to live. Spirit was returning to the dorm room or apartment for a good cry and a quick phone call back home fo just say “‘Hi, folks, | miss you.”’ Spirit was sticking with the foot: ball team through the hard times to find the reward of a winning season, and feeling a sense of pride in classmates for a job well done. Spirit was congratulating the losing team for giving their best and really meaning the spok- en word. Spirit was wondering when col lege would be fun only to discov: er that it was.

In the end, the good students prevailed with good study habits, careful organization and planned activities.
