Page 'l'4zueZ-zum. ,,,4+ CHUOL Spirit is a thing which we feel and understand, but it is so big and abstract that we can not easily define it. VVithout it the school would be simply the sum of the purposes, aspirations, and efforts of the individual teachers and students. But this School Spirit, this loyalty by the student body and faculty, unifies and .makes effective all the various elements which go to make up Springfield High School. livithout it there could be no school life other than the mere routine of lessons and reci- tations. Cooperation between the faculty and student body is necessary in the promotion of this spirit. If the faculty does not encourage it, they fail as a facultyg if we, the student body, do not respond to this encouragement, we fail to do our part, in either case the school fails. For four years it has been the privilege, as well as the duty, of this, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and nineteen, to uphold the honor and traditions and to promote the Spirit of Springfield High School. YVe have made many mistakes but we have done our best to leave the school better than we found it. Even our mistakes have not been in vain, for coming classes will profit by them, and as we leave the school, our wish is that other classes may strive as hard as we have striven to promote the Spirit of the School, and that their success may be greater.
