SCHOOL SPIRIT School spirit may he defined as an internal feeling of pride, loyalty and devotion toward the achievements of a school. lt exists Only when the school and students are joined together so that each day of school life does not seem a drudgery or a day of misfortunes and hardships. If school spirit is lacking there is no pleasure to school life, and each day has its studies and trials without pleasure. NVithout school spirit the students are not interested in the academic standing of school, in oratorical contests, dramatics. athletics. or any other School activity. This lack of school loyalty may he remedied by holding general assem- blies each week in which some program is carried out, or something of gen- eral interest discussed: by organizing various social and literary clubs by organizing an athletic council for maintaining athletic teams, lay holding inter- class games and athletic contests, and by awarding prizes for honor students. It should he the duty of the upper classmen and teachers to teach thc Freshmen the meaning of school spirit. A series of short talks would encour- age the students and produce a greater feeling of pride toward their school.

THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 5 If there is a feeling of school spirit in any school, every student would enjoy the advantages which are given. Each would have his particular recre- ation, for which he is fitted and to which he gives his greatest interest and devotion. The whole student body would follow its team to every game, and a large cheering section would be formed. Each club of the school would have a large number of members, each wishing that his club might grow larger and better. Each day of school life would be a pleasure, each lesson would be mastered with pride, every task entrusted to each student would be faithfully accomplished. School spirit is a problem for the student body to solve. Sometimes it is a difficult one. Teachers and students of Standish High, let's try to bring upon the entire school the feeling of school spirit. It means a lot to a graduate to see his school increase its high standards of scholarship and school spirit. EDITOR.
