lil 'f 'Xf'ff'i'- N- w .M A A MM MM W TW School Spirit The fact that schools are an absolute necessity and the most beneficial agency to a community excepting the church is no longer discussed but accepted as true. Some. of the questions that confront us are: What is the greatest object? How is it gained? What are the activities that help to produce good schools? ,J Of these questions let us look at the last. There are many ac- tivities that are organized and discarded. Many that are carried on with little real value. Again many of the activities are a great aid in interesting, holding, and arousing spirit in individuals through- I out our school communities. These are the activities that should be fostered and encouraged. A A school may have the finest equipment, building and instruction Q but without the desire, and receptive attitude little will be accom- t plished. On the other hand with these favorable conditions if there is a tendency to come forth and grasp the opportunities offered progress is always made in leaps and bounds. gi Statistics show' us that about 4079 of the pupils that enter the High School graduate. This percentage varies from 20721 to 6021. It is a fact that in schools which havn't activities the percentage is the lowest. We wonder why, but by observing that the schools which f' have a limited number of well organized activities are the ones that t graduate the largest percentage of pupils. We also find that pupils that enter the activities with a certain spirit that reveals an alert- ness and a desire to excell in some undertaking. Q An individual with the spirit to accomplish some definite thing It will remove tmany obstacles to gain the desired end. This spirit if properly directed, will tend to make the things with which one is connected a success. Whenever each individual of a group feels a spirit of making the things concerning the common good a real suc- cess, we are building a force that will drive and make a community leap to its zenith. Let us strive to develop and forster those activities that will carry our Alma Mater to its highest level. rr -ew e e W- ft ccca 'gfgwlggigw Sixteen
