Competition Because the race was long and tough, determination was essen- tial. Butterflies symbolizing nerv- ousness indicated that one’s best endeavor was necessary. A co- operative spirit welded individuals into a team that struggled for a common goal — victory. Satisfaction was gained when one completed a task to the best of his ability while representing and serving his school valiantly. 157
