J-- FOREWORD might use the word enthusiasm, and coin the Out of many hours of thought and earnest en- deavor has risen this issue of the BLUE AND WIIITE. From our powers of imagination have we conceived our storiesg from the cleverness and deeds of our fellow-students have we arranged the material which we prize and cherish as mem- ories of our high school days. As a mirror we have tried to reflect the life, the Interests, and the students of Westbrook High School. VVe admit the inadequacy of words to express our thoughts. but we trust our considerate readers to enter into the spirit with which we have prepared these words and look beyond our seem- ing frivolity and see the ambitious spirit of youth. aspiring to greatness and nobility. Thus we ask for your just and tempered crit- icism of our beloved high school magazine. the BLUE AND WHITE. TIIE EDITORIAL lloxun. SCHOOL ENTHUSIASM School spirit is the very essence of life to a successful school. Instilled in the hearts of a student body, it exerts a subtle influence always working for the best. A school under its benign spell is blessed with honor, prestige and victory. But the term school spirit seems to be an indefinite one. It is not, as many suppose, con- fined to one phase of school life, either athletics or study, to jumping, cheering, and throwing one's hat in the air at a football game, or to mere rank-getting. It is a broad term and applies to every undertaking that we attempt. To make it clearer and more intelligible, we phrase School Enthusiasm. In every line of work, in every endeavor, and in our amusement, we should have enthusiasm, but it is in school where we form habits that fol- low us through life, that an enthusiastic manner can be cultivated to the best advantage. If we enter into our studies with this spirit, with an ardent desire for knowledge, realizing how essential a good education is to a successful future, we must inevitably succeed and therefore do our part in raising the standard of our school. In college and in the business world the success of VV. ll. S. is established by the quality of its graduates, so it is our duty to acquire there the tools that will make for our success. If we enter the games, if we support our athe letics with this same zest, victory will be ours and the financial returns will be more gratifying. Every coach endeavors to inspire his team with enthusiasm. It is only with this attitude that the training and practice gives the best results. A large attendance of enthusiastic students at the games and good cheering urges the teams on to victory. We should all stand behind the fighters while the battle is on and make some sacrifice for the glory of our school. If we also are willing to support the other school activities with the loyalty that is so neces- sary for their success. we can feel we have done our share in living up to the full meaning of School Enthusiasm and have helped XVestbrook High School be a leader in scholarship and ath- letics. LET'S HAVE SCHOOL ENTHUSIASMH IN W. H. S.!!!!!! The City of Happiness is in thc State of Mind. 1
