L I CRIER WAND MID-YEAR HERALD Explanatory to the fact that there was no exchange of lXTID-YEAR HERRXLDJS with other high schools, we desire to call the attention of our out-of-town readers to the establishment in Westport High School, of a class in journal- ism. This is rather an experiment for high schools, but the experiment has been very suc- cessful. The class has published a bi-weekly newspaper The Crier, and because of its pub- lication, it was thought there was no occasion for a MID--YEAR HERALD. For the same reason, the staff of THE HERALD has deter- mined t-o publish the ANNUAL HERALD as a Senior's Annual, and toward that end we have bent our efforts. We deeply regret any dis- appointment which may have been caused by the discontinuation of the MID-YEAR HERALD, and we sincerely hope that the change will be satisfactory to our readers. SCHOOL SPIRIT It has been said that school spirit is that intangible, indefinite, loyal support which bears the same relation to the school which patriot- ism bears to the nation. At various times in Westport's history, her school spirit has been lamented, and praised, but this year it has been possible to refer to Westport's loyalty only with glowing and enthusiastic admiration. The ardent support given VVestport's own rep- resentatives in debates, plays, and athletics has been most praiseworthy, and the courtesy ex- tended to visiting teams has far surpassed that of any other Kansas City- high school. And yet-has the Westport student body yet found real school spirit? School spirit is manifested in two different ways-by fighting for Vlfestport on the basket- ball Hoor or the debate platform, and by cheer- ing NVestport's representatives -on to their best efforts. Who really serves his school better, the fellow who struggles for Westport in a personal contest, or the fellow who sits on the front row and pours his scho-ol spirit through his vocal chords? This is easily answered. Westport could continue to win contests with- out the cheer-leader, but without the contestant she could do nothing. There are many who now c-online their efforts to cheering, but who should themselves be entered in the contest. Without realizing it, you may be a better bas- ket-ball player, a better tennis player, o-r a better debater than any in the Interscholastic League. If Maurice McLaughlin had held himself in obscurity, who would to-day be ten- nis champion of the world? If Woodrow Wilson had not struggled for- ward, if he had lived a private life, however
