Both of these excellent organizations owe their life and growth to Prof. A. J. I .a Bcrge. To that end we think that public acknowledgment should be made him by the Editors of the great good that he has done for our school. May he stay with us always. We want him. ATHLETICS While our teams, such as we have had for the past three years, have been uniformly good, and have won a large per eentage of the games played, we feel that at least two more major sports should Ik- participated in by the students of this school. Wc understand that efforts will be made next fall to put a football team in the field. Good! We implore the boys of the student body to get behind this movement and make a success of it. Our athletic relations with Flagstaff S. N.. Snowflake Academy. Jerome H. S.. Prescott H. S.. Williams II. S. and Needles H. S. have been very pleasant, but wc believe that it i time to meet other schools on the gridiron and on the track. The track material in High at the present time is exceptionally good, and wc trust that next year wears of the “W” will be found at the University Scholastic at Tucson and at the Albuquerque meet also. The best interests of the school can he served by the organization of a permanent Athletic Association. We suggest that a stated yearly fee Ik- set. same to cover student admittance to all school contests. THE TENNIS CLUB Wc are glad to see the tennis sharks are again at work. We would like to suggest that the courts be moved nearer High School, instead of their present location. It is a good institution.

Xcvcr forget that the school is just what you make it. Ex-jR-nsive equipment. good teachers and modern facilities are provided for us by the local Hoard of Education, and it is up to us to get the maximum amount of good from it. With its laboratories and four Special Departments we know that our school is one of the best in the State. It should I our every endeavor to make it the B-E-S-T. Everything may not please you. exactly, but it is our opinion that those that kick the most really know the least about a g x d school.

Page Sixteen WOLS X I V A XOZ I K A NlNKTEKN FIFTEEN EDITORIALS ( Continued ) SCHOOL SPIRIT The one thing that is absolutely essential to the best interests of any school, whether of secondary or collegiate rank, is school spirit. The term embraces all: lesson preparations, recitations, teaching, student activities of all descriptions and the student-teacher attitude. A teacher or student who understands he term and who has honor enough to live up to their understanding will always live up to the term and will work at all times for the best interests of the school. School spirit can be shown in any one of a multitude of ways, but we believe the motto, Do your l»est for your school. should always be kept in mind by our High School students. PARENT-TEACHERS SS )CIATIOX We know nothing but good of this now-famous organiza tion. For two years its many members have done their l est for us. We appreciate it and wish to acknowledge our indebtedness here. Mrs. V. C. Proctor. President. 1913-1914; Mrs. R. It. Kastman. 1914-1915. and Mrs. 0. P. Sampson. Chairman of Entertainment Committee, are deserving of great praise for their good work and the real and vital interest they have taken in us and in our school. THE BUSINESS MEN OF WINSLOW Our appreciation of the liberality of the combined business interests of this city in giving us advertising is greatly appreciated by the school and staff. We believe that every reader of this liook should patronize our home merchants, as without them this book and this school would Ik- impossible. Every citizen of Winslow who is a Sears-Montgomery-Wardlmck patron is not a citizen in anything except the name. They are unworthy of the town ami of our schools. We. at least, now-know what the term Patronize home industry means, and we will always try and live up to our conception of the term. THE FACULTY We have a good faculty, as good as any school of our rank-lias. We appreciate them and trust that they will all always be happy and prosperous.
