I School Spirit, that intangible thing which bears the same relation to the life of a school as does patriotism to die life of a nation, is the driving force for achievement and success in all school activities, and is proportional to the feeling of unity and cooperation that exists in the student body. This unity of purpose is created in those places where the entire stu- dent body may get together to yell for the team, to sing their school songs, to gain inspiration from a Christmas pageant, to enjoy the opera or the school play, or to gather as a democratic body to consider their problems and initiate new activities for the improvement of their school Those activities which have taken place in our new auditorium are an appropriate theme for this annual, for here is the hub of student life where there is created that esprit de corps that “morale” which becomes a driving force in the life of our students. Therefore we dedicate this annual to the many activities which have taken place in our auditorium during the past year, for here we have seen not only the initiation but the culmination of those functions which are woven into the life and eventually into the traditions of this student body. Here we have another of a long line of Campaniles, which will be rich in memories of the joys of high school days and will stand as a fitting tribute to the artistry, loyalty and long hours of work devoted to its making by the boys in the printing department, under the w direction of Mr. Max Morrison, and the staff under the supervision of Miss Katheryn Harrison. My congratulations to all who have had a part in producing this 1939 edition of the “Campanile.” —HARRY J. MOORE, Principal Success in All Wilson High School Activities IS»
