different your school spirit seems to be working in everything you do it doesn't make any difference if it's thoughts or debate a competition for a scholarship we know that lawrence high is always going to be the hardest to be student body in the state feels the same way about a big school i can't be the reason you're always on top so why are you guys it is hard to say sometimes know it wasn't enough sometimes it was kid stuff such as painting the school officials in places where they had no business to be if we had anything and we don't know what all this carrying on was a discredit to the school i'm not much of a speaker so i guess about all i can do is tell you what i think and how the boys on the team feel about things the first thing i think is if we took a vote right here and now i would probably be unanimous in favor of the basketball team not making speeches in assembly but no kid probably don't realize it and i don't know just how to say it but all of you out there mean more to the basketball team than any one of us who play we spend a lot of time practice and a lot of time learning to play and sometimes when we get to thinking we're pretty good but when the day of the game rolls around well our inside gets changed and we begin to wonder if we're really going to with that kind of spirit i don't see how we can more than just know if an opposing team member was shooting a free throw we all kept quiet to give him a chance to make a good win by felt out of the last minutes with us going to we didn't do the referee we concentrated on supporting the players who we all had a new idea of good sportsmanship that all of us wanted to live up to and it was setting us straight toward the championship lauren pry was rated one of the top teams in the state and that's when it happened right in the middle of the season half way to the championship got sick really sick he was a part of the team with him down we didn't know whether the team would fold or not what really happened was that it were just the opposite way people got to thinking about the hospital and everybody became more determined than ever to carry on like what bob started the coach never said we've got to win this one for all by he was too smart for that he knew that's what we were all thinking anyway well there was no foolishness at all and everyone got behind the team in the way that it counted not calling attention to ourselves but letting them know we were for them and you know it was the thing that carried over into every classroom because when you get right down to it a classroom is a kind of team to students and teachers working together to accomplish something if you look at it that way you realize that there isn't anybody more on your side than the teacher is whatever class shari'a the more we got behind them the more we realized that lawrence had as good a faculty as any school they were teaching a full day's schedule and then taking on other jobs for the good of the school jobs like helping plan constructive assemblies and working within a real sports and all sorts of other things and we didn't want just the teachers doing things for the good of the school we wanted to do them ourselves romance and debate and dramatics and science class jump way up before long we were as proud of our scholarship and extracurricular ratings as we were of our other victories one student won a national merit scholarship that year and everyone in school felt a personal pride in his accomplishment when visitors from other schools got into law and i guess they could see that the building wasn't the newest or the biggest in the state but that didn't matter we knew any school would probably trade their shiny new buildings for what we had the reputation of being the best school in the state boy i'll never forget the championship game that  wish i could been playing with you but if you just had to take things as they come your way anyway i'm glad i was on the page and i'm just as proud a list trophy as if i hope to win it but in the end he showed us something else he's shown that you can lose like a champion to i think it's wonderful the way you feel about him jimmy and i think you're all wrong what happened just the way i know you saying that the order of events isn't true i'm just saying that you're wrong to give bob corby all of the credit but it was  i know it was about all those things he said on but he says almost the very same thing at every pub assembly without making that much difference by every school has one thing or one person to be proud of the way you're proud of popcorn but how but i did argue with it i argued with her for hours but you know since then i've been wondering more and more is now a right with bob could be really less important than i thought the law in time in any school build our kind of school spirit if it looks around to see all the things it has to be proud of and then support the win lose or draw i don't know what do you think
