Decker second.
With the purpose of the contest to
elevate the spirit of the school. Gold
stein submitted the following essay:
IF il be permissible to define M
term with the aid of another which
has never yet been well defined. then
one might say. school spirit is school
patriotism The saying would be
true, for the spirit hat makes a
school a good one is exactly the same
as which. if IL actuates the heart OF
the patriot. makes the name of the
nation foremost in all b~ranchesi
which pushes II to the fore in social,
economic and military relations with
other lands. So it is with the school;
and just as the school is q concen-
trated nation, the spirit of its stu
dents should be concentrated patriot
ism.
concentrated patriotism! Not the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. n get-a-
chance kind. but the active. virile,
Observation-Disclosures and
Observation-Disclosures kind. which
leads you to give a boosting good
natured comment about your work to
those outside the school.
The genuine school spirit is based
on three main principles; three
things that are of cardinal import
ance. The first is good school work;
the second. helpfulness and interest;
the third, willingness.
"Of the three. by far the most i'm
portant one Is good school work. At
ter all, 1t is not by the number OF
championship teams that a school
turns out, that II is judged. If the
graduating classes, year after year
are composed of students who Just
about passed who got through by the
skin of their teeth" and their educa-
tion therefore extends no further than
the "skin of the teeth" then the rep-
utatlon of the school that grants the
diplomas to such classes Will soon De
worthless. In order to build up a
school whose name Will be lastingly
good, we must do our level best in the
class room, we must do more than
lust enough. for we will never have
done enough until p. A. II s.. grad
yates are in demand and preferred
before graduates of other schools,
"Helpfulness and interest explain
Themselves. We must show an inter-
est in u school activities, our
clubs. our paper. And at all times
we must be anxious to help and TO
give those activities the Lenefts of
our ideas. A passive student Is so
much dead weight and a hindrance to
others.
"Willingness is so broad a subject
that It would be vain to try to exhaust
il But to put 1t briefly, we mean by
this that every individual must. at all
times, be ready to sacrifice leisure
time, after school. social events aho
even some amusements. to put In a
stroke towards the general goal. In
every class there are those who bear
the major part of he burdens and 1t
behooves the rest OF us to share
equally in THE remainder"
