THE DRAGON^ S FLAIffi by Gene Dunn SCHOOL SPIRIT A high percentage of our stu dents hold part time or full time jobs. We don’t have boarding stu dents. As one consequence, the school is virtually a day school attended by students v/ho,under these circumstances,cannot have as much group contact as other institutions do. One result of this is that these various fac tors are conf“licts and barriers to school spirit. Without attemp ting to define this phrase in terms of "Dear Old Si^^/ash”, a prac tical illustration will demon strate the necessity and one type of campus solidification on the basis of school spirit. Our basketball team....can use more student backing... they appre- ciat2 what little cheering has been given them, and they have proven themselves to be a v;inning team that can and does play good ball. Good enough for us to sup port them more than v/e have. Un til now, most, if not all, of the school GiDirit given them has been by„, oCheerleadersc..We feel that these girls should be congra^iu- lated and applauded for their fine performances. We know that each one of them has inconven ienced herself in order to attend the games, hoping that their ef forts V7ill help the team. Sadly enough, they have not been appre ciated and have endured remarks that we, personally, would not have stood for. Nevertheless, v/e hope that by showing publically our gratitude of their staunch and consistent work that our knowledge and appreciation of their efforts will be extended to the entire student body. We also feel that our cheerleaders are the igniting and propelling force behind this facet of school spi rit. They are indespensible and necessatu for the unification of student participation in school functions of this type.
