Description

School Spirit: The general idea concerning school spirit is that it is manifested only in supporting athletics. This is, however, a very mistaken idea. Of course school spirit is shown very clearly by students going out and cheering the team along, for nothing speaks better for school spirit than a good cheering section. But one peculiar thing noticeable in much of the cheering is that often when the team is winning there is a roar of applause; but, when the team is not doing so well, when it most needs support, all too often the school yell is missing. Why, instead, can the cheering not be the loudest when the team is losing? At such a time a hearty cheer is more really helpful than one given when the team is winning. It will often revive the spirit of the team and will give it inspiration to play all the better.
