They are: 1. A good pep band (Ogden High). 2. A winning combination in the games. — 3. Oh yes, one more, a hero on the field.” End of quote. Another’s feelings were, “School spirit is a popular feeling, one of a very faddish nature. Everyone wishes to feel it, since he can feel great, but still part of the crowd when experiencing it—no one likes much spirit to start out.

Suddenly, she felt awkward; everyone out there watched her critically, but she couldn’t see herself. Even her voice sounded strange; she heard it catch. She wondered what other mistakes she had made. She got scared: scared, with the symptoms of eyes that didn’t see, a shaking mock-grin, damp palms. The candidate returned to her place. She had experienced the isolation of examination by a crowd. Now she relaxed in nonentity: only a part of the crowd. p we Maybe COULG ; up to just how much fight one will have.” A school: has spirit if everyone unites for-the same cause.

The candidate sat between two other candidates in the second row of the gymnasium bleachers. She laughed, reassuring her competitor that neither had anything to fear. She nudged the boy next to her and said a few confident words to calm him. She watched critically as each of the other candidates got up to introduce themselves to the student body. Then, her own turn came. Gracefully, she stepped down to the gym floor. Casually, she walked across the empty space which separated her from the microphone.
