Mrs. Florence Newcomb Faculty Advisor SCHOOL SPIRIT Nature, in her far-seeing wisdom, has endowed everyone with more or less of life and vigor or spirit. Some, she has blessed with more than others, but to all she has given the possibility of its developments. If we do not have as much as we should, it is up to us to develop this factor which constitutes so import¬ant a part of our being. Have we the loyalty, the enthusiasm or the spirit to stand by anything that is for the betterment of that school of which we are a part? Have we the spirit we should have? If not, what is wrong? Is the trouble with each of us individually, or is it with some¬one else? In most cases we shall find it with ourselves. Are we sup¬porting our student body, our team, our school paper, and all other ac¬tivities that need support? We may not be able to support our team physically for some reason or other but we can support them financially and with our enthusiasm. We may not be able to support our school paper by being a member of the staff, but we can support it by our contributions and enthusiasm. It is also an expression of our school spirit to support those who support us, those who advertise in the Tiger, for example. These are the men who really make our paper possible. They help us to make our institution bigger and better. Let us do a like service for them and when we need anything don't forget that school spirit, which makes our Alma Mater dear to us, and patronize those men who are boosting for the betterment of our school. —Louise Zeller. —O-H-S— SPORTSMANSHIP At the beginning of the athletic season the attention of the school should be called to that spirit which constitutes real sportsmanship. It has, of course, been gratifying to all of us that we have already won the three Division football games we have participated in. However, it must be borne in mind that in the course of a season we may lose some games. It is easy enough for an or¬ganization to be cheerful when its teams are winning, but the real test comes when a game is lost; for a team really needs the support of the school when it has been defeated. So many people in this world fail ut¬terly to realize that in every contest one side or the other must lose. The greatest and most lasting value to be derived from athletics is the lesson that teaches you how to be cour¬ageous, brave, and cheerful in the face of defeat. Boys must learn while they are yet boys that they cannot win all the time. I believe this to be the law of life. Sometimes I believe that the world loves a cheerful loser to the same degree that it loves a cheerful giver. If the losing team has played the game they have won something of far more im¬portance than the larger end of a football score. In the greater con¬flict with themselves, which all must experience, they have been victorious. —Roy Kirkland. OVERSEAS CAPS In the cadet's new article of attire a new mode of expression has been found. The possibilities of this hith¬erto rather obscure cap are unlimited. New fields of psychology and analy¬sis are opened. Beside the easy attainment of a Naploneonic attitude by the simple process of turning the cap at right angles to its original position, many other original and clever modes are readily discovered. These modes in¬dicate fairly accurately the character of various people. There is the cocky individual who appends his hat at a dangerous angle. There is the sulky person who ex¬hibits ill temper and discontent at rules by jamming the offending cap on in its most unbecoming position. A little care would make a decided improvement. Then there is the undecided soul who wears his cap differently every day, each position a little worse than the last. His in¬ability to strike and maintain a happy medium indicates his indeci¬sion in more important matters. So, by observing the rakish tilt of the overseas cap, we may estimate the mental state and temperament of the wearer. One suggestion for improvement has been offered.—Ear-flaps are pro¬vided, but no eye-shades. This slight¬ly discommodes cadets when they are forced to face the sun. Aside from a matter of comfort, however, the vote is almost unani¬mous in the improved appearance of the corps. Clothes make the man, and overseas caps are certainly snappy and military looking. The novelty of the cap will soon wear off, good-natured quips will stop, and the cap will go merrily on its way undisturbed. —O-H-S— WINTER Falling leaves and frosty air tell us that once more the year has rolled around and King Winter's reign is about to begin. Already his fierce herald, North Wind, has blown his chill breath upon us and sent us scampering to our firesides. A day of falling snow has warned us that the battle of the season is almost over, with the white monarch's vic¬tory assured. Br-r-r woolens and flannels and furs appear on every hand, as the reluctant populace asknowledges Ceres' abandonment of her tasks. But there are those who welcome the coming of the God of the Hearth. Where is the small boy whose eyes do not dance as he thinks of the snowballs he will make; who is the child who does not thrill at the thoughts of skating and sledding? And who is the High school girl or boy who does not relinquish all re¬grets for the passing of warmer sea¬sons, when he remembers—basketball. The football season is nearly over. But as the boys doff their helmets, they don their togs for the indoor game. With a triumphant football season, behind them, they look for¬ward to a to-be-successful basketball year. Already one peppy individual has put on the trunks and orange sweater and ventured, out into the open—perhaps as a political adver-tisement. Dad may grumble about the furnace, and mother may worry over damp clothing and little feet that waded with shoes on. But the owner of those shoes has no thought ex¬cept for the unrestrained enjoyment of the sports in the great white-man¬tled world. And big brother looks forward with unabated pleasure to thoughts of basketball. A college yell according to the idea of a Japanese schoolboy, aged 35: "Sissy boom! What is wrong with us? By investigation we find We are considerably all right. Therefore, Hurrah, HURRAH." Norma: "Why are you so sad?" Zinn: "Oh, I was just thinking this would be our lase evening to¬gether until tomorrow night." Mrs. Newcomb: (to Bill Cox) "Have you read 'As You Like It'?" Bill: "No." Mrs. Newcomb: "Have you read Burke's Conciliation?" Bill: "No." Mrs. N.: "Well, what have you read?" Bill: "I have red hair." KEEP IN STEP WITH TIME There is nothing so universally hated as that stupid person, common¬ly called a "bore." The world likes to be amused and entertained and even at times, to be instructed, but never, never does it like to be bored. There is no greater bore than the slow, passive creature who is about a thousand years behind the times. Many things happen each day, and numerous changes are continually taking place—things in which the world is vitally interested because of their newness. The world has no love for those oft-hashed over sub¬jects that are no longer strange and mysterious, unless perhaps the mat¬ter be so old as to be half forgotten when its age makes it interesting. Everyone can read and nearly every¬one can afford some sort of current literature; and even if he cannot afford that, he can keep his eyes and ears open and thus "pick up" many phases of interest. It is these very details that make the dry facts really worthwhile. As Tennyson says "the old order changeth, yielding place to new." And it is the man who is alive to the new order who will get along. Originality and pep will carry one a long way, but the one who is ahead instead of behind the times will win in the run for success. The friends whom every man covets and cherishes are not often acquired by the plodding, phlegmatic individual who doesn't "know enough to come in out of the rain." If one is to be well liked he must be up to the min¬ute, must keep in step with time. —O-H-S— The Sweet Shop 24th & Jefferson Candy, School Supplies Drugs and Sundries Xmas Cards at Chas.
