Since this is the Christmas season maybe a dis
cussion of the word "spirit" would be appropriate,
especially as it pertains to school spirit. Spirit is a
mental state, all in your head as the saying goes.
It is an emotional reaction to a certain situation. You
feel happy or -sad, high spirits or low spirits. Your,
feelings or emotions may cause you to be unable to
do the things which in your judgment are the right
things. This is very true among young people. Many
do not have the will and determination to do what
they themselves know is the correct thing because
their spirit or emotions concerning the situation is
low.
There is much talk in every school about school
spirit. School spirit is not a thing one can turn off
