IN DEFENSE OF HiOH SCHOOL
SPIRIT
Editor Sentinel:
An article in yesterday's issue of
the eniinel concerning Norwalk High
School spirit was “rubbing it in" some-
what too hard and unjustly. They gay
hub-was
it the truth" We must concede, how-
eIer. that the article mntalned some
truth. it does seem rathEr strange
that one should thus misrepresent the
school spirit amongst the boys and
still be telling the truth. You will
now ask as to what extent this is'
true. Allow me sir, if space will per-
mit. to answer that question to satisv
faction.
/
To begin with. I will acquaint your
writer of the high school notes, of e):
istiug conditions in Nora-aik "13,-!
School, with which evidently the per-
son is not familiar. There are two
kinds of men, one talks. while the
other sets! These two extreme class-
es are in abundance in the school.
Strange to say, both extremities claim
to be highly school spirited, fact us in-
vestigate further and observe the in-
fluences these classes have upon Nor-
walk High School activities. Here we
must admit that eloquent speech is
grand and uplifting-provided it
in its proper place and suits the ac-
tion to the word. The former class of
men. nsmelv those who talk much, are
exercising their influences and “bill
ties, if it ruav be called such (7) in
the wrong direction. instead of assist.
lag. thy are discouraging and iryinr:
to down the conscientious actions of
those who menu buslncw. To say the
least of the lack of facilities that are
'"esscntial to high stiioi athletics ard‘
various activities.
This. i admit. is rather a ten seri-
ous charge to make, but it is evident.
This is simply expressing the. semi
meat of a great majority in the school
liowover. speaking for myself. my
statements are backed up bv existing
conditions in the school of the vari-
ous activities other than scholastic, A
sound body is essential to a well do
velopcd brain. Who is it necessary to
apply the name “informal" to a high
school team?
Your arti'ic also stated that Nor-
walk High School is no loncer recog-
nized amongst the other high schools
as far as athletics :irI- concerned. .‘iav
l inquire the source of your mislead-
ing information? in spite of the fact
that the local lads are grcntlv handi-
capped by the lack of a gymnasium.
and a competent coach, they have
fought to maintain our siliooi stand
inc honorablv amongst the other high
schools of the state. This has been
the case wltii those who not to show
r
l
i
t
is
their “shoot spirit and not talk about
it.
Those composing the Norwalk High
School informal basketball team are
only a few of those fellows of the lat-
ter class.
es of the Stamford High students for
our team? Have they not succeeded
in maintaining the honorable standing
in clean sportsmanship that Norwalk
has always been noted for? They have
played as official representatives of
the school. Furthermore thev have
risked consequences in order to main-
tain that stunding' And with what
result? To receive the censure of
those'gentleu'en who call themselves
"school spirited."
in conclusion. 1 wish to state that
in the future it would be advisable to
exercise a little more discretion in
your high school notes as to what you
bring before the public approval. it
might be well to note also how to
avert a trifle of your sarcasm about
high school ipi it, and remember, con
struttiie criticism will help horwalk
High School activities further than
your destructive criticism!
