TEAMWORK.

Ruth E. H

opkins, '25.

There is something about our own school that
in the afteryears makes us connect only good times
and cheery companionship with it; something that

makes us proud to say we belonged there.

That

something is school spirit-the same spirit that
sends a basket ball team onto the floor fighting,

Teamwork should

not stop

sports

athletics but should be carried out through the
routine of school work and through social activi-
ties.
We must be interested in our studies--anxious

that our marks are good.

But it is not enough

in the face of defeat, for their school;

the same

spirit that makes our annual possible; makes our

play worth

while-in fact, accounts for all

"big things" in high school life.
Reams could be written about school spirit-

been.

defined, illus-

treated, and lauded times without number.

makes school spirit?

Why do some

schools have it while others don't?
It rests entirely with the group. Kipling's
words about the army may be applied here with
equal truth:
"It's not the individual
Nor the army as a whole,

But the everlastin

Teamwork

Of every blooming' soul."

It is the teamwork of every single soul working
for one goal-the glory of the school. That is

that we think only of ourselves-we should ex-
plain the things we understand to those who do
not grasp them so readily, and so help the students
of our school to succeed.
Almost the same is true of our social activities,
for we find that if we put our work and ourselves
into the affair, we have enjoyed it much more. If
we can make others enjoy it too-we have added
another happy event to our school calendar.

Thus,

bv working with and for each other-

by constant teamwork-we can preserve and add
to that living, breathing thing-school spirit.

but instead, talks quietly-still, it's true, some-
times with an edge that is quite effective.
She is patient with our stupidity in problems
and questions that are oh! so easy, after she has

explained.

She knows physics and algebra from

all points; more remarkable than that, she under-
stands and appreciates our hardships, and sym-

pathizes with us in

them.

Though

she is ever

ready to explain, yet, at the same time, she makes
us think.
As a native of Minnesota she first came to us,

Miss Adela Bakewell came to us from

four years.

Though she has a wonderful knowl-

edge of ancient and modern history, she confines

her teaching

to household

elementary and advanced.
To those students who know her only in the
assembly hall, and are not in any of her classes,

she seems unapproachable.

She has a firm belief

that anyone who does not do what he is told de-
serves reproof, and she doesn't hesitate to admin-
ister such to any deserving culprit.

At other times she forgets her work

Cristobal High School has indeed been fortu-
nate in having Miss Helen Currier as itstnusic
supervisor. For five years she has worked "wh
our choruses, and at the end of each year has Sup-
plied the commencement program with numbers
that fittingly express her lofty purpose in music:
It is no easy task to direct a chorus of boys and
girls. It demands tact, and willingness to meet
and conquer obstacles. Though, at times, we are
not attentive, Miss Currier never is impatientj a;
few well-chosen words rouse us into watchfulns,.
and encourage us to do better. ,
Not only do choruses claim her, but our school

long as she resides in the Canal Zone.

The heart, that in the night
Amidst its rows of cargo;

is still

SDarkened now,
Its doors closed tight,
The pier stands in the night.

Electric lights describe half

arcs,

But their beams pierce not the gloom,
Where crates and boxes
Round are stacked;
Where the musty smell of
Long-stored goods
Pervades the darkness;

Where by day, the human's

puny efforts

Are looked down on by the rafters,
From whose grim and dusty grayness
Echoes hack the mortal's cry.

The heart that throbs with life by day
Between its rows of cargo;
The heart that hears, now, only waves
Whose swish seeps thru the shadow.
But hears by day
The clanging bell,
The ship's shrill siren,
The clanking of the crane chains,
And the fall of freight to dock;
The heart that hears, as ships go out,
The stifled sob,
The farewell, carefully spoken;
That sees the kerchief flutter in the breeze
And the tear hastily concealed.

TIE IDEAL GRADUATE.
To me the ideal graduate is not just the one who has always
acquired good marks. I think an ideal graduate is one who
has gained ia general idea of the various studies in high school
and can apply this knowledge to his everyday life; whose
high school education has made him abler to determine be-
tween right and wrong and strengthened him to choose be-
tween them; whose constant association with different kinds
of people has enlarged his sympathies and taught him con-
sideration for others; in short -whose mind has been broad-
ened, whose ability to reason has been developed, amnd whose
ambitions have been prompted. Irene Hopkins, '26.

EDUCATION.

Educ

action, a priceless thing! The imparting of knowl-

edge; mental and moraln training-the cultivation of the
mind and soul; cornTer stone of every great nation; wise
guide of men through generations, making children of to-
day far richer than the children of vesterday-richer in
knowledge, richer in earning power; the best of means to
put man in touch with his fellowmen for the betterment of
standards; at its best a preparation for complete living.

Education, a priceless thing.

THE

CLASS

OF '26.

Mildred

Neely,

There's a class in Cristobal High Sch
Of students twenty-eight;
You'll hear of them in the future
At the top of every slate.

To tell you of these students rare
'Twill take a verse apiece,
Yet will not give them honor due,
Nor record each pet caprice.

Miss Barnhouse first we'll mention,
For she's our class adviser.
We do our best in school and play
To show how high we prize her.

To cap the Junior roster-

Our future

"Hall of Fame -

We'll open it with 'Nola Bliss,
And add, in turn, each name.

Manola's a Zone-born lassie,
Of whom we're very proud;
A happy-go-lucky youngster,
Who whispers more than's allowed.

From Canada came a lassie
About two years ago;
Hildegarde Blythe has won our lov
And she's loyal to us, we know.

The Junior Class is very proud,
WVilliam Clinchard to list your name;
So true-blue and trusty a lad
Ought in future to bring us fame.

She's good at school, at home,

Of all the class, for President
Irene Hopkins we have chosen-
None else could lead us thru the
With less friction and confusion.

We really think that Tennessee
Must be a grand old state,
Because Bess Long, a native,
Just came from there of late.

Helen Keene is a transfer
From the "silver side," Balboa;

She's tiny-but not too tiny
To be loved by all who know her.

To prove to us that all improve
Who really will to do it,
Johanna Kleefkins shows a gain
That makes us want to do it.

Last March there came a sad event,
When from us went a sailing
A loyal, ardent Junior,
Wallace Johnson we are naming.

When a dependable girl

One looks to the Junior Class,
And finds in it Delilah May,
Whom no one can surpass.

Carlos Pulgar's from Gatun, too;
His jokes are keen and deep.
His marks would be much better
If he'd work instead of sleep.

A shark she is at basket ball,
At jumping she is great,
Elizabeth Shepley just this year
Has walked in thru our gate.

When you want to read a story,
The kind you like the best,
Just read one of Clarice Steenburg's,
And-we'll leave to you the rest.

With those who come to us each day
From the edge of Gatun Pond,
Is Dorothea Tufts, a girl
Of whom every one is fond.

She is a studious student-
Which in Panama is rare-
But our Gay Turner studies well,
And is our secretary fair.

Just a little tiny noise

we see

her jump quite high.

Emma Lee Worsley's not nervous-
Oh! no! She's only shy.

But she goes across to Panama
To help the week-ends pass.

"What can Billy Mclntyre do?"
Is a question to which we respond:
"He can play every game that you can name,
And of every sport he is fond."

The public thinks Betty Warren
The best looking in C. H. S.
And all who look upon her

Will not think it

To finish the Junior roster-

Our future

"Hall of Fame"-

We'll end it with Dorothy Vaughan
She's gone, but we honor her name.

A good sport, a good friend,
A good player and comrade true,
Dorothy Vaughan is all of these,
And is a good worker, too.

Rosalind waved to him from the terrace until
he rode through the postern gate and ftrdetd the
Wyve. There were tears in her eyes, but she smiled
to him bravely. At the end of the forest, he
turned in his saddle and saluted her with his
sword. Then, spurring his horse, he disappeared
in the forest shadows.
Every evening she waited for him on the terrace
looking toward the postern gate and the Wye River,
for he had promised to return at evening, the
happiest hours of their day together. J)uring
these months it was young Orlando, who escorted
her to the great hall, and little Celia who soothed
her by her childish prattle. Then the Duke
Senior, her father, died, leaving her to bear her
sorrows alone. Rosalind yearned for Celia's
sympathy and comforting presence; but Cella and
Oliver were in France. She tried bravely, but
she failed to hide her heartache from the observ-
ing lad of sixteen summers. That she tried to
hide it made the boy tenderer to and more con-
siderate of his mother, and he tried to fill his
father's place during his absence. Thus a
comradeship grew up between the two, so that

As Amy Lowell would describe the Golf Course:
Grass,
Smooth grass,
Rough grass,
Pretty grass,
Ugly brown grass,
More grass-green grass;
Bright green,
Shining green,
Glowing growing green,
Soft feathery green,
Rough rugged green,
Blue green,
Yellow green,
Oh, the glorious greens of the grass.

A short distance away I saw a beautiful

occasions, I sallied forth one morning with a hasti-

jar in the other, and a handy size bottle of ether
bulging from my hip pocket.
I felt that I was the terror of every butterfly

I was not to be trifled with; so I set out at a round

silent execrations.
These are fair examples of how the rest of the

empty handed.
I was met at the door by my brother who eager-

THE DIVING BOYS AT HAITI.

They might not have good diving form but one of

I awoke early that morning and sat up with a jerk.
At first I thought we must be tied up at the dock be-
cause there was so little motion in the boat; but
then I heard the steady throb of the engines. I
jumped out of bed and took a hasty glance out of
the porthole at the mountains looming up in the
distance, the while pulling on the essential parts
of my clothing, leaving the rest until later.
After this negligible toilette I rushed out on deck,
and although it was only about five-thirty I found
other people already on deck-some of the men in
bath robes and slippers-all glad of the glimpse of
land, which surely is a welcome sight after several
days of seeing nothing but water.
I waited around on deck hoping to be the first

one to see Port-au-Prince.

At about seven o'clock

[ saw some white dots against the green mountains

ahead.

At seven-thirty we were almost there and

I could distinguish the separate buildings, most
of them white, with the cathedral and president's
palace standing out among the lesser buildings.
The only movement I could discern was that of a

peculiar

looking group of small

boats near

pier. Then the gong for breakfast sounded and
I was so hungry by that time that no sight in the
world could have kept me away from the table.
From the dining room I could hear the shouts
of the men, the clanking of the windlasses, and the
myriad other noises which accompany the prepara-
tions for docking a ship; and finally the dock sheds
of Port-au-Prince began to slide past the portholes
of the dining room.
Hurriedly finishing my breakfast I hastened out
on deck to see the docks, but I was soon attracted
to the other side of the boat by the sight of a large
number of passengers crowding to the rail, seem-

ingly throwing money into the water.

I ran over

and upon elbowing my way to the rail, there met
my eye a unique sight, which accounted for the
number of boats I had seen near the dock.
Alongside the ship was a fleet of small home-

made boats, manned by Haitian boys.

All that

them always got the money.

Some even assured

us that for a quarter they would dive down and
bring up some mud just to prove that they had
reached the bottom.
All of the boats had a supply of bricks and boards
and a fight was not uncommon.
Besides these bos there were also some older

but merely rowed

slowly up and down the side of the ship watching

for prospective customers.

If one wanted any-

thing from one of the boats, upon a signal the man
would row over and toss up a line with a basket
attached to one end, into which he would put the

purchase.

The basket was then hauled up by the

customer and the purchase taken out, after which
it was lowered with the money in it.
I saw some boys get oranges and alligator pears
from these fellows by giving them small cakes of
soap which they had taken from the bathroom
and their staterooms.

A TRIBUTE TO A MOTHER-INSPIRED

Dearest Mother:
Christmas is almost here, the first I have ever

spent without you.

Never until now have I fully

realized and appreciated all that you have done
for us. I shall miss your cakes and candy, the

of it all.

But more than these, I shall miss you.

I shall miss the light that shines in your eyes, ten-
der and beautiful, when you look at us, happy and

at our gifts;

the glad, mysterious note that just

will be heard in your voice, when you softly open
the bedroom door, and wake us with a kiss, and,

was

increased

tenfold

by the lack of

proper equipment, and the difficulty of

getting

together for practices.

scholastic meets in tennis and basket ball

in a way

in which much credit is due them

for their sportsmanlike behavior.
