Page 4 - SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Is school spirit lacking at DHS? by Jeanne Freed During my years at DHS, I have seen the school spirit drop to nearly nothing. It really is a shame because our school has in its walls 900 students who have to have the spirit of 9,000. Doesn’t anyone care about what happens at our school. For instance, our dances have been almost complete- ly lacking in student in- terest. We had to be threat- ened with the possibility of no dances at all before 150 people would sign up for the dance. Another example is the class plays. More parents and relatives show than students. After all the hours of work, it would be nice for your friends to show some consideration. They do it to earn money for our class activities. Just a few weeks ago, a perfect example of apathy was displayed. Fri- DHS Ann Studholm Lanc accepting The Lancaster Area Bas- ketball Camp, held at Done- gal High, is accepting applications now. Girls basketball camp runs from June 21 to June 25. Boys camp runs from June 14 to June 18. Campers must provide their own transportation every day. Yearbook area day was S50’s dress up day. Only about ten people dressed in that mode. If everyone had become in- volved, the day would have hit an all time high in spirit for this year. Remember the pep rallies? The first one is so great the beginning of the year. Our spirit was really high. Then, when the seniors seemed to be on a losing streak, they lost all spirit, and the whole school began to cool. If the seniors have adopted that ‘“‘who cares’ attitude, why should the underclassmen feel down? After all, the seniors are supposed to be the school leaders, but who wants to follow leaders who don’t care about anyone except their own little ‘thing’. Personally, I am not able to attend all school activities but there are those who refuse to give their support Staff heads of the 1977 Emerald Yearbook of Done- gal High School were announced Friday by the Junior Class. Ann Stud- holm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Studholm, R.D. #2, Lititz, was named editor- in-chief. An honor student, Miss Studholm is active in the band, chorus, dramatic, and athletic clubs. Hollis Baker was picked to be assistant editor-in-chief. Girls camp is open to girls who will be in grades 7-12 in fall, 1976. Boys who will be in grades 6-12 are eligible. Both camps cost $35 for the week. All campers get free insurance, camp shirts, film instructions, and litera- ture. Girls camp instructors in- clude Mimi Senkowski, ax to anything but themselves. One cannot expect to attend all activities. But when you have a choice of supporting your school or walking around feeling bored, there should be no question as to where you should lie. It is up to us, so let's see some improvement. We have only one chance to being young and free before settling down to jobs or college, and it really is to our advantage to have fun and enjoy our high school life. Come out and join something, and get the ex- perience that you will carry with you throughout life but then it will be simply memory of the ‘‘good ole days.”” Remember, we are only young once, and that is now. We are the future leaders of America. In our hands lies the well being of this country, and if things go on as they are doing, we won’t be having a 300th birthday.
