Mr. Gallup Speaks
Last vVednesdll :y afternoon I he stu-
dents of the high sehool were ex-
tl'emely flortunate in h_aving . the .o.p-
porttunity of hearing M'r. Giarlllup.
He spoke to the studen' s on the
subject of cooperation or teamwork.
Mr. Gallup silid that "Cooperation
iSJ so .. governing ourselves ' :hat others
c:1.n .work with us.''
He said that the most contempti-
ble name a person could hav:e is thal
of 111 ".grand pJ.ayer.'' He em-
phasized the that it &hould be
f-or the g-ood of the e<lass, school, or
community i hat a thing should be
clone and nq f<>r the a person
oould cbtiJffn by doing it.
\Mr. Gallup s:uated thrf c-ooperation
is absolutely essential in every husi-
nes&, and thatJ coope1ntion is the
grel:fest product of the American
schools today.
Cooperrat'ion is developed frorr. a
good &chool spirit and if a per:s.on hoa.s
a .good school spirit they will have . a
g-ood community spirit, 1a1nd that in
:urn will develop into the ,great spirit
that .won the great W-orld War and_
the spirit ; that . does great r'. :hings.
MI\ Gallup's rspeech was very in-
ceresting IJnd instructive and he left
the students a better idea of what is
expected of them by the school, :r'he
oomm'l!Jnity, and the ion.-Ge-rald
wheeler.
