A speech encouraging school spirit. The speech states that one demonstrates school spirit not through hatred of other schools, but by attending school functions of all sorts, by respecting school property, and by being well-behaved, polite, and enthusiastic. At the top right hand corner of the first page is handwritten in pencil, "I think it is excellent" with the word excellent underlined. A few orthographic corrections have been made in ink. On the reverse side of the third page is written in pencil, "Grammar in Use Book 3 by Wilson" and then something illegible. Near the bottom of that page are written the numbers, "41 3 1 8 10 9 5 13 4 12 30-12 23-13"
