1
00:00:36,32 --> 00:00:40,63
So this is the famous hangout the place
where a large high facts about Bob every

2
00:00:40,63 --> 00:00:43,05
other school. This is
this they get a command.

3
00:00:43,07 --> 00:00:44,84
I don't know why I'm from what

4
00:00:44,84 --> 00:01:08,51
but I tell me came from our relationship

5
00:01:08,52 --> 00:01:14,07
break down by causing
some of your company.

6
00:01:14,10 --> 00:01:15,94
This is my cousin

7
00:01:15,94 --> 00:01:22,12
and I haven't paid her for the time the
way they would go to a file because I

8
00:01:22,12 --> 00:01:26,79
wanted to meet interesting people because
like this is just what I protect

9
00:01:29,33 --> 00:01:31,75
Barat or boil or.

10
00:01:33,57 --> 00:01:40,39
This is a nice site make even the home to
the armband there from the high school

11
00:01:40,39 --> 00:01:44,89
service without ringing doorbells were
trying to boost United Fund of the top.

12
00:01:45,82 --> 00:01:49,62
I got everyone on my blog sign up early
this afternoon to spend your Saturday

13
00:01:49,62 --> 00:01:54,22
working for the United fans. If it
were anyone but you kids and lawyers.

14
00:01:54,37 --> 00:01:57,49
I wouldn't believe it. That's
pretty wonderful you know it.

15
00:01:58,22 --> 00:01:59,58
Actually we had a lot of fun doing it.

16
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:08,91
I guess the town made get out of bed.

17
00:02:09,89 --> 00:02:10,84
You know.

18
00:02:10,86 --> 00:02:15,94
You've really got it here at large really
got what maybe you think I'm kind of

19
00:02:15,94 --> 00:02:21,32
corny but you've really got the
right kind of school spirit going.

20
00:02:22,06 --> 00:02:25,60
I wish the kids at West Point had a small
idea of some of the things your sister.

21
00:02:25,63 --> 00:02:27,02
What's wrong with the sport.

22
00:02:27,14 --> 00:02:32,13
You've got here I can remember how you
all came down even a football game.

23
00:02:32,45 --> 00:02:37,98
Man I never saw so much spirit
but got a sort of spirits

24
00:02:38,94 --> 00:02:39,64
but here it's different.

25
00:02:40,69 --> 00:02:45,03
Your school spirit seems to be working
in everything you do it doesn't make any

26
00:02:45,03 --> 00:02:49,12
difference if it's thoughts or debate
a competition for a scholarship.

27
00:02:49,82 --> 00:02:53,10
We know that Lawrence High is always
going to be the hardest to beat

28
00:02:53,91 --> 00:02:59,52
and every student body in the state
feels the same way about a big school.

29
00:03:00,86 --> 00:03:07,27
I can't be the reason you're always on top.
So why are you guys it is hard to say.

30
00:03:09,72 --> 00:03:16,33
But if you ask me I tape Corby had a
lot to do with that start could be.

31
00:03:16,35 --> 00:03:21,67
I don't remember about cause he was president
as being your class at all save the

32
00:03:21,67 --> 00:03:27,04
year we were freshmen that
could be. But he's been here.

33
00:03:28,51 --> 00:03:33,09
He's been gone from Lauren
Child. He left his mom.

34
00:03:34,94 --> 00:03:40,35
You know I can remember a little bit
of what it was like before his time.

35
00:03:41,69 --> 00:03:45,12
We had been what everybody thinks
of the school spirit kept.

36
00:03:45,64 --> 00:03:47,76
Here later and plenty of knowing.

37
00:03:59,21 --> 00:04:05,23
Whenever we were. We really couple
of dances starting up and racing up

38
00:04:05,23 --> 00:04:11,18
and down the street blaring car yelling
in the town people didn't get much sleep

39
00:04:11,91 --> 00:04:16,58
and it's a wonder somebody didn't get
to. Sometimes know it wasn't enough.

40
00:04:16,87 --> 00:04:21,81
Sometimes it was kid stuff such as painting
the school officials in places where

41
00:04:21,81 --> 00:04:23,86
they had no business to be.

42
00:04:23,88 --> 00:04:24,80
If we had anything

43
00:04:24,80 --> 00:04:29,66
and we don't know what all this carrying
on was a discredit to the school.

44
00:04:30,88 --> 00:04:34,99
And then let's see. Yes to
the still my freshman year.

45
00:04:35,00 --> 00:04:37,99
We had a purpose and.

46
00:04:38,01 --> 00:04:38,89
It wasn't unusual

47
00:04:38,89 --> 00:04:44,68
but the bad news is the members of
the team talking to the student body

48
00:04:45,71 --> 00:04:50,57
but where. Oh I remember what Bob
Corby said but it was his turn.

49
00:04:51,49 --> 00:04:58,56
And now I have a few words from
our team captain Bob Carr the.

50
00:04:58,58 --> 00:05:00,26
I'm not much of a speaker.

51
00:05:00,74 --> 00:05:06,04
So I guess about all I can
do is tell you what I think

52
00:05:06,04 --> 00:05:09,18
and how the boys on the
team feel about things.

53
00:05:11,19 --> 00:05:14,64
The first thing I think is
if we took a vote right here

54
00:05:14,64 --> 00:05:20,63
and now I would probably be unanimous in
favor of the basketball team not making

55
00:05:20,63 --> 00:05:27,19
speeches in assembly. But
no kid. There's no kids.

56
00:05:28,54 --> 00:05:32,16
You probably don't realize it and
I don't know just how to say it

57
00:05:33,86 --> 00:05:39,11
but all of you out there mean more to the
basketball team than any one of us who

58
00:05:39,11 --> 00:05:43,31
play. We spend a lot of time practice

59
00:05:44,32 --> 00:05:47,73
and a lot of time learning
to play and sometimes

60
00:05:48,66 --> 00:05:51,59
when we get to thinking
we're pretty good but

61
00:05:51,60 --> 00:05:53,06
when the day of the game rolls around.

62
00:05:54,74 --> 00:05:56,55
Well our inside gets changed

63
00:05:57,54 --> 00:05:59,76
and we begin to wonder if we're
really going to be any company.

64
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:04,03
Should be the other team. If
it weren't for all of you.

65
00:06:04,21 --> 00:06:06,92
And the way you feel
about Lauren type two.

66
00:06:08,44 --> 00:06:11,38
We'd be just another band mostly.

67
00:06:12,69 --> 00:06:18,61
You can feel that here right now
right here and it's a simple.

68
00:06:18,63 --> 00:06:23,09
We're all from our We're all for the team.

69
00:06:23,10 --> 00:06:24,86
We want to try to do well

70
00:06:25,60 --> 00:06:30,42
and try to win everything
this is done with

71
00:06:30,42 --> 00:06:32,74
that kind of spirit.

72
00:06:32,75 --> 00:06:37,79
I don't see how we can move.

73
00:06:42,78 --> 00:06:47,32
Well that's true. Right into our
core he was a hero to every kid

74
00:06:48,24 --> 00:06:51,00
and if he did the whole student body with
a point of the scene where we weren't

75
00:06:51,00 --> 00:06:57,70
going to let those little
we began to mean more

76
00:06:57,70 --> 00:07:02,43
than just know if an opposing team
member was shooting a free throw.

77
00:07:02,52 --> 00:07:07,45
We all kept quiet to give him a chance to
make a good win by felt out of the last

78
00:07:07,45 --> 00:07:11,95
minutes with us going to we didn't do the
referee we concentrated on supporting the

79
00:07:11,95 --> 00:07:14,79
players who were still in
that's what Bob was doing.

80
00:07:18,34 --> 00:07:22,26
We all had a new idea of good sportsmanship
that all of us wanted to live up to

81
00:07:23,02 --> 00:07:25,03
and it was setting us straight
toward the championship.

82
00:07:25,49 --> 00:07:28,20
Lauren pry was rated one of
the top teams in the state.

83
00:07:29,95 --> 00:07:30,24
And that's

84
00:07:30,24 --> 00:07:33,75
when it happened right in the middle of
the season halfway to the championship.

85
00:07:34,29 --> 00:07:39,97
Got sick really sick he was a
part of the team with him down.

86
00:07:40,18 --> 00:07:44,63
We didn't know whether the team would
fold or not what really happened was

87
00:07:44,63 --> 00:07:50,29
that it were just the opposite way people
got to thinking about the hospital and.

88
00:07:50,82 --> 00:07:55,49
Everybody became more determined than
ever to carry on like what Bob started.

89
00:07:56,28 --> 00:07:59,81
The coach never said we've got
to win this one for all by.

90
00:08:01,32 --> 00:08:04,47
He was too smart for that he knew that's
what we were all thinking anyway.

91
00:08:06,45 --> 00:08:08,24
Well there was no foolishness at all

92
00:08:08,24 --> 00:08:11,26
and everyone got behind
the team in the way

93
00:08:11,26 --> 00:08:13,77
that it counted not calling
attention to ourselves

94
00:08:14,56 --> 00:08:15,88
but letting them know we were for them.

95
00:08:16,95 --> 00:08:21,26
And you know it was the thing that
carried over into every classroom.

96
00:08:21,28 --> 00:08:26,61
Because when you get right down to it a
classroom is a kind of team to students

97
00:08:26,62 --> 00:08:28,64
and teachers working together
to accomplish something.

98
00:08:30,28 --> 00:08:32,55
If you look at it that way you realize

99
00:08:32,55 --> 00:08:35,91
that there isn't anybody more on your
side than the teacher is whatever class

100
00:08:35,91 --> 00:08:40,00
Shari'a the more we got behind
them the more we realized

101
00:08:40,00 --> 00:08:43,31
that Lawrence had as good
a faculty as any school.

102
00:08:43,33 --> 00:08:45,33
They were teaching a full day's schedule

103
00:08:45,33 --> 00:08:50,15
and then taking on other jobs for the
good of the school jobs like helping plan

104
00:08:50,15 --> 00:08:54,00
constructive assemblies and
working within a real sports

105
00:08:54,00 --> 00:08:55,61
and all sorts of other things.

106
00:08:55,87 --> 00:08:59,34
And we didn't want just the teachers
doing things for the good of the school.

107
00:08:59,66 --> 00:09:04,00
We wanted to do them ourselves in
romance and debate and dramatics

108
00:09:04,00 --> 00:09:10,00
and science class jump way up before
long we were as proud of our scholarship

109
00:09:10,00 --> 00:09:12,76
and extracurricular ratings as
we were of our other victories.

110
00:09:13,68 --> 00:09:16,20
One student won a National
Merit Scholarship that year

111
00:09:16,20 --> 00:09:19,50
and everyone in school felt a
personal pride in his accomplishment

112
00:09:20,79 --> 00:09:24,91
when visitors from other schools got
into law and I guess they could see

113
00:09:24,91 --> 00:09:28,29
that the building wasn't the newest
or the biggest in the state but

114
00:09:28,30 --> 00:09:29,01
that didn't matter.

115
00:09:29,98 --> 00:09:33,91
We knew any school would probably trade
their shiny new buildings for what we had

116
00:09:34,77 --> 00:09:38,28
the reputation of being the
best school in the state.

117
00:09:39,34 --> 00:09:41,38
Boy I'll never forget
the championship game

118
00:09:41,38 --> 00:09:52,43
that you cheerleaders

119
00:09:52,43 --> 00:09:56,62
that knock themselves out on you you know
that spark the whole cheering section.

120
00:10:08,20 --> 00:10:12,34
There was an empty seat in the house by
the time even though of course trying to

121
00:10:12,34 --> 00:10:16,66
claim it wasn't trying to beat it by the
point after all we didn't have a problem

122
00:10:17,97 --> 00:10:23,03
that what you showed us in
every man on the team was

123
00:10:23,03 --> 00:10:26,83
that inspired by a play and watching it.

124
00:10:50,00 --> 00:10:54,13
I was on the student council that year
and I was one of those who went along

125
00:10:54,13 --> 00:11:00,51
when we talked about Corby the championship
trophy. We had was serious. We did it.

126
00:11:01,87 --> 00:11:03,67
Yeah you did

127
00:11:05,96 --> 00:11:07,23
that you can achieve greatness tournaments

128
00:11:09,16 --> 00:11:10,41
and there forget how you came from behind

129
00:11:10,41 --> 00:11:16,97
and one of them I'm feeling just learning
a lesson on the radio I knew just how the

130
00:11:16,97 --> 00:11:23,74
team felt with the school
behind you. Every minute.

131
00:11:26,76 --> 00:11:28,07
Wish I could been playing with you

132
00:11:28,07 --> 00:11:32,13
but if you just had to take
things as they come your way.

133
00:11:34,25 --> 00:11:35,93
Anyway I'm glad I was on the page

134
00:11:35,93 --> 00:11:39,58
and I'm just as proud a list
trophy as if I hope to win it

135
00:11:47,32 --> 00:11:49,49
but I guess you're a member of whatever.

136
00:11:51,42 --> 00:11:54,83
Times and spirit in the world that have.

137
00:11:56,32 --> 00:11:59,13
Got to be.

138
00:12:00,00 --> 00:12:03,69
It was hard to realize it was gone.

139
00:12:06,89 --> 00:12:09,94
But in the end he showed
us something else.

140
00:12:11,87 --> 00:12:15,10
He's shown that you can
lose like a champion to.

141
00:12:18,64 --> 00:12:22,19
I think it's wonderful the way
you feel about him. Jimmy.

142
00:12:25,26 --> 00:12:26,05
And I think you're all wrong.

143
00:12:31,71 --> 00:12:35,11
What happened just the way I know you
saying that the order of events isn't true.

144
00:12:35,98 --> 00:12:38,72
I'm just saying that you're wrong
to give Bob Corby all of the credit

145
00:12:38,72 --> 00:12:43,02
but it was Bob I know it was about
all those things he said on

146
00:12:43,02 --> 00:12:46,61
but he says almost the very same thing
at every pub assembly without making

147
00:12:46,61 --> 00:12:50,16
that much difference by
every school has one thing

148
00:12:50,16 --> 00:12:53,43
or one person to be proud of the
way you're proud of popcorn.

149
00:12:54,74 --> 00:12:59,74
But how many of them carry it any further
they would have if they know there are

150
00:12:59,74 --> 00:13:05,97
kids of Lawrence now who never Bob can't
you see the spirit was there all the time

151
00:13:05,97 --> 00:13:09,25
it wasn't all his doing that brought
it out. You're missing the point.

152
00:13:09,58 --> 00:13:14,87
No I know I'm closer to it than you are
if what you have of Lawrence depended on

153
00:13:14,87 --> 00:13:21,00
Bob Corby that would have died when he did
but it happened it had to be all of you.

154
00:13:22,96 --> 00:13:27,42
How can you argue with a woman.
But I did argue with it.

155
00:13:28,37 --> 00:13:34,35
I argued with her for hours.

156
00:13:41,09 --> 00:13:46,81
But you know since then I've
been wondering more and more.

157
00:13:48,35 --> 00:13:54,26
Is now a right with Bob could be really
less important than I thought the law in

158
00:13:54,26 --> 00:13:58,83
time but was a long time that
made Bob Corby I'm bored.

159
00:14:02,40 --> 00:14:04,80
In any school build our
kind of school spirit.

160
00:14:05,11 --> 00:14:08,49
If it looks around to see all the
things it has to be proud of

161
00:14:09,50 --> 00:14:15,41
and then support the win lose or draw.

162
00:14:15,43 --> 00:14:20,01
I don't know what do you think.
