Sportsmanship:

When I was at North Sydney Boys’ High School in 1957, the Headmaster, Mr Mason, during assembly in the morning, from time to time, would announce the winners of some sporting event in which our team had taken part. We would, of course, cheer for our team, but he also insisted we give a round of applause for the opposing team if they’d won. He explained that if anybody had beaten our team, they had to be pretty good and worthy of praise. That was simply good sportsmanship, and we get very little of it these days.
