I f , 'OF THE PEOPLE L if ts f f M 6, N Chaminadc is Catholic . . , not because the fundamental law of the land grants full civil and religious liberty to Catholics and other religious bodies, but because the school, the student body, and the faculty are good citizens, guided by the virtues of justice and charity and devoted to the welfare of their country. Here we are taught that if a man is pious in his religion and loyal to his govern- ment, he is Catholic in his action. And so it is at Chaminade. School spirit is no mere pharse with us . . . it is a reality! It is alivef That is why we have enjoyed suc- cess in our activities despite our small num- ber. One hundred percent cooperation is needed and we have it. Whether it be an athletic contest. scholastic competition or a dance, you can count on the students of Cham- inade every time. If it is an intra-school ac- tivity such as newspaper work, Booster Club, C.S.M.C.. a drive or a show . . . we're in there giving our best. It has always been thus at Chaminade and we're proud of itf Chaminade High is truly a school Hof the people with justice and equality for all.
