Assembling the Pieces like the steeple of Saint Peter's Cathedral, which is held in place and reinforced by steel cables, Prep has its own stabilizing pivotal piece. This central piece of the Prep puzzle is the Chris- tian attitude that pervades the institution, and this aspect is supplemented by the rest of the schools parts. The students, the faculty and all of the related activities are guided by the belief in a Christian way of life. ln fact, the basic purpose of the school is the furthering of this Christ-like spirit through the development of prepared and conscientious young men with a Christian outlook on life. A fine example of this llQiving spirit is the repainting of the McDowell pressbox by members of Prep's student government. Following a series of unfortunate events in which each school's property was de- faced by a few over-enthusiastic partisans, Prep men showed their mettle by volunteering to restore the McDowell building to its original condition. Students at Prep always strive to practice their Catholic teachings, whether it be on the football field, at a speech tournament or during the TAC- sponsored Christmas party for refugees.
