Page 10 text:

Every student has for his ultimate goal the day of grad- uation, when he will receive his diploma in recognition of scholastic attainment. Among other things, this diploma will symbolize in its color scheme and format the characteristics peculiar to Chaminade. A look at the diploma at subsequent intervals will recall the experiences associated with Chami- nade High School. The Crimson and Gold school colors typify most exactly the spirit we have known here at Chaminade. The Crimson is symbolic of the genuine vital forces that operate at this school. ln the same way that physical life is maintained in a body wherein the blood stream flows and operates properly, so is scholastic life nurtured when all elements contribut- ing to its growth are genuine and sound. Scholastic life at Chaminade is genuine and sound. lt emphasizes the soul, the mind, and the body. Religion develops the soul, study trains the mind, and athletics strengthen the body. All three aim to prepare the student to take his place in society, Hence, life is promoted, the Crimson color band indicates this vital growth. On the other hand, these life-giving forces must be di- rected properly. Generosity will enable the student to co- operate with the faculty towards definite achievements. The home, furthermore, will assist both student and faculty to- wards these achievements. The Gold of generosity, therefore, will gradually lead the student to become more efficient, to assume reponsibility, to grow morally, and to exercise tolerance. ln a word, such an individual becomes a leader drawing his inspiration from the Catholic Faith that moti- vates all his actions, from the faculty members who direct him, from parents whom he respects, and from fellowmen who have distinguished themselves. Hence, it is apparent that our life at Chaminade has had a very definite philosophy. lt is as true as it is profound. lt is as real today as it was four years ago when we first dis- covered it. Its undying significance we dedicate under the symbols of the Crimson and Gold. Crimson and Go-ld
