Page Forty-Nine R 1- - Joi e, Q Ignguftura Moms 57 RELIGIO-If there is o11e thing in particular that Elmira Catholic High School stands for in the minds of her graduates, it is her splendid religious training and atmosphere. As a result, we shall go forth into the world, armed not only with that practical knowledge afforded by an ordinary high school course, but also with a knowledge of how to attain life 's ultimate goal - the saving of our immortal souls. No amount of earthly wisdom can ever com- pare with the truths of our holy Faith. The preparation for that life which will endure throughout eternity is, therefore, rightly the foremost a.i1n of our beloved Alma Mater. GULTURA-It is also important that we learn those values which make life worthwhile and enjoyable. The necessity of preparation for one's work in this life needs little emphasis in this age of specialization. For all of her students whether they are to continue their studies in college or to enter the business field immediately, Catholic High has her gifts of refinement. The future of each individual is largely of his own making. Those of 'us who will continue our studies realize to an ever-increasing degree the part our days at Catholic High have had in fitting us to meet the demands of a modern college educationg and judging only from the success of those to whom our school has already given a business foundation, it suffices to say that she looks to her record with just pride. In short, she has given us all that is demanded of any secondary school - the necessary practical knowledge in her college entrance and business courses, and an appreciation of those things that make up man 's great inheritance of culture. MORES-Education is certainly more than the acquisition of knowledge, more than the maste1'y of the arts and sciences. The formation of character -- of our morals - is the ultimate end of education. Discipline and stan- dards of conduct are really then the goal to which all learning is directed. Through four years our ideals have been in the process of development - these are ours forever. We can never, therefore, entirely leave our beloved school behind for always we shall carry part of her with us in the careful instruction that she has given us in religion, in culture, in character training. Due to this three-fold education received at Catholic High, we are prepared to go forth having on the armor of God , the breastplate of justice , the helmet of salvation , and armed with the sword of truthl' and the shield of faith 'i -A equipped to serve God, our country, and our fellowmen.
