The basic unit of the class, the typical Powerman, has always excelled when the pressure of competition was upon him. The burning thirst for victory or accomplishment in all his academic desires, deeply embedded in him has been lavishly distributed among each and every Power student. Our school has had more than its share of honor students and sports stars, but the greater significance, the Powermen who may never win a trophy or award, those who form the backbone of the school, are nlled with the spiritual unity, and loyalty and persistence, of proportions unequalled in many gen- erations. What makes this change which brings about the typical Power student? The answer lies with the class, the basic unit of the school, the society of boys that build the society of men. The classrooms of Power have seen many groups pass through year after year. It greets bright new faces, watches them progress in their studies, struggle with their problems, learn to respect others. and finally observe the formation of a class, united in action. spirit, purpose and accomplish- ments and distinguished as a group rather than a band of individuals. When June comes, no longer are they the same students who entered in September. They leave with an implacable band unit in them. As the selfishness of the individual gave way to the good of all, class spirit was formed and boys became men. From class pride evolves the traditional school spirit. Today, Powerites support their class, tomorrow they support their religion, community and government. Of all the traits of Powermen which make the quality of the class, some are more noticeable than others. The instances where Powerites, bolstered by the true appli- cation of Christ in education, have returned the trust placed in them, glow like diamonds, studded in the past of Power Memorial. Our students have appeared on radio and tele- vision programs pertaining to the interest of high school students, since the school's beginning. Power has long been recognized as the leading exponent of Catholic teen-age thought, and has been frequently called upon to express it. The deeply embedded trait of those who attend Power is their generosity as a class. They answer the call of the less fortunate either by donations to the mission collection or the annual tobacco drive for the aged men. Through these factors, the classes of Power display the authentic spirit and zeal, so much their Hallmarks, for the past twenty-five years.
