SCHO 0L LIFE Essentialty, every school is composed of three basic elements: its building, its personnel, and its Curricu- 1um.These components form a rough sketch of what the school is. But the real union of these ele- ments depends on the school7s Vitality, for no school can be what it is without its chschool life. tLSChool life:3 makes things tick. On and around campus, the various religious, social, and athletic functions give zest t0 the monotony of classroom schedules. The oneness ofthe student body, the community spirit, becomes enlivened through these activities, while the mutual pride and respect for the school among students and faculty becomes en- riched through them. It is basically hschool life which harmonizes all aspects of the education pro- cess. Whatever the event may be, its place in the calendar of ttschool lifeja activities is not only benehcial t0 the students but also to the school. It is through these events that the vitality of Roger Bacon remains at its traditional peak Thus, hschool life functions as an indispensable key in keeping the channels of education free for future years.
