Saint Alphonsus High School - Arrow Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

FOREWORD Home to the students of St. Alphonsus means four things: Our family, our school, our Church, our community. The sound prin- ciples absorbed in the home serve as a solid foundation for the practical knowledge we assimilate at school. Our family teaches us to respect each other as creatures of God, we are motivated to loyalty, and a sense of responsibility is established within us. Development of these qualities in each one of us is the school's main objective. The Church gives us the spiritual determina- tion to apply these principles to our every endeavor. As we become citizens of the community, we will naturally fulfill the ideals of our training. In the division pages we present some of the familiar landmarks of Dearborn. These typify a spirit of leadership for our officers as they fulfill the responsibilities which are theirs in the guidance and direc- tion of our activities. As these well known sites stimulate and enervate our future, the words of our school VICTORY SONG inspire us to a realization and fulfillment of our ideals. The theme of the '61 Arrow, enlarging on the special message for each of the four classes, which is climaxed in the opening line, THERE'S A PLACE CALLED HOME, finds its place in the family, school, Church and community.
