These fortresses, thought to be impregnable, stood as symbols of might until man H with his power of reasoning invented weapons that could crumble them. Thus we see that absolute power is seated in the mind and not in a formidable bulwark or an inexhaustible army. Build a mighty fortress of wisdom and you have built a fortress which will stand in time against all enemies. To a Salesian knight the greatest enemy is the army of fear. Fear, he knows, causes man to act irrationally because fear stems V . from ignorance. His four years at Salesian will be spent in musterin g an army of wisdom, tempered by intense study and disciplined by his own satisfaction. His troops will be the sciences and languages and their commander, Determination. This titanic force of wisdom can challenge any legion of fear. E - -- - - V--7 -

Teamwork, respect, and discipline is ormula for success To say that you know and understand your fellow man, first say that you laughed and cried with him Here at Salesian the most important lesson every new student learns is that he must get along with fellow classmates he is to succeed in school, indeed, he is to succeed in this world. N o man can live alone. By his very nature man needs someone to talk with, to share his problems and to laugh with. Locked up inside, his ideas, opinions and expressions serve only himself. The Oblates encourage participation in extra- curricular activities. VVhether on the football held, in the yearbook room, on stage, at a student council meeting, or at a rally, teamwork, respect, and discipline is the formula for success and achievement. Here a student's hidden talents are unmashed and his virtues are on trial. Boy challenging boy, not in a duel to death, but instead a duel to life, a life of compatibility, results in boys becoming men. A boy is half a student if he shuns his firmest challenge - man.
