It is at Snowden we strengthen and extend the foundations begun by our parents in our homes and by our churches to meet our future needs. Habits of thinking, reasoning, and study are de- veloped. Character development begun at home continues throughout our time at Snovvden. Ef- forts are made to correct our weaknesses and strengthen our good qualities. We are all taught to take our place and do our iob. We learn leadership and co-operation. The lessons we learn, the habits we form remain strongly imbedded in our lives and lay a firm foundation for adult life.
