The FO R PHASES of CONSTRUCTION LAYING A FIRM FOUNDATION A huiiding is onIy as strong as its foundation. Amer- ica is only as strong as its youth. A program of citizenship, health, ethics, vocation, leisure, and the home, hrings a firm understanding of Iiie and its objectives to our student hody. The future of America is safe in the hands of trained peopIeI DEVELOPMENT OF FAIR PLAY The advancement of civiiization is impossihie, when man refuses to treat his felIow men with fairness and justice. The creed of fair piay is paramount in the ideais and activities of St. Ciair High School. The idea is instiiied and developed in the receptive minds of our youth. It is the basis of our sports program, and its prin- cipies are heautifuIIy iIIustrated by our athletic teams. DEVELOPMENT OF GROUP ACTION Success cannot he found hy working alone: every man must intermingie with associates hoth in business and in play. To he sociaily correct, is not a natural trait, it is not inhorn. One must develop cuIture and sociai habits with his fellow man. Like everything eIse, these traits must he developed in us when we are young. A schooi must give its students different societies in which they can take partg and student government so that they may he taught to govern themseives. DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG FELLOWSHIP To lend a helping hand to a friend, is one of the hest attrihutes of which aii ol' us can he proud. The survival of the tittestf' is an ohsoIete axiom which has been discarded hy the deveIopment of feliowship in people as the world progressed. Feiiowship is needed in the troubled world, therefore it must he developed in the schools. lltslprincipies must he expressed strongIy so that each student may say with sincerity, Let me Iive in a house hy the side of the road, and he a friend to man.
