. . . . Also a part of the spirit of our school is the stu- dents' Christian attitude. They have found a place for these ideals in the classroom, in their encounters with others and in their own daily needs. The St. john students keep God as a part of their educa- tion. The place of Christ in the classroom is evident in the value our students place on learning. They realize the effect of education on their life and in turn, recognize the impor- tance of Christian overtone in this field. The value of a Christian education is easy to understand, yet our students also hnd a purpose for Christ in their extra-curricular activities. Mass and rosary have always been traditional before going into a big game. It is not uncommon either to hear intentions voiced at a Senior Mass for those making TEC, or a prayer of thanks for the Freshmen bas- ketball victory this week. It is obvious that there is a need for Christ in our students' social life. lt is typical of the St. john student to put others before themselves. Two weeks of their summer vacation is given to a few fortunate Bible School children. Here they share with the youngsters in learning, music, play, and also share of themselves. It is a familiar site to see a grade-schooler being tutored by one ofour students in their free time. ln all of these three areas the students of St. john High School have found their place.
