Athletizs The principal obiective of the Catholic High School is the spiritual, mental, social and physical development of its stu- dents. The spiritual aspects are taken care of by the religious instructions ot the students and the social phase by participa- tion in extra-curricular activities. The Catholic High School tries to encourage the physical growth of its students by participation in its athletic program. The physical development and enioyment which are obtained from this participation in athletics are supplemented by a spirit ot teamwork and sportsmanship. Many times due to the frenzy and excitement of close con- tests, being human, we are prone to forget all restraints and allow ourselves to think and act in a very unorthodox manner. The thoughtful spectator, who watches a group of young par- ticipants huddling together on the gridiron or the basketball court to ioin in prayer during a lull in play, can not deny that the religious training and principles of faith practiced by these boys, predominates over all other attitudes and ways of think- ing in all fields ot endeavor. 126
