Ways to Win If we look into our own lives we can discover the numerous ways to win. Winning quite often is said to be done only by sports teams or candidates in elections. The mean- ing of winning goes much deeper than that. We all win; not everyone in the same way. We have worked hard and have succeeded but have not necessarily been called “win- ners.” Everyone receives a Catholic education which is a big plus and makes us all winners. We should take pride in ourselves as winners, whether it be in academics in sports or in personal goals.

The Upper Hand An important aspect of our education at St. Mary’s is the positive influence of a parochial school atmosphere. We are receiv- ing not only a good education but also Christian principles which are instilled in each and every one of us. The priests, sisters, and teaching staff guide us towards the ultimate goal of academic ex- cellence coupled with high Chris- tian ideals. ABOVE — Msgr. Gerety and Fr.
