Pe0P1e ITTLE A EXTRA To get the job done, we all gave a little bit more than was expected. What would we have if our books, uni- forms, desks, sports equipment, and even the school structure were taken away? We'd have the unique people that made up our St. Paul family. The most dominant part of our family was the students. Even though the stu- dent body was the largest in our school's history most managed to spread their wings and find their individuality. This explained the many different interests at our school. However those differences didn't matter when we needed to join to- gether at rallies, games, or in a defense of our school. The Einsteins of our family were, of course, the teachers. They were very special, because they not only tried to fill our minds with what we needed to know, but also went that extra mile to make life more enjoyable for us. They spent their own time being moderators of clubs or organizations, and some took on the extra job of coaching. There were other groups in our family, which despite their small size had an im- portant part in the functioning of our school. Administration, the office staff, the people working in the snack bar, and the ladies in the library all contributed to keeping us comfortable with everything running smoothly. Despite all the outer wrappings of our school atmosphere, what was inside the school is what really counted. 6 D PEOPLE

The strict disciplinary rules, en orced more accurately at a less populated school, help students to carefully think through consequences be- fore actions are taken. The con- stant concern for each other, and the strong sense of values among the student body are clear results of our religious education. Despite ifferences in personal- ity, it is not difficult to make l- .wx , , Qi- ,,i A- . .... - friends. Usually, a student will have more than one course in common with other people in his grade, which gives more opportu- nities for two people to get to know each other. Relationships are closely bound, whether it be student and student, or teacher and student. Because teachers and pu ils work closely together, they otlten a de- velop a special relationship with each other, and grow together in a sincere friendship.
