Page 8 Solidarity The spirit at S. S. High is the spirit of friendliness and cooperation founded on love and sacrifice so necessary for solidarity. The faculty is Composed of priests and sisters who, motivated by love of God, have chosen to work among God's children, leading their trusts step by step to the attainment of final happiness. In working for others, they find their own happiness. This unity' of purpose and this common goal give them a sense of togetherness. The faculty and the students begin the day together with the Holy Mass-the great central act-at once the pivot and climax of the day. Having started it with Christ, they live it out with His Grace. Both know the spirit of cooperation and of sharing responsibilities. The faculty guides, directs, and advises without hampering the initiative and yet protecting against mistakes and pitfalls, which could prove harm- ful in the future. In carrying out the duties, the boys and girls have many an op- portunity for developing social virtues of courtesy, kindness, empathy, mutual trust and forgiveness. True, there is no racial difference in the group at S. S. High, but certainly there is a variety of disposition which calls for self-discipline, self-sacrifice, and empathy. They rub shoulders with all types of individuals. One class is dependent on the other. Each must contribute to the common good. It is the hope of the administration that the social virtues of solid- arity formed in the school will be transferred into life and contribute to lasting peace. The command bond, then, which ioins the pupils in helpful co- operation is harmony of purpose to carry the banner of human progress upon which rests our only hope for peace on earth and good will among men.
