Page 6 270 re wo rd WHAT'S BEHIND S. S. HIGH? As you have seen, there is a building well equipped devoted to education, and there are many people who inspire, who serve, who co- operate, who direct, who help and who infuse a spirit of friendship. But is this all? ls this the reason why many boys and girls just like to come back to St. Stanislaus and roam down the corridors looking at the pictures and talking over unforgettable memories? Is this the reason why the seniors sort of choke up and begin to cry on Class Night? Is this the reason why iuniors want to hold back and not begin their Iast year? What is that something extra that we have here? ln short, it is the S. S. High Way of education-the Catholic Way. There is besides a natural bond, the supernatural bond made by Christ's love. The pattern for education that we have always had at S. S. High is the pattern for peace adopted by U.N.E.S.C.O. which echoed the U. S. Bishop's statement on Man and the Peace. In the U.N.E.S.C.O. organization, however, there is nothing mentioned about God or the spiritual forces with which cultural aspirations of the world's peace are inexorably bound up, and for this reason we have our doubts about its effectiveness. But it is not so with the traditions and objectives at S. S. High. We are conscious of the Supreme Being in all our work. His teaching permeates the school, its teachers, and its pupils. We are made to realize that God is the true source of authority and knowledge. Hence, our Pattern for Education as we endeavor to portray in these pages is the U.N.E.S.C.O.'s Pattern for Peace with a modification. We give the first place to God and the Christian principles.
