When we first step forth on to the Bridge of Understand- ing, we soon realize learning is a difficult process, but an important one. The struggle that the freshmen, sopho- mores, juniors and seniors enter into with their books is a struggle for life. Over the span of four years of secondary education, it has ever been the aim of our teachers to assist us in the formation of good habits of mind and body. To erect a solid foundation for this bridge, which will bring us to new fields of action - college, careers and professions - the staff has revised and strengthened the school curriculum, emphasizing, particularly, the fields of Knglish, science and mathematics. During these formative years, the faculty have devoted their energies to making St. Stephen High School one of the outstanding Catholic High Schools in the Blue Water Area.
