I I You can expect from the gradu- ates of Trinity School a beginning of wisdom, and their discovery of a way they can follow the rest of their lives. You will have made it possible for them to become active and know- ledgeable Christians, liberally edu- cated citizens, and defenders of the Truth against its myriad adver- saries. 7 7 - Ronald P. McArthur President Thomas Aquinas College The manner of teaching at Trinity also develops the students capacity for learning. Ideally, at Trinity stu- dents are taught by the Socratic method, in which the tutor leads the student to discover the truth through questioning and challenging. The student is encour- aged both to apply his knowledge to real situations and to draw his own conclusions. The tutors continuously ask the students to think deeply about issues and de- velop a more than surface understanding. The second goal of the school is for the student to apply his knowledge and academic abilities to his personal life in order to grow as a Christian. The strong religious atmosphere encourages the students to become better human beings as well as better Christians. Students discover that Christianity is not just a religion, but is actually a way of life. They learn to conduct themselves in an honorable, Christian manner in every situation. ln short, Trinity School at Greenlawn was established not to feed facts to students, but to help them develop themselves intellectually and morally in a Christian manner. Through constant exposure to the visions of greatness which men and women have pursued through the ages, students learn to hold their own vision of greatness before them, a vision of greatness which comes not from material wealth, but from the spiritual wealth of Christianity. One comes to Trinity to seek truth and beauty. It is this which makes Trinity truly unique. ggkM,.,.ff1 'A . QQ.. 10

FFICJIVI THE CLASS CDF '85 .-st. if Not that we have gained reams of wisdom as we approach graduation, but to future graduates we would like to say a few words. To those who began as seventh and eighth graders when we were in the ninth grade, sharing our pioneer efforts, we think of you with fondness and wish you the very finest future. By your example and experience, much of what Trinity is still to be will be determined. You will be the first to have completed the entire program. To all Trinity students: lt takes only one class to clear the path, but generations of future graduates to establish a reputation. Have confidence in the education you are receiving. its uniqueness is also its strength. Since classes are small at Trinity, we urge you to strive for class unity as we did. Your discussions and school life will be enriched. Ask any of us ten years from now if our experience at Trinity was worthwhile. Our perspective will be more profound. Our hopes and hesitations will find greater balance as time unfolds. Dare to think - and dream - and have fun!
