St. George is also a Temple the Mecca of the Saints to which come pilgrimages of those who love God and shed His divine influence upon the community.

This is a tremendous undertaking and just how to gather together the various tangled threads which make up the elements of any potential human accomplishment and to weave them into a perfect fabric, is a mighty problem. Our plan is to get a new appraisal of values, a new perspective of the importance of the factors that make up human personality and power, and to provide occasion for the development of these essential qualities in the proportion of their importance to effective living. And the plan is based on three points: First, there must be imagination, the habit of seeing far beyond what is, to what might be. Only m the presence of what might be is the we present mean and small and are furnished with the basis of productive discontent. and Second, we must have faith willingness hope. These produce the to venture.

The leadership of the student municipality is vested in an association of commissioners who aie responsible to the student citizens for very definitely planned duties. Although governing power is placed in the hands of a few it, the organization is so thoioughly distributed that resourcefulness and spontaniety of every student is developed. All students are so placed that they will take an active part m the school life, as they will not only do regular routine work but may be called upon to act in definite capacities or take part in other ways in the affairs of the student body. During the school year the student body aims to so plan and ariange its that activities and entertainments the student life will be complete without numerous outside attractions.
