"What is nobler than to
mold the character of the
young? I consider that he
who knows how to form
the youthful mind is truly
greater than all painters,
sculptors and all others of
that sort“.
(St. John Chrysostom)
Warm Up: Alma Mater Hymn
Hail, Hail
Alma Mater,
Hail to De La Salle!

And never shall we fail,
Hail to thee our Alma Mater!
Hail! Hail! Hail!
