322 New beginnings foretell successful school year The events of the year both signified new beginnings and kept old traditions. A mixture of fun and seriousness - athletic events, banquets, pep rallies, devotionals, parties - all helped unify the student body and provided a variety of experience throughout the year . A larger-than-usual group of new teachers and students brought with them different lifestyles, values, and ideas . Inevitably, some enjoyed their new beginnings, while others felt rejected. Eventually , many came to realize that our purpose - at school, at home, at work, at play - is to serve God .
