Marist School (Georgia) - Traditions

Traditions

The Marist uniform is a tradition that has changed little over the decades. Boys wear gray trousers with a belt, a blue, yellow or white oxford shirt and specified shoes. Girls wear a Marist plaid skort with the oxford shirt and saddle shoes. During the winter, all students wear a navy blazer or letter jacket and boys wear a Marist tie. Since its inception, approximately 25% of the Marist student body have been students from other faith traditions. Events include St. Peter Chanel Day, an outdoor field day in the spring, as well as Holiday Traditions, an arts and crafts fair held in October.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:

    And all the great traditions of the Past
    They saw reflected in the coming time.

    And thus forever with reverted look
    The mystic volume of the world they read,
    Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
    Till life became a Legend of the Dead.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    But generally speaking philistinism presupposes a certain advanced state of civilization where throughout the ages certain traditions have accumulated in a heap and have started to stink.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
