Traditions
The pep rallies at St. Anthony's are packed with traditions. At the "homecoming" pep rally in the fall the Homecoming King and Queen are crowned. They "knight" the varsity football players as the "Homecoming Guard" after the announcement is made.
A relatively new tradition is the praying of the Angelus at the beginning of seventh period every day which began in the fall of 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“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)
