The Saint Bernard has
typically been known as
a large mountain rescue
dog. With its courage
and intelligence, it has
saved many lives in the
Swiss Alps.
Today, it is known as a
gentle family dog who is
trustworthy and friendly
with a big heart. It is
also widely known to be
a good protector. At
Sabin, we encourage the
students and staff to
possess these qualities,
thus the Saint Bernard
is the perfect mascot.
In front of our building
stands a metal statue of
a St. Bernard. To
many, it has long been a
mystery. Who is
responsible for this
work of art. When
was it created? It
was built in 1986 by the
students in the metals
shop class. Each
boy and girl cut out a
piece of metal to
contribute to this
enormous statue.
If you look closely you
can see some names and
comments by the students
on these pieces of
metal. It is
rumored to contain a
time capsule, but it is
simply untrue. |
