Page 3 October, 1963 School Areos Refurbished Thanks are in store for quite a few unselfish efforts shown to our “Aina Mater”. Maybe many students haven't stopped to realize all the new features in the school. If not, here is a brief run-down. 1. Do you realize you have one less step in entering the west end of the building? 2. The art room has been changed into a St. Thomas classroom in case you hadn’t noticed. Instead of an art class there will now be an Art club. 3. Coach Bamabo gave the walls in the west building a new coat of paint. He seems to be gifted with more than one talent. 4. Another coat of finish was given to the stage floor. 5. The gym floor was varnished, waxed and sparkling for the first day of school. 6. Fans and lights were cleaned until they shined without being turned on, and the fans were also conditioned. 7. An expensive new hot water system has been installed for the showers. 8 9. Now we can go to the guidance director’s and vice-principal’s offices with a cool feeling. Why? Because an air conditioner has been installed in each office. 10. Has anyone wondered where our little yellow bus went? Well, it has been gladly replaced by a larger one for our athletic depart- ment 11. The Fathers at the BCH rectory announce the departure of former boarders. Since their house has been repaired, the squirrels can’t get in. Some painting was done there also. New Subjects Offered At BCHS Two new courses - French III and speech - and a new approach to a religion course have given a somewhat “new look” to the cur- riculum this year. The juniors are experiencing a different type of religion class Another new subject is a speech class taught by Father Lenahan. These classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday for freshmen and sophomores. Father will be stressing public speaking along with improve- ment in self-expression. Though French has been offered before, this is the first year for French HI. Mr. Godin will be stressing the importance of grammar and comprehension but will continue also to teach conversational French, a most important facet of the course. STUDENTS AND FACULTY EXTEND SYMPATHY TO BARRIE ENTRINQER, whose father passed away during the euaaer NANCY BUCHKO, whose mother passed away in September. SC President Asks Cooperation Fellow Students: The beginning of the school year means the beginning of another Student Council. I tape that this year we can do an even better job than last year. This requires full cooperation from the student body. With a good attitude and a good school spirit we can accomplish many things for the betterment of the school. You, the students, have chosen the leaders you thought would best represent you. Since you have chosen them, please work with them and make them work for you. Then I’m sure we will have a good and profitable year. this year. The Kerygma ap- proach, as it is called, is new to the students, but essentially it is an old way of teaching. Kerygma means proclaiming the good news of the Gospel to ail people. Bibles therefore are used rather than the usual religion text. These classes are taught by Father Massion and Father Fagan. Through these classes the students are expected to learn more of the origin and development of the Church. Jack Anastasi, SC President
