religious activities prepare students for time, FORMER STUDENT .lane Keenan shares her experiences as a postulant with Adrienne Grubman and Carol Hartnett. In any high school, the activities have for their purpose, the preparation of the students for life in the modern world. However, at Bishop England another training is given to its students which is of a more lasting and therefore a more valuable nature. This train- ing is received through participation in the re- ligious activities which not only prepare the students for life in this world, but life in the next. The Vocation club which is under the super- vision of Rev. Ernest Kennedy, the Spiritual Director of the school, guides its members in the choice of their state in life. Always stressed is the fact that the decision as to one's voca- tion must be based on the will of Almighty God. The Blessed Sacrament is always kept in the school chapel which is dedicated to Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom. Here, the rosary is recited every morning before school for those who wish to take TO minutes out of the 1,400 in a day to show their love for God. Every Wednesday morning finds shortened classes to make time for the weekly Mass. At this Mass, celebrated in the gym, the students unite to ask for the help they need and to offer thanks for all the assistance they have received. Those who choose to do so, receive the all-perfect gift of the body and blood of Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Eucharist. Out of each school year, three days are set aside for the annual retreat for the jun- iors, sophomores, and freshmen. The Senior Class will have its retreat at the end of the year at Camp St. Mary's in Ridgeland. This retreat closes the religious activities of the school year and gives the departing seniors the opportunity to become better citizens of Church and State.
