me BISHOP O'H.ARA OFFERS the Mass of the Holy Ghost for the faculty and students at the beginning of the school year. .Father Rochford is assisting the Bishop. Acolytes are Tom Coppinger and Sam Nigro. NOT ONLY IN THE CLASSES labeled religion is piety taught, but also in every class in the course of study. The very atmosphere of the school calls the mind to thoughts of God and His saints. From time to time outstanding speakers are brought to the school to give fur- ther instruction. Forceful and concentrated instruction is given during the annual retreat when three entire days are given over to prayer and meditation and talks by the retreat master. This year the seniors had a week-end retreat all to the m- selves under the direction of Rev. Raymond Ireland, S. J. Some of Father's memorable aphorisms are: Sloth, pride, loneliness, and remorse lead to the rest of the sins, and get out and see how other people live and do some- thing for them. LEARNING TO LIVE HERE AND HEREAFTER 736 0575012 AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH YEAR Bishop Edwin V. O'Hara offers Mass at the school and most of the students receive Holy Corn- munion. After Mass his Excellency gives a heartfelt talk to the assembled school, en- couraging faculty and student body to still greater efforts in the cause of religious ed- ucation. One glance at page five of the yearbook will give assurance that the teachers of religion hold interesting classes and make religion what it should always be, most practical and lovable. Eight priests, most of them sponsors of youth organizations in the parishes to which they are assigned, are part time instructors at Hogan, and one spends his entire time as teacher and couns elor.

YOUTH NEEDS TRAINING IN SOLVING ITS PROBLEMS Guidance - A rg H -T , .,., . - ' x K who 5 ,arc A I S Wm Y ff' Qly 1 , ,, V yi ,yr Zig 34k 'J' W2 if . f 1f3f'ii?Qi MISS MARY BELLE WELSH Director of Guidance AFTER DISCUSSING THE MATTER with groups of priests, sisters, and brothers aswell as with Mother Generals and Provincials of the orders conducting high schools in Kansas City, Bishop Edwin V. O'Hara engaged Miss Mary Belle Welsh to direct activities in the guidance area. Miss Welsh has been specially trained at Stanford Uni- versity and the Catholic University oi America. As important as training is experience. Miss Welsh came to Kansas City after twelve years of work on all three educational levels, besides the setting up of several guidance programs. WORKING WITH PRINCIPALS and local guidance sponsors in each of the nine Catholic high schools Miss Welsh began in 1949 a series of recognized objective tests to cover the full four years of high school life? mental maturityg achievement, espe' cially in mechanics of English and mathematics, comprehension, and reasoning, silent readingg personal adiustment irwe-ntories, occupational preferences. 'I o these tests are added biographi ual sketches and Dare-nts' comments All of these items school administrators and faUllUff8 treat as sat red corifidernc-es THE GRAPHING OF TEST RESULTS during the four years of high school shows the student his progress as time goes on, his strong points and his weaknesses as well as his aptitudes. To the teacher these cumulative records show ata glance how much can be wisely required of each pupil, and how much and what kind of remedial assist- ance should be given. STUDENT DISCUSSIONS during the two or three periods set aside each week for guidance not only emphasize vital points, but also teach students to conduct meetings and take part in them accord- ing to good parliamentary procedure. Thinking p r o c e s s e s are thereby inevitably stimulated. Teachers who were here before the program be- gan and have returned have volunteered their he a r ty approval of the resultant improvement in student alertness and initiative. HELPFUL AS IS THE TESTING of students and graphing of results, the program offers still more in occasional formal and informal interviews of homeroom sponsors and guidance directors with individual students. Father William Rochiord, Hogan's zealous chaplain, also gives full time to religious instruction and spiritual guidance. Moreover, seven other priests who teach reli- gion at the school once a week can be easily contacted. FROM TIME TO TIME visiting priests and reli- gious are invited to talk to the students about vocations to the religious life and to the secular priesthood. AS TIME GOES ON and the program progresses, participants realize its value more and more fully. VISITING COUNSELOR Brother Frederick, F. S. CH who spent a Week at Hogan
