To Build a Christian Community Fr. Forest and his class discuss primitive religions during small group. TO LOVE; jLOYING MUXES LIVING WORTHWHILE The general goal of the religious education program at Bishop Luers was to foster a Christian Community. The classes tried to experience the gospel message on a more personal basis, especially in the small groups. More specifically, the freshmen were given the general idea of God ' s saving involvement in human history, past and present, and the need for man ' s response to God. The sophomores were assisted in becoming aware of the Christian Human Personality. The junior program cen- tered its attention upon Christian Faith-its nature, varie- ties, and development. The seniors studied the sacrament of matrimony. A second elective for seniors had as its main objective to integrate religion with life and experience. The course studied contempory works of lit- erature and attempted to integrate the themes of these works with similar themes in the Bible. In addition to the regular courses in religion, was the regular morning Eucharist; the days of recollection; the overnight retreats; and the special days of Celebration. Celebration day closes with the mass offered by Fr. Fred. Participating at the offering are Bill Palone and Linda Pazder

Writing Skills Broadened in English To enjoy life to its fullest, we must learn to extend our minds. Through imagination and knowledge, the English Department aids the Luers students in forming the foun- dation needed for this. In the English Department there are such teachers as Mrs. Lauer, Mr. Lebamoff, Sr. Veronica, Mrs. Thomsen, and Mr. Weaver who introduce the eager Knights to many forms of poetry, drama, and the short story. Mrs. Moon and Mr. Davis were added to the talented staff completing the list of English educators. The first and second year courses introduced us to the development of literature. The junior year specifically teaches historical American literature while the seniors study the English literature and the major authors. Each of these courses are care- fully planned by the English department and each mem- ber works diligently toward the success of the department. Mrs. Moon emphasizes facts on fundamental writing. Mr. Lebamoff shows great interest as he lectures on the Victorian Age. Mrs. Moon Mrs. Thomsen Sr. Veronica Mr. Weaver English 1,111 English IV English II English 1,11
