team work shown through office staff Five hard-working men and women comprised the office staff of Bishop Luers for the 1971-72 school year. Father Flavian was in charge of the treasury. This included tuition, bills, and the income. Brother Dave, who also taught typing, ordered the textbooks for all subjects and helped Father Flavian with the treasury work. Brother Louis worked in the supply store every morning and at lunch mods. He collected ab- sentee lists, delivered mail, and also helped Father Flavian. Mrs. Hankee worked on the permanent records of the students and the seniors ratings. Mrs. Powell worked on the absentee lists. Together they took the many calls Luers received, put grades on report cards, and made up the honor roll and the list of failures. Teamwork was the dominant spirit among the staff members. Each pitched in and helped one another when there was more work than time.

The Freshman course of Religion gave the stu- dents an idea of God ' s saving involvement in hu- man history. This was achieved by examining specific biblical themes such as prophecy, responsibility, freedom, and openness. The psychological growth of the child and adoles- cent was dealt with deeply in the second year Religion course. The Sophomores discussed the problems of school, parent relations, popularity, honesty, and self identification. The Junior Religion program was based on Christian faith, its nature, varieties, and development. Various faiths throughout history were studied. One Senior course studied the sacrament of matri- mony and the problems surrounding it The alter- native was to study contemporary Christian life themes. This course studied contemporary works of litera- ture and attempted to compare the similarities with ike themes in the Bible and related religious concepts. religion offers new insights .. K --
