Qi Fathers Plunkett, Stout, and Daniszcwski leave the cafteria after lunch, ready for afternoon classes. Firm in Faith The complexities of modern life make it necessary that the Faculty of any school be specialists in sev- eral departments. As child and adolescent psychol- ogists, as teachers, as religious, the men and women who teach at Prep display outstanding qualities. A Senior tribute to the school, then, must be, above all else, a tribute to the priests, nuns, and laymen who have given us the finest secondary education possible. A perfect balance between scholastic training and the secondary extra-curricular activities was the constant goal of our teachers. The classroom, there- fore, was the most important room in the school. Only the Church and the religious training went be- fore the duty of learning. So it should be. Sister M. Camilla Sister M.

A 'Q--ml ' 1' Father Fitzgerald consults the map and makes a point for his students in American History. Ri h in Knowledge A Prep student is not free to select courses and subjects to suit his own individual whims and fancies. He must know his goals and follow the prescribed course of studies which is designed to help him achieve his educational objectives. English, Mathematics, Science, Languages, Social Sciences, Art, Music, and Public Speaking have a place in the educational scheme. The student finds his course mapped out for him in such a manner that his graduation will send him forth prepared to meet the strictest college requirements. Above all else, his religious training should make him a good Catholic and a loyal citizen of his coun- try. Thus God lays prior claim on all of his actions and his thoughts. Sister M.
