Religion Teachers Take New Direction The Religion Department of Central Catholic underwent some changes this year, under the direction of Father Hammond and Father Henry Mas- cotte, the head of the department. Quarter evaluations replaced the grading system, and students had conferences with their teachers to de- termine the progress which was being made. Most students felt this was a big step forward. They had a chance to get to know their teachers and talk with them about things on a personal level. The Religion Department was com- posed of Father AAascotte, Sister Fran- cis Michael, Mr. Youngpeter, Sister Michele, Sister Andrew, Sister Mary Leah, Mr. Foley, Mr. Shank, Sister Joel, Father Kuzmich, Father Koers, Father Carkenord, Father Tirabassi, Father Gillig, Father Blank, Father Durkin, Mr. Keith Miller, and Father Patterson. Class discussions and the discovery method were used in many of the classes, along with lectures on theolo- gy and Christian doctrine. Father Dave Carkenord stops outside the Gui ' dance Office.
