Looking into the future to a day when those under their in- struction will be the doctors, the lawyers and the teachers of America they take especial pains in helping their pupils attain proficiency in the translation of foreign languages. The realization that only a small percentage will active- ly use their knowledge of a foreign tongue does not dampen the ardor of their teaching, for these Brothers of Mary feel that such a course tends to vitalize the mind and make real the immortal classics of all time. Armed with these indispensable weapons it is thus made possible for a young man to go forth and fight his way to the top employing keen perception as his ladder and knowledge as his sword. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4

Our school. which is in many respects a government, has such a board, and with the best interests of the school at heart this council has efficiently and justly discharged all its duties. A threefold division in the executive functions of our school is necessary because of the numerous problems arising in school life. In this separation perhaps the most trying assignment is that of the Chap- lain. It is he to whom we go for advice and guidance. Ever anxious to aid in the solution of difficulty by the able application of Christ's divine code, he stands always a bulwark of defense against evil. While commending praiseworthy position we must not fail to mention the Registrar. To this man a tremendous decision is relinquishedg namely that of advising and in many cases deciding which plan of study a student should follow. After studying talents and character in boys he is able in an efficacious manner to prescribe curricula. The American government has a leader-the President, and like that government the school too has its chief-our Principal. Cooperating with this man is the Vice Principal and together they see that the school runs even- ly by looking in on classes, advising teachers and, in a word, elevating the educational standards of Chaminade. Smoothly coordinated into a single unit of strength and power the govern- ing organization of the school executes its functions in a fashion that gives evidence of American principaling and justice.

SCIENCE A Democratic nation. in order to prove itself most worthy. demands from its citizens the acquisition of cer- tain basic habits which characterize a scientist. Careful Observation. a scien- tific requisite is essential to proper citizenship. because it is through this medium that we keep abreast of cur- rent atliairs. Clear thinking and un- prejudiced action are as important in everyday life as they are in scientific calculation. Science brings together peoples of all races and creeds, and, like our Americans, ignites them in one common brotherhood. Science raises the intelligence. understanding and living conditions of its adherents. With this in mind the field of science is incorporated into three of our years at Chaminade. Only the most compe- tent of instructors are intrusted with this important task so that when a student departs from Chaminade he will be able to exercise to good ad- vantage. his life as a loyal country- man. the fundamental principle which we have mentioned above. It is there- fore with a great deal of respect and admiration that we present the men who are delegated to the intricate work of teaching science. Top: JEROME R. GORG. s. M. Center: JOHN J.
