Builders of Faith Religious instruction occupies the number one spot on the Prep curriculum. Every Catholic student takes religion for four years. Non-Catholic students may attend these classes if they wish. Many of the teachers have degrees in theologyg all have studied theology for four years. The Rev. E. C. Kollasch, S.J., returned last September from Rome where he was doing graduate work at the famed Gregorian University. Points brought up at the Second Vatican Council make for interesting dis- cussion in religion classg and most reli- gion texts are modern and sufficiently up- to-date to include these questions. For if there is a revolution in the teaching of science, mathematics, and modern lan- uages, there is likewise a lot of research eing done in religion. The immediate re- sult of such research appears in the new religion books, two of which Prep is ex- perimenting with. During the second semester, the Rev. P. A. Thetreau, S.J., conducted special weekly classes on some of the better known papal encyclicals. Religion teachers are the Rev. Charles J. Scherman, S.J., Rev, Charles P. Mullen, S.J., Cstandingb and Rev. Earl L. Dieter, S.J. Fr. Dieter is purchasing agent and minister of the Jesuit communityg Fr. Mullen directs public relationsg and Fr. Scherman counsels the sophomores. Rev, Eugene C. Kollasch, S. J., teaches religion, di- rects the Apostleship of Prayer, and counsels juniors and seniors. ..,, .ft .2a.aaffaQ.v:m.fsifsv gala. :s,,mjmam1unms-taxi--fs...fl
