One ideal of Jesuit education is certainly the ability to express oneself well. Opportuni- ties to learn to speak English are found in the regular freshman and sophomore speech class- es. These were supplemented by a special class in debating which Mr. P. J .Connolly, S.J., taught this year. The hard work done in this after school class paid off in excellence in the inter- school speech competitions. One member of this class, Mike Flecky, a junior, won the city, state, and regional American Legion ora- tory contests. Nor was reading the vernacular neglected. The school bookstore was literally full of great books in paperback form. Many of these were assigned reading in both English and history classes. The juniors viewed a series of the stories they were reading in cinema form. As for writing, the freshman classes of Mr. Thelen, S.J., and Mr. Lynch, S.J., Vied with each other in producing their own class publications, The Poor Freshman's Almanac and Freshman Reporter. These classes also held a running contest on vocabulary pro- ficiency. Several of the English teachers are accom- plished writers themselves. Mr, Connolly, Fr. Eagan, and Mr. Fenton have had articles pub- lished in magazines. Mr. Fenton's latest article appeared in a magazine published in England, called HISTORY TODAY. Fr.
