Religion Studies Develop True Christian Viewpoint To lead students to their eternal salvation is the major objective of the religion course at Holy Cross. In striving for this end, the department seeks to give the students a better under- standing of the Triune God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a knowledge of the Catholic Church as the true Church, founded by Christ, and a comprehension of the precepts of God and the Church which govern our relation- ships with Him and our neighbor. To further this aim, Christian principles are integrated into the subject matter ot all other courses. The school also provides many opportunities for grace in First Friday Mass and Holy Communion, Lenten devotions and the annual Holy Week retreat.

Guidance Program Molds Future Careers ln an effort to provide more effective career and personal counseling, the guidance department has added to its regular roster of tests the Flanagan Aptitude Classification Tests for juniors and the Iowa Tests of Educa- tional Development for seniors. The number of career speakers has been increased in order to give a wider scope to the student's choice of college or career. The guid- ance library, open throughout the day, abounds with pamphlets, catalogues, and bul- letins gathered to present a picture of each state of life and every type of educational in- stitution for the student's benefit. Besides the guidance library, a special bulletin board has been designated on which is posted informa- tion pertinent to scholarships, careers, and service opportunities. Also, the guidance of- fice is always open to those with special prob- lems. Since association with others demands cour- tesy, Holy Cross students also take a course in manners, which ties in with guidance. ln these courtesy classes, everything from good study habits to dating data is discussed. Fresh- men and sophomore homerooms also conduct group guidance while juniors and seniors dis- cuss careers.
