eligion topics open new doors The Religion Department underwent three major alterations this year. Under the guidance of Sr. Charline Sutherland, religion was transformd from a definite topic, four year class to an elective-type one semester class. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors chose two classes that they thought would interest them, that they would benefit from, or teachers that they could relate to. The semester courses gave students the opportunity to study more aspects of religion. Since all but the marriage courses were open to stu- dents in the three grades, classes became enlivened. Not only did this give us a greater awareness of others, but it helped to build school unity and spirit. ln following course example, retreats also broke away from the set classes. Sr. Joyce Rupp set up retreats at various locations as an inter- school activity. A lot of good experiences were had during these mini station breaks. Retreats were generally overnighters, where they started at night and lasted through the next day. Students brought their own food on most of them, although a few community suppers were served.
