To Build A Brighter Future Mr. Jack Bustamante World History, Typing, Yearbook, European History Mr. Evan McGrath Music, Sciiola, American History, American Government We believe that in order to build a brighter future we must study from the past. Our social studies department is composed of classes in World History. American History. European History, American Government, and Economics. The freshmen take World History which is the study of the past events that have shaped the present existence of our world today. American History, taken by the juniors, traces the events which have shaped our nation. In senior year, we take European History, American Govern- ment, and Economics. The development of modern Europe is studied in European History. In studying American Govern- ment, we learn the laws, powers, and the various departments and agencies that make up our present United States Gov- ernment. Economics enables us to take an in-depth study of the production, dis- tribution, and consumption of wealth in the world. By the wide variety of classes, we learn from the past in order to build a brighter future. This page is sponsored by St. Clare Catholic Church 26 Faculty 1. l lr.

At Queen ot Angels everyone participates in the sports program. It lasts from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. We play sports three days a week, competing on intermurai teams within the seminary. Our sports program consists of over 20 sports such as: football, waterpolo, basketball, hockey, softball, volleyball, etc. There are also class competitions through- out the year in football, swimming diving, tennis, basketball, track, swimming, and fris- bee golf. The Gallery of Gold records the number of class competitions the graduat- ing class has won during its four years here. The Century Club is for those runners that can complete the 100 mile initiation. Mr. Crowley, the successful director of this program, has helped us to channel the ten- sion resulting from the academic day into a fun and healthy hour. Through these com- petitions, we learn the importance of team- work and sportsmanship. In addition, each week, there is a Sportsman of the Week award which is given to the individual who was nominated by his teammates for his outstanding display of sportsmanlike con- duct. After going through the sports pro- gram we become better athletes and sports- men.
