T NT fXT TD DUTN A NT T THU ln M Mahoney try to outwit each other in a game of chess. Bedan lite on the week ends is not without its study periods, but more time is given to relaxation and sports. On Friday evenings it could be a movie or watching the varsity play football or basketball. Saturday and Sunday mornings could bring more intramural activities or general leisure time events such as swimming, ping pong, shuffle- board, hikes, and the use ot the clubroom for card playing. Freshman are agog when they first arrive on the campus and behold the area's outstanding indoor swimming pool which affords many pleasurable moments-. 23 Since the introduction of shuffleboard four years ago, students, like Mike Wagner, beam with pride at their uncanny skill.

EEKLY , .,. .W HIGHLIGHT - T The student's daily preparation, recitations and examinations are considered in estimating his grades. After the first six weeks of each semester and again after twelve weeks, estimated reports are is- sued. These are intended to give the student and his parents an in- dication of his progress. Full re- ports are issued only at the end of the semester, and are the official record of work accomplished during the semester.

Father Marion is about to enter the confessional with Bernie Miks, Mike English, and Jim LePelI forming a waiting line. Saturdays and Sundays Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is celebrated. Reverberating voices are heard as the entire student body ioins in singing the Benediction hymns with accompaniment by Pat Collins, our organist, as shown at the right. r WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS - No man is truly educated who is ignorant of his duties toward God and man. Any system of education which has no provi- sion for moral and religious training is incomplete. On Sundays a high Mass is sung while during the week a dialog Mass is celebrated at which the students recite the ordinary of the Mass along with the priest. Sunday sermons augment the classroom instructions in the religious training of the student. During the varsity football and basketball seasons Friday noon periods were used for pep sessions. Faculty men and players would appeal to the student body for school spirit and loyalty to the team. The football stadium was the scene of the first pep session as the rector, Father Theodore, addressed the student body. 24
