Mathematics rofis- vilol com- )life ore I the lown illie irsei and Mathematics today is a tool for progress in science. Mathematics is the language of the physicist, the engineer and the chemist. That is why the Aquinas Man is trained in the basic elements of Mathematics as dem- onstrated in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonome- try and Calculus. Should the Aquinas Man desire, he will be ready to proceed to higher courses in college which will enable him to become a scientist, a physicist or an engi- neer. Seniors Kester and Sullivan solve Trig problen Algebra I students Morrison and Flahaven opply formulae for classmates.

Religion The aim of Religion at Aquinas is to trans- late the CATECHISM into a strong and vital force in student lives. The very best of com- petent teachers make Religion come to life in the Aquinas Man. Because students are made aware of the problems which are the cause of current disturbances and shown how these problems may be solved with the aid of religion, the subject-matter of courses in Religion become the most important and interesting in the world. -K Hi Ml •r,l Father Desmond offered the weekly Mass for Students.
