Social Studies The area of study of the social studies de- partment is man in his relation to other men-- his struggles and conflicts of today, his suc- cesses and failures in the past, his dreams and aspirations for the future. Freshmen and sophomores focus on the society and culture of the other peoples of the world. Juniors learn the history of our own nation, and seniors investigate contemporary American society in its economic, political, and social dimensions, as well as our relations with the rest of the world. The methods are described by Pope John in MATER ET MAGISTRA--instruction, forma- tion, and action. The goals are the knowledge, the commitment befitting a Christian in a fallen but redeemed world, the awareness, and above all the individual's responsibility in today's world.

Music The study of mule makes important contribu- tions to the mental, emotional, spiritual, and aesthetic development of students through ine dividual and group experiences. The music courses at Badin High School are offered to enable all students ill to gain an understanding of music as it is related to social milieu of historical and comtemporary periods, m to identify the basic elements of form, techniques, style, and the media utilized in the composi- tion and performance of music, and GO to de - velop bases for discriminating between un- skilled artificial and the exaggerated represen- tations and the sincere products of creative musical minds and of aesthetically sensitive performers. Life is filled with beautiful things --nature, creatures, fellow beings, circumstances and events. Each of these conceal a fragment of Divine Splendor. It is the privilege of the creative mind to pierce the haze and to catch, at times, clear Visions of the hidden beauties. These beauties so enrich the artist's inner life that he bends his talents to monumentalize them and to pass them on in sensuous form to enrich the lives of others. And so in Badin Art Studios we strive to see to appreciate, to express the beauty of life. Thus may we enrich our own lives and come Closer to Divine Beauty. And we exhibit in order to enrich the lives of those who also wish to see--beauty in God and man. MRS . LOGAN HORRALL

li ' ' IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ll . REV. FRED BRUENING REV. IVIICHAEL MORGAN Religion The main objective of the Religion Department is the formation of well informed, convinced, and actively involved Christians. The Religion program is set up to give a good background of the historical development of Christianity from the days of Israelitic cul- ture, through to the life of Jesus Christ, and the early days Of the Christian Community. The entire History of the Church is studied, especially the Protestant Reformation because of the definite effects of History on Modern Christianity. It is hoped, that With their education centered in the Eucharist, they will go out into the world and be involved as Christians in making a better world for the glory of God. The stu- dents Will not only be able to express them- selves in topics of religion, but they will be able to put Christian principles into action. REV. VENARD REICHEL $513? A, 3?
