English- Slorehouse of Beautv and ulture Literature of Ellglilllfl Literary England, important dates and places, explained by Mr. Rewak to Mclineany and Crimmins. American Literature 6'-x lfnglish is perhaps the most necessary course taught at Bellarmine. Only through an intelligent and thorough un- derstanding of grammar and structure can one communi- cate intelligently with others. Through the study of litera- ture. past and present. the student grasps the wisdom ac- quired through the centuries. The great masters and master- pieces are uncovered in the eyer intensifying and ever searching light for knowledge. One can find a vein of gold in being able to appreciate the realism of Chaucer. the romanticism of Shakespeare, the humor of Twain. or the genius of a lfugene O'Neill. English at Bellarmine then is an attempt, and a success- ful one, to develop in the student a recognition of the im- portance of the language which he speaks and an apprecia- tion of its contribution to our culture.

Student Body President Mark Pisano Inspiring intellectual responsibility and Christian accomplish- ment -a theme indirectly adopted by an exceptional array of Student Body officers this year extended a closer cooperation of Student Council and Student Body, and added new zest to this important area of school life. President Mark Pisano's crusade to demonstrate the sensible responsibility of the student body was highly successful. Increased interest in all the facets of intellectual activity- religious, personal, social-was fostered. In charge of the Rally Committee, Vice- President Paul Tumason used novel ideas, such as a mascot, coupled with drive and determination to build Bell spirit to a new high. Treasurer Dick Harrington, Secretary Tom Morris, and especially hard-working junior Bill Gagen finished making up one of the finest groups of officers Bellarmine has ever known. The very dili- gent Student Council, directly elected in its entirety for the Hrst time, worked closely with officers and students, by innovating such projects as the Student Assembly, to make 1959-1960 the beginning of a new era of student government.
