PHYSICAL EDLICATIO np Keeping our body agile and strong, healthy and quick, is very important: God gave us a body to help the soul win heaven. Our wonderfully mechanized system is kept in good working order by long rough hours in the gym and on the athletic field. Three times a week we dig into our lockers for gym shoes and gym suits in place of the usual books. We have a wholesome, well-balanced program of indoor and outdoor intramurals as after-school activities. For those who are more interested and have the ability, varsity sports are avail- able. The important goals of our athletic program are good sportsmanship, team work, and the building of a strong body which has learnt to obey a higher power. 23

SCIENCE In a world where the lives and futures of people are greatly decided in a scientist's laboratory, there is vital need for the development of Catholic minds in the field of science. DuBourg offers the chance to its students in courses of general science, biology, chemistry and physics. Not only the specialist may take science, every student is required to earn at least one science credit in his four years. Thus while supplying the future scientist, doctor, or nurse with the necessary background, the department also opens up a new world to the other students, a world in which every day happenings become startling, and common-place events, amazing. But because they are receiving a Catholic education, the students also discover the ultimate Reason for all these wonders. They come to know the most inventive of scientists - the Creator. Thus Bishop DuBourg High School achieves its primary aim. l 22

There's nothing so still as the library where every silent book seems to hush even the swish of the drapes. But it's not a silence of deathg it's the silence that cloaks the great deeds of men. Books, instead of being lifeless, static things, have been man's most dynamic, most explosive force in the world, By reading a book, a person can soar off to unknown worlds, or sink back into the pages of history to recapture the thrill or the shock of events in past ages. We base our knowledge on the work of our forefathers, thus reliving, through reference and research, the hardships and accomplishments of man down through the centuries. We build and progress on what we have learned. A library not only serves as a helpful source of information but also pro- vides unlimited relaxation. Sister Electa's contagious love of books and her ability to lure even the most hesitant into reading make our library a place where you're a stranger only once. LIBRARY
