Classes Stress Council's lmporfance his past year the Ecumenical Council, one of the most important events in the history of the church, held its first session. Realizing the importance of the Council, many of the teachers here at McGuinness have tried to prepare us for the changes which may result from the historic meeting. Sister Mary Charles' fifth hour sophomore religion class presented a panel which discussed some of the probable outcomes of the Council. This was also the subject of several open dis- cussions held by Father Gallatin with the students of his fourth hour religion class. In the earlier part of the school year a table display of literature on the Council was set up in the library. The prayer for the Ecumenical Council became our standard first hour morn- ing prayer. Thus did we ask God to aid and inspire our representatives to make the best decisions for the good of the Church. All in all, we have begun to prepare our- selves for the possible changes which will be the end result of the session concluded in 1962 and the one which will begin next September. It is highly important that we should be so pre- pared f whatever the new rules, regulations, and changes are -- each of -us members of the Mystical Body will be directly affected.

ai..-sm he English Department at McGuinness con- centrates mainly on the development of the stu- dent's manner of self-expression. Material is presented in such a way as to challenge the intellect and to stimulate the imagination. Some- thing new in the department this year was the one semester Communication Arts class which stressed grammar as the ground-work for all written and oral communication. Literary types were studied in the underclassmen grades, Eng- lish literature in the upper. Freshmen were taught how to use the library. All levels faced research assignments, all put much time in pol- ishing up vocabulary. Students gained insight into their own natur- al talents as well as the talents of renowned authors, poets, and essayists. Descriptive writing has captivated Sister Pauline's English Ill class, especially Mike Roberts and Jeff Davidoff. Freshmen Phil Phipps, Barbara Miller, and Bill Hanneman watch intently as Sister Elisa explains the function of the controlled reader. To enrich a class essay assignment, Danny Fine exhibits Scuba equipment with the aid gf John Wilkinson and Lorraine Archbald for the members of Sister Judith's English ll class, l 1 5 .
