Religion Section Sees Turnover Experiencing a complete turnover of teachers, the religion department implemented new ideas. The Rev. Charles Kottas stressed the great involvement in planning and celebrating the Mass for freshmen. He also directed the seniors in study of transactional analysis and marriage. The Rev. John Glaves took over sophomore and junior classes, developing scripture study and Church history. Sharing the sophomores, Sr. Therese Marie Maly concentrated on units about the origin of man, understanding ourselves and Christian life. Sr. Therese Marie Maly shares her time between teaching at Neumann and serving as counselor for the Prague religious education center. Believing does not depend on seeing as the Rev. Charles Kottas directs Jim Bartek to Mary Polacek In an encounter session. Dave Spicka and Bob Knuth await their turn. 12

Poet Explains Creative Process Calvin Rife, a Lincoln poet, headed the list of seven guest speakers who addressed Neumann English classes throughout the course of the year. Speaking to the senior literature class, Mr. Rife discussed his works and gave the class copies of them. Other speakers were Mr. Al Smolkowski who talked on business English; Mr. Dick Weaver and Miss Mary Lu Sydik, science fiction; the Rev. Philip Rauth, sailing; Mr. Chris Carlson, public speaking; and Sr. Rosalee Burke, drama. Mrs. Mary Reaves was the only newcomer to the department already staffed by Sr. Kathleen Cramer and Sr. Veronica Volkmer. At the beginning of the school year, Mrs. John Bergwell took over Sr. Kathleen s classes for three weeks when she underwent surgery. Vocabulary was stressed each morning with the lucky word of the day. Students’ names were drawn at random and those students were asked to give the word, its meaning, and its use in a sentence. Those who answered correctly won a candy bar. If the word was mis- sed, another candy bar was added for the next day. Scott Reeves and Jeanne Sloup held the record by winning three each. In March, Agnes Bouc’s poem Graffiti and Rod Ur- ban’s one line graffiti were published in LISTEN, a literary magazine. Agnes and Rod were 1973 graduates whose works were submitted last year.
