THE BEGINNING OF THOUGHT 10 't

Page 13 text:

Student life in a fishbowl world of its own. Students swimming about, trying to find order in a world Which constantly watches them, But which they can’t quite see face to face. At least not yet. Each day the student grows stronger in his own image, Gaining new skills and with them the confidence To look the world in the eye. Religion, relaxation, studies, sports, mixers, music ... All these and more play a part in a student directed drama.

COMPLEX CONCENTRATION Harrington has situation well in hand. After a long summer’s slumber, thought begins its slow, sometimes painful return to the mind of the Campion stu- dent. Under the gentle prodding of routine, youthful ideas span a field of many diversified topics. Contemplation, con- centration, and speculation can be read from the faces of the students as they go about their everyday life. An idea can form in the mind at any place, at any moment, be- cause the stimulus to thought presents itself in almost every phase of Campion life. Classroom lectures, retreat, daily Mass, a victory, a defeat, the picture of a girl—all these contain the potential material for the minds wander- ings. Yet, thought alone is useless; behind it must be a driving motivation to make possibility reality. It is this motivation which characterizes a man, and a man is the end product of the Campion way of life.
