No sooner had students grown accus- tomed to their new surroundings, than they encountered the human transformation that the faculty had experienced since last May. The renewal of the school in itself has touched and improved every major depart- ment area. Most prominent in this regard was Brother john Krol who stepped in as full time Dean of Men. He administered this usually taxing post with the poise of a veteran lwhich he isj, and demonstrated quickly that discipline can be swift, sure and reasonable. The renowned forty-five minute jug classes put him on a number of black lists at first, but most everyone adjusted to the order he insists upon. All academic departments received boosts this year, most certainly the Latin program which experienced the dynamic influence of Ms. Fairchild. Not only were all Latin classes strengthened by her, but she managed to instill a broad interest in Roman culture, initiating a branch of the junior Classical League. At the same time she and Dr. Clark Thayer organized the school's first European tour which is to be conducted during minimester. Dr. Thayer came from the college ranks to give much needed assistance to our English Depart- ment. 55 .--..,X xref. , W 4 12... ntl. j S j vm if it

The new structure also smoothly complements the style and grace of the old. From the sturdy towers and vaulted roofs to its windows, the original structure is a unique architectural phen- omenon. The Tack Center ex- tends those qualities. In spite of costs, administrators raised the roof on what could have been a squared-off top and installed dormer windows to match those of the old. In full, the school created an image of itself in the future: deeply conscious of its valuable past and enthusiastic about its response to a changing education- al scene. We dedicate our effort here to this remarkable gesture on the part of the school and the friends of Cascia. We feel it represents a new beginning. +4

Mrs. Cunningham has aided principally in math courses and Mr. Hamilton in science as well as assistant coach to the varsity football team. They have smoothly blended into these well developed programs, contributing much in experience and talent. The newly formed Humanities Department which includes Theology, History, and Social Sciences, showed new strength in the addition of Brother Robert McCoul, Brother Iohn Krol and Mr. Frank Grimm. These people are proud of Cascia's heritage and are optimistic about the future. They represent an important part of our school's rebirth. Class schedules, notably among upperclassmen, are markedly changed this year. Since the demands upon math and science students are greater now than in years past, quiz sections have been created. They give students the opportunity to help one another in these challenging subjects. As a result, the students do not have to spend so much time studying at home. This year students are not restricted to taking classes only at school. Philbrook is offering a two class program for the first semester: art history and art. Several students are also taking accredited college courses at T.U. and TIC. Thus, education is by no means restricted to the confines of the campus. Hopefully, these classes will lead to an even more extensive curriculum in the future.
