ENGLISH The English Department now under the direction of newcomer Brother George Taylor, inaugurated several new programs this year, among them the Friday music appreciation class. During the four years at C.H.S., students at one time or another take courses in journalism, speech, grammar and literature. The new combined English fee allows the student better material to read and more helpful workbooks than before. Many class newspapers are the result of the new journalism classes.

RELIGION Basic in every man’s life is the knowledge of his faith. From the earliest school days the Modern Cath¬ olic Youth is taught Catechism but as he grows older and matures he begins to wonder about the “Reason” behind it. We are thankful for the skilled guidance of the Brothers of Mary, who show us the Reason behind it. We learn early in our days here at C.H.S. of the import¬ ance of living in a Christian atmosphere with our fellow men.
