The English Teachers stressed improv- ing the students' communication skills this year. Under the direction of Mr. Fla- herty the English Department empha- sized continual reading aloud. Reciting of oral reports expanded the students po- tential to succeed in life. Cathedral Prep students used their communication skills to aid their school. Mr. Flaherty, appointed Director of Public Relations this year, incorporated stu- dents into his eighth grade recruiting pro- gram. Traveling with Mr. Flaherty to grade Right: Mike Fatica answers a students question dur- ing a recruiting session at Our Lady's Christian. Far Right: Mr. Flaherty makes taking a test more bear- able by telling a few jokes to his class. Prepsters Aid In Quest schools, students gave speeches on the advantages of coming to Prep and an- swered candidly any questions the eighth graders had. Both the elementary teach- ers and students commented on the as- surance and good oral expression a stu- dent of Prep had. One hundred Prepsters helped give tours during the December open house. Tour guides brought parents of prospective Prep students to various parts of the building where different clubs and academic classes showed prepared displays. These students used their prac- tical verbal skills to help recruit members of the class of 1985. Mr. Flaherty's organization and practi- cal application of English helped to com- municate well with the outside world. In- side and outside of the classroom Mr. Flaherty taught men of Prep a valuable asset which they will use their whole life- time. His unique approach tothe subject gave success to the English Program at Cathedral Prep. Mr. William J. Flaherty, B.S. Gannon University Economics, English IV, Varsity Bas- ketball.
