'I his class emphasizes the importance of Christian princi- ples in the economic world. By learning to live with justice and charity in their dealings with others, freshmen are able to climb further on the “Stairway to Heaven.” The freshmen stand on the first step of the stairway to knowledge which ultimately leads to Heaven. They, through religion, their most im- portant subject, learn the fundamentals which will eventually guide them to their destination. God. All freshmen do not seek knowledge through the same medium. Some may choose a business course; others, the academic; but no matter which they choose, their goal remains the same. Through algebra, an academic subject, they be- gin to learn the abstract truths necessary in lay- ing the foundation of higher mathematics. Through introduction to business they learn the basic principles of business which will become increasingly important in future years. Later they will appreciate more and more the opportunities afforded them through a knowledge of Latin. First year Latin emphasizes vocabulary, and the roots learned there are an invaluable aid in life because such a large per- centage of the words in our English language is derived from Latin. Hence Latin becomes a step towards good English. However, we must remem- ber that English is not excluded from the fresh- men curriculum. Freshman English affords the Food Fundamentals The General Science class learns the basic steps in testing foods for chemi- cals necessary in the body.
