Living the Catholic faith is a 24 hour a day adventure in which we are training our wills to be con- tinually in tune with God’s will. Having studied about the perse- cution of the Church through the centuries, we see its divine origin with crystal clearness. Our rea- soned proofs of God’s perfections have prepared us to explain these wonderful truths, and it is with hopeful anticipation that we step forth from our religion classes to bring this knowledge to the world. The Saint for Sophomores Kathleen Moore, Peter Gig- liotti, Judith Fuchs look to Saint Joseph for guidance in the moral virtues with Jo Ann McNulty, Paul Deane and Sister Jeromita. David Maslyn explains the world we must conquer for Christ — each in his own little way. We've Got a Job On Our Hands— 15

Youthful Enterprises in Civic Relationships In our adventure in Social Studies IX we started our journeys by traveling to Africa and the Orient by way of the trade routes. We visited the South American countries to inspect their natural re- sources and to learn about their customs and prod- ucts. Our adventure continued as we approached the ind istrial capitals of the world, learning some of the laws governing the relationship of capital and labor as taught by the Popes in their encycli- cals. Our study of careers proved also of great interest as with an eye to the future we looked into ourselves to see if we had the qualifications a specific career demanded. All of this was preparing us for our big adventure in the future. These are only a few of the projects we under- took, but they will show you that our adventure was a happy and beneficial one. Our sophomore ventures began in the Medi- terranean World where we found the bases of our present systems of law, our principles of art and architecture. Uplifted by Christianity, we found medieval days filled with the spirit of courageous undertakings—the great cathedrals, the universi- ties, the crusades. The story of the Holy Wars made the relationship between East and West ex- citing for us, and our study traced these cultural patterns to our own atomic age—an era of climax. We learned that cold war and atomic power re- quire an understanding of the past in order to take part effectively in the world-wide venture of striv- ing for peace. As Juniors, we journeyed with the heroic im- migrants coming to an unknown land seeking free- dom; we accompanied the people who opened the frontier in search of gold and land; we suffered with the great men who fought to preserve the union and abolish slavery; we fought beside the American boys who gave their lives in two World Wars and the Korean War to make the world safe for democracy. Now we are working hand in hand with the scientists, military experts, industrialists and all groups who are striving to bring lasting peace to the world 16
