Religion Classes Provoke Thought S. Josephenia Jane Below Sr. Joletie Sr. La Verne Sr. Margaret Mary Michael Mikonczyk Sr. Terenita Mary Vargo There is one class in Divine Child High that offers as much knowledge and enrichment in fifty minutes of time as the other five or six periods put together. This compulsory course is a review of history and a preview of the future. In religion class, individual viewpoints are often the igniting force in whole-scale debates. This short session serves as a vent for pent-up emotions and leads the way for in-depth discussions on current issues which may (if not already) affect the lives of today’s students. Senior students find themselves confronted with the shattering possibility that Christ perhaps was not the Son of God, and on the other hand are asked to give their thoughts on love and conscience. Junior religion classes take a look at themselves and evaluate their relationship with others. The connection between the life of Christ and the fives of people today is the main topic presented in the sophomore classes. Finally, we find the freshman eagerly attacking the intricate ins and outs of the Old and New Testaments while developing useful historical background data on the life of Christ. 12
