Elms College - Elmata Yearbook (Chicopee, MA)

RELIGION The core of the curriculum of any Catholic college is the study of Religion. Here at the Elms, patient instruction and self-application has brought us to a greater knowledge and consequently a greater appreciation of the rich Catholic heritage that is ours. Our four years of religious studies embrace both the theoretical and the practical. An excellent example of the practical aspect is the Marriage Guidance course offered to Seniors. The study of Religion has truly inspired us in our efforts to follow One who grew in “wisdom, age, and grace.” SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE is given to us each morning as Father Pierce, our Chaplain, delivers an inspiring explanation of the Mass. REVEREND THOMAS B, PIERCE REVEREND JOSEPH A. BURKE CAUGHT ON the way to class, Father Burke is seen talking with Freshmen Peggy Fitzgerald and Sally McCormick.

REVEREND ROBERT H. STAFFORD ADVANCED PSYCHOLOGY for Seniors finds Father Stafford in a typical classroom scene. Order is reflected in created things and philosophy pursues this order. Three years of Thomistic study have brought us nearer to those understandings which direct a better way of life. Seniors culminate their program by examining various forms of morality and the nature of the human act and influences which affect it. ALWAYS RELAXED, Father Viau pauses for this picture during a Senior Ethics class.
