The school motto, ad viros faciendosw- to the making of men, is the keystone upon which the new administration will augment the traditions ol' Gordon Tech. Father Wal- ter M. Wilczek, CR, the new principal, changed the school seal and a new student handbook was organized. Students were placed on a track system to enable them to work with those of their own ability. Classes were lengthened and the study period was placed in the middle of the day. The grading sys- tem was changed to letter grades and the quarter semester system was adopted. Stu- dents were also ollered various types ol' elec- tives to complement their curriculum. Departments were organized so that all meet monthly with their chairman, who in turn, meet with the principal and discuss pertinent details covered during the individual meetings. The student council also took on a new format. The Guidance Department suggested candidates for the various class of- ficers on the basis of their past scholastic achievement. W v Rev.

RliV. VRANCISJ. ROCL CR REV. MITCHELL J. Religion lll.lV. TADI A. CR Religion l.ll. Religion Department Religion is at the base ol' a Christian's life. It is the duty of a Catholic high school to make the students more aware of their religious re- sponsibilities and to execute these with con- viction and purpose. New concepts in liturgy have been emphasized by the folksong Mass and the Mass ofConcelebration. The Resurrection Fathers have given the students many opportunities to participate ac- tively in the expression ol' their faith. Masses are said daily and confessions are continually held for the student's benefit. Retreats have been expanded in number this year to increase opportunities to realize the necessity of com- municating with God. Seniors and juniors have a chance to make private retreats outside the school. Religion teachers encourage participa- tion in active religious groups in and outside Gordon so that the students might be able to make their faith something visible and last- ing. REV. THEODORE J.
