The Goal: 'gTo the Making of Menf' The school has experienced a record enrollment of over 2,000. The faculty increased to 86 when 29 teachers were added. Two assistant Principals had been appointed, one in charge of teacher personnel and curriculum, the other, oilice records. The Administration had inaugurated new positions to handle building maintenance, student employment, dis- cipline, and extracurricular activities. A Dean of Students works with those who have difficulties in personal discipline and the Coordinator of Student Activities maintains con- trol over all organizations so that these might be bene- ficial both to the student and to his school. The school hosted National Catholic Education Week with the expressed purpose of opening lines of communi- cations with public as well as parochial schools within the area. Curriculum plans had been consolidated through the monthly meetings of the departmental chairmen and the Principal and the Administrative Board used these and streamlined them to meet the needs ofthe student learning and growing in an expanding world. Student government, under the Council, expanded to include an organization, the Sword and Shield, which aimed for a more disciplined student outside of school as well as at assemblies and during dismissals.

To Know Gneself Is to Know Others. 7 am-www 7-of K LL hun-ar REV. JOHN 1. KLEK, CR REV. CHESTER Religion IVQ German II. NORKIEVVICZ, CR Religion 1, ll. Individual class retreats and classes conducted in the Chapel brought the meaning of religion more closely to the student. Each class attended its own personal retreat, at the school, for a day. The students were required to come to school after the normal day was over and par- ticipate in a retreat when the student body had left for the day. The weekly Friday Mass was replaced by Mass held, monthly, for the class. The Religion Department's main emphasis was on helping a student assist himself through self-knowledge. The new liturgy and its function in the life of a Cath- olic in today's society were presented and discussed, all with the intention of making the youth realize that true success must rest upon a solid, spiritual foundation. 501933 REV.
