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.

The Growing Need for Communications in an Expanding World -Knowledgels Key. Written and oral expression were emphasized through the streamlined reading program, from 9 books to 7 for the year. Intensive discussion, three major themes per quarter, weekly tests, iilmstrips, and audio-visual materials supplemented the program. Visual Concepts, Inc., presented its course on speed reading through the Department's arrangements. Over 300 students attended on a voluntary basis. Language Arts Week, devoted to seeing the varied field which is covered by this subject, was executed with clock- like precision. Each student participated in the activities so that Language Arts became more meaningful for him. Plays were presented on closed-circuit TV, posters drawn, projects based on novels and stories were constructed, and original drawings were made to be displayed in the halls. The curriculum was revised for all four years and new texts were evaluated for possible use in the near future. NIR. JEROME L. BELLAK MR. ARTHUR English iv. Bonxowsxl English IVg Speech. MR. JOHN P.
