FACULTY AND URRICULUM To instill in each student a desire to discover his capacity for learning is the purpose to which our faculty is dedicated. Their academic leadership serves as a challenge as well as an example. Fac- ulty participation in extra-curricular activities as- sists students in developing their talents and at- taining social maturity. Their interesting ways of presenting class studies stimulate inquisitive minds. Their determination to maintain a modern approach in their field of study encourages a student to pur- sue a course of personal enrichment. We are grate- ful to our teachers for their demonstration of su- perior ability in classrcom instruction and for their sincere interest in the welfare of individual pupils.
