I TERRACIAL DAYS The Student Council sponsored special in- terracial days throughout the school year to give us a chance to talk with teenagers of other races and to help understand todayls racial problems. We met with students from all over the city, especially those from St. Ignatius High School, to try to break down pre-conceived notions we had about each other. Once again we were afforded an op- portunity to meet a future problem head-on during our high school years. Fr. DePaul was one of the key men in the planning and promotion of these days of prayer and talks. If we can pray together in peace, why can't we live together in harmony? 30
