JOHN FOGE B.S.Educ., Fordham University M.A., Brooklyn College English 2 Physical Education Assistant Freshman Football Coach Track Coach In the modern scientific age, in which the physical sciences and mathematics have achieved an increasingly dominant position, the English Department of Holy Cross High School holds two aims or purposes to be of the utmost importance. First of all, the Department strives to culti- vate in the student a clear and logical approach to truth, be it religious, sociological or scientific truth, and the cor- rect expressions of these truths in the spoken and written word. The second objective of the department is the ma- turation of the aesthetic sense in the student through a fuller appreciation of literature and a participation in a creative writing program. The department takes a hand in and encourages student participation in such extracurricular activities as the Lance, forensic activities such as oratory and debate, the school play and the spring musical. A special addition to the department in the past year is the reading program, under the chairmanship of Mr. Lipp, which features a complete course in reading com- prehension and speed rate building.
