MR. JOSEPH LIPP B.A., St. john's University Graduate Work, St. johns University Chairman of History Department Director of Reading Guidance Program U. S. History Moderator of Forensics The Challenge of Democracy is the basic thread that ties together the various courses of history offered at Holy Cross. As Americans, we believe that all men should be free from the 'lshackles of despotism, ignorance and bigotry. We believe that the democratic way of life is the best way. Americans can best protect democracy by ex- tending it to others. This challenge of democracy cannot be met unless we under- stand the goals of freedom. President Kennedy has said Ask not what your country can do for you, ask rather what you can do for your country. Holy Crossflhistory students are helping to keep America strong and safe by learning and understanding the basic truths of freedom. The Holy Cross Social Science Department offers courses in World History, World Geography, United States History, and Problems in Democracy. In World History, ,students trace the growth and development of man from ancient times to the present. World Geography students gain a greater realization of the world around us, as well as studying the interaction of different economies. The birth and growth of our great nation is studied by United States History students. Problems of Democracy, a Senior elective, deals with the complex problems and procedures of modern government. History is the pageant of mankind. In it are displayed all the triumphs and tragedies, successes and failures, virtues and vices of man. Through the study of history, Holy Cross students gain greater understanding of current problems, and thus are better pre- pared to accept the duties and responsibilities of American citizenship. MR.

The Algebra courses are designed to famil- iarize the students with mathematical techniques together with a geometry course and centered around the process of deductive reasoning. For the quali- fied students of senior year, a course in Elementary Calculus is offered, along with a Modern Mathematics course. Here the emphasis is placed on some of the advanced principles of mathematics. 1 It is the aim of the Mathematics Department to bring our students nearer , the day when they may rejoice with the poet Lucretius: l Happy if fhe mmz who, Sludyizzg 7Z6ZlZl7'9jJ' lfzzw, Tlarozzgb kfzowzz effeclr can trace the ferret mme, l The Holy Cross Mathematics Department under the direction of Mr. Michael Vinciguerra strives to instruct the student in these ideas. There are various courses offered in mathematics, starting with algebra in the Freshman year and ending with Calculus or Math twelve in the Senior year. BROTHER MARVIN SAXWNER, C.S.C.

W df, usiness a Jgafg-n-f ' Bookkeeping II Business is one of the oldest occupations known to man, and it is one which will always exist as long as there are people who have goods to trade. The occupational choices which are offered to mankind are many. There are charts to draw, students to instruct, lands to cultivate, souls to save the businesses to run. As mankind ages, his struggle for existence becomes more intricate. The world of business offers innumerable fields of occupations. Every phase of industry has some aspect of the business world attached to it. It is the primary purpose of the Holy Cross Business De- partment to prepare the student for his role in the business world. Under the direction of Brother George Hansen, the Business Depart- ment strives to instruct the student in the various courses of business. The classes whichiare offered at Holy Cross are: Business Arithmetic, Business Law, General Business, Typing, and two years of Bookke eping. These courses are designed to prepare those students who might later enter the business world. The modern society which inhabits the twentieth century is no doubt the most complex to have existed. Society grows and it is there- fore necessary for the mind of man to grow with it. BROTHER RICHARD ECKHARDT, CSC.
