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.

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.

Head of Science Department B.S., St, Edwards University Graduate Wo1'k, Manhattan College Physics Geometry Student Council Moderator Ass't Stage Crew Man on the moon, advances in medicine, the discovery of stronger and lighter materials, all these will some day be the result of tedious hours of study followed by innumerable hypotheses, experiments, failures and finally successes. The foundation for these advances is now being laid in a fundamental knowledge of secondary sciences. It is in high school that the seed is sown for the future scientists, of America. The Science Department of Holy Cross under the supervision of Brother john Houlihan, C.S.C., offers its students courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and General Science. These courses are geared not only to give the student a basic concept of science but also to help him understand a little more about the world we live in. In General Science the student receives a basic knowledge of the other sciences. Biology explores the various realms of life from the simple one-celled ameba to the most complex organism of man. The mysteries of matter and energy are unveiled in the Physics lab. A more complete. under- standing of the ordinary things, such as light, sound, and electricity is thus acquired. Finally, Chemistry inquires into the chemical composition of the universe. A study of the different ele- ments is gained through a course in Chemistry. The knowledge of science and its application has fast become the criterion of successful and powerful nations. The student in today's fast paced world must have a more intense and broader knowledge of science. This need for knowledge is fulfilled by the Holy Cross Science Depart- ment. MR.
