Both priests placed em- phasis on the student's role as a Christian-as a member of the Mystical Body. They also pointed out the true values in life and showed how important charity and chastity are in the development of the whole person. Again this year, there was a divided retreat, with Father Bosch preparing the juniors and Seniors for their new lives in the world, and Father Vogel explaining facts pertinent to lower classmen.
