Language And Speech: Expressing With Words To learn to express ourselves in the spoken and written word we are fortunate to have the efforts of our Language and Speech Departments. Lite rature of our America and other lands ancient and modem, stimulate lofty thoughts and ideals. Our foreign languages, French, Spanish and Latin, remind us of our heritage from other cultures. Speech teaches us to communicate our thoughts briefly and concisely. We explore the process of debate to decide issues. Debate shows us the need for discovering the facts, but stresses the importance of explaining and interpreting the facts correctly. The dedication of our teachers has brought us the power of the spoken and written word.

Social Studies: Man In The Historic World How can wc foretell the future? A crystal ball is not the answer. Rather one must have a full understanding of past and present. To this end, Jesuit has centered its social studies program in Civics, American History, World History, Sociology Economics, and Psychology. The Civics course is designed to help us understand the structure of today’s society and how it developed. American History unfolds the incredible phenomena of democracy and the men who have guided this nation. World History gives us the full story of man and his eternal search for happiness. Sociology Economics and Psychology, both electives, delve more deeply into the reciprocal effects of man and his environment on each other, even exploring the corridors of the mind. Thus, knowing the road we travel on, we can make it our own.
