Since Latin School is a place where a young man can come and explore a priestly vocation it is very important for him to understand his religion. For this reason the Religious Department is constantly changing with the many developments of the Church regarding religious education. In the Freshman year the student is introduced to the Bible in Biblical Literature by the capable Fr. Cleary. The Sophomores learn about some recent and past Church happenings from Rev. Mis- ter Hilderbrand in Church History. In the Junior and Senior year these two classes combine to form a large group and explore several areas of religion such as: The Priesthood Today, Religion and the Future of Man, Biblical Interpretation, and Western Religions.

This task is accom- plished by the well informed Mr. Joseph Pollman and Rev. Mr. Hilderbrand. In the Freshman and Sophomore years the students are introduced to foreign living conditions in World Cultures. The Junior year proves to be interesting as he can learn about the early American habitat in American History. The Senior year proves to be most interesting as he can choose from seven areas of studies. The most interesting of the seven are Government, Sociology, and Economics. The thing about Economics is that the word money makes people listen. Also offered are Social Problems, Political Science, Current History and American Per- sonalities.
