At Leo. a solid founda- tion in the laws of chemistry and super- vised training in laboratory technique pre- pare the chemistry student for more ad- vanced study and research in college. ENGLISH Hare is the person. in this fast-moving age of scientific discovery and material cori- fort. who knows how to read and write the English ,language perfectly. It must seem strange to others seeing Americans. the best educated and most progressive race on earth. unable to use their own language correctly. A man is cultured in proportion to the fluency with which he speaks and writes his own language. The value of English to a man is inestimablc. whether he be in busi- ness. public life. or any other occupation. Leo students must take four years of Eng- lish. The course is intended to familiarize the student with the classics of English and American literature. and the note-worthy authors of both countries. as well as how to write correctly. observing the rules of punctuation. spelling. and syntax. HISTORY The world's history from the time of the Egyptians until the end of the first World War is a required subject for all second year students. The never-ending pageantry of empires rising to greatness. and in turn being displaced by youthful. more vigorous nations is unrolled before the studcnt's l y99. ln senior year. American history and government are compulsory. lieading Ameri- ca's struggle for independence is an integral part in the education of a true American. The second semester of fourth year is given over to the study of the science of the government of America. the most nearly perfect on earth. Those wishing a major in history may take Irish History in fourth year. Rav. Ba. F. R. FINKIII fflwlnixlry am! M1lfh6'l7lIlfl.l'.9 U1'r1'f'Iur of .4tf1leIf1's .

Cisca. a school for Catholic Action. may he likened to a link. binding students of High Schools and Colleges to the Savior who so loved man as to give His very life for him. The purpose of this organization is to drench the entire student life-per- sonal. social and cultural-with a genuine Christian spirit. In doing this tremendous task. Cisca created four standing commit- tees to handle the job. The Eucharistic- Our Lady committee shows us the Liturgy as the fountain of all Christian living since it puts us in a direct contact with Christ-on- earth-today. The Literature committee shows us the Liturgy as the source of Christian culture. Christ's plan of things. The Social Action shows us the Liturgy as a teacher. teaching the practice of Christian justice and charity. Lastly the Apostolic commit- tee shows us the Liturgy as the driving force to make us spread Christ's truth and life around us. Leo entered Cisca in '37 and today is a flourishing alliliate. The Knights of the Blessed Sacrament organization is Leois own Spiritual Society. It is that group which promises weekly communion and several minor practices for the greater glory of C-od. Its more immedi- atc goal is the sanctification of mankind thru the more frequent reception of the Blessed Sacrament. In no way can its re- sults he minimized, for it has been a great inspiration and influence for good. Thru the K. B. S. was born to Leo a Catholic Action paper. the Clarion. At first a small typewritten sheet, it has now entered into every classroom. The Clarion prints each week the I0 knightly practices. Cisca news, visits of spiritual leaders to our school. important Saints of the week, and an appeal for the remembrance of the dead friends and relatives and the sick and suffering. Although we seldom realize it, we are inter-dependent upon one another. Upon this fact rests the principle and the plan of the Living Cross. It is a stream of Grace, penetrating all barriers. and encircling the world with its arms of life. There are three degrees or grades in the Living Cross: I. THE AUXILIARY CORPS ! promises weekly Mass and Communion, IO min- utes of Mental prayer. and one REAL SACRIFICE dailyg 2. THE DEFENSE LECIONfpromises Mass and Communion three times a week. 20 minutes of Mental Prayer. and Work for either Red Cross or Civilian Defenseg 3. THE VIC- TORY LEGION-promises daily Mass and Communion. 30 minutes spent at Mental Prayer, work for Red Cross and Civilian Defense and Daily Compline tithe ollicial night prayer of the churchl. A great part of Leo has joined the Auxiliary corps. Int: Page Twenty ll,-.-1. tt- ..!.- ,-
