Religion offers variety Religion is a major part of the student life at Maur Hill and the Academy. All Catholics and other Christians take regular religion classes at both schools. Seniors have co-ed classes four times a week, plus a mass. The separate parts of Senior Religion are the Church in North America, and Christian Vocation, which includes instruction on marriage and religious vocation. “I don’t really like being forced to take religion classes. I do, however, feel that these classes help people grow spiritually,” David Hanny, Atchison senior, said. Juniors have co-ed classes three times a week, a study hall, and a mass. Juniors class sections are: Morality, Peace and Justice, Death and Dying, and Church History. “I believe that this year’s religion classes will benefit me greater than any other year, because of the practical reasons behind these classes,” Angela Domann, Atchison junior, said. Sophomore Religion is not co-ed and is taught three times a week. Sophomores receive instructions on Holy Scriptures. Freshmen Religion is not co-ed and they have a study hall and a mass. They are taught Church Doctrine and Introduc- tion to Morality. “Religion should be a way of life for every person who attends Maur Hill and the Academy,” Brother John Peto O.S.B., said. (Story by Walter Robohn) The music for the mass was provided by Brother Tom Jacobs and Ms. Julie Weisshaar. The music made the mass interesting. Brother John Peto teaches Religious Studies. He is also the head of the Religion Department. Kim Harrington, Leawood Ks., senior willingly accepts Holy Communion from Fr. Matthew Habiger. Fr. Matthew opened Homecoming spirit week.

The no pressure sports Intramurals bring foreign and American students together. Volleyball is a very popular sport at Maur Hill. Mike Langmo sets the ball during an intramural volleyball game as Terry Anderson sets himself for the block. Volleyball games are played every weeknight at 9:00 p.m. With all the varsity sports we have at Maur Hill, what is there for those who don’t particpate in these sports? The answer is intramural sports. Dan Moriarity, Atchison Junior, says, “You can have more fun playing intramural sports than varsity sports because you don’t have the pressure of winning.” The most popular intramural sports are volleyball, which is played in the spring and fall, and basketball, which is played in the winter. Maur Hill also has raquetball, softball, football, and soccer on their intramural roster. The sports allow students to pick their own teams and compete in a league against other teams of students or faculty. “Intramurals are a good way for you and your friends to get together and play on a team just for fun,” said Scott Penning, Atchison Frosh. The team that wins the league receives the famed Maur Hill Intramural T-shirt. The intramural games are of- ficiated by students, who may not make the best calls, but get the job done. Intramurals also give borders something to occupy their free time and give them a chance to get acquainted with day hops.
