1 Sister Marie Therese gives Joanne Markowiak special hints for next year's college plans. SISTER MARIE THERESE, R.S.M. Guidance Director, Religion, Sodality Religion and Quidance Direct Each Student The keynote of McAuley's religion course stems from man's tremendous yearning for happiness. The four-year program of instruction entitled Our Quest for Happinessf' embraces the Fresh- men who are drawn by the creative love of the Father, the Sophomores who are awed by the redeeming love of the Son, the Juniors who re- spond to the sanctifying love of the Holy Spirit. The Seniors culminate their study with reflections of the beautifying love of the Blessed Trinity as they march toward their eternal commencement. Some of the Senior activities include booklets on the Ecumenical Council and Privileges of Mary, reports on Communism, social justice, and various other related topics. Each week Seniors have the opportunity of a class with either Father Lamentia or Father Reichert to discuss many helpful and practical topics concerning their future plans in the religious, married, or single state. The Department of Guidance develops a phi- losophyf' Since Catholic educational philosophy stresses the sacredness of each person, Catholic Guidance aims to assist each student with her educational, vocational, personal, and social proh- lems so that she may successfully adjust both to school and to life. McAuley's Guidance Department keeps records of the progress of each student. These include cumulative reports of grades, referral slips for teachers, and free guidance literature. The de- partment collects and distributes free educational and occupational information, Academic depart- ments are encouraged to plan group projects to acquaint students with available guidance liter- ature. A very important function of the Guidance De- partment is the setup of a standardized testing program. This program includes intelligence, apti- tude, and achievement measurement. Test results are interpreted clearly and confidentially for each student. The Guidance Department sponsors special pro- grams for the student body. An activity of this na- ture was Career Conference Night, held in Febru- ary, to acquaint students with job opportunities in various occupational fields. McAuley's Guidance Department assists gradu- ates to find full-time employment. Undergraduate students are given part-time and summer jobs. Placement services include filling out job order cards, screening applicants, and checking on job progress. Sharon Daley, Kathleen Biggs, and Isolde Wrob- lewski discuss the Ecumenical Council in senior religion class.

As a Catholic school, McAuley bases its goals on the ultimate purpose of life-eternal union with God in heaven. A school directed by the Sisters of Mercy, it strives to achieve its objectives ac- cording to the ideals of Mother Mary Catherine McAuley. Since McAuley students have been created to the image and likeness of God and destined for eternal happiness with Him, the school is dedicated to co- operation with divine grace in forming the true and perfect Christian woman who thinks, judges, and acts always as a truly Christ-like character. The true product of Mercy education exemplifies noble womanhood. She is the cultured, religious woman, associated with peace and good order in every phase of life. Religion is necessarily the foundation of McAuley's administration, policies, curriculum, and teaching. Aware of this obligation to educate the entire personality of each girl, the school plans and ad- ministers the curricular and co-curricular activi- ties to meet not only the religious needs, but also the intellectual, physical, and social needs of ado- lescent girls, both in school years and in later life. The school aims to guide each student: To fulfill her religious, social, and personal obli- gations. To be a loyal and articulate Christian citizen. To develop her intellectual powers. To maintain mental and physical health. To acquire worthwhile, cultural and leisure inter- ests. To prepare herself for her vocational work in life. SISTER MARY SCHOLASTICA, R.S.M.
