CLASSES Through attendance and participation in the various classes at Monroe, students have been able to share more fully in the vast treasures of wisdom and knowledge. This has come about only through the continuous encouragement and advice of the Monroe teachers. Whether it be an exploration of algebraic equations, the fundamentals of a foreign language, or the proof of the existence of God, students need their guiding light to lead them to- ward the Truth, the Life, and the Way. RELIGICDN Unless a man be born again of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. As Stephanie Mathis reads the passage from St. John's Gospel, Mary Lindholm writes it on the board, hoping that the other sophomore religion students will come to realize its importance. SOCIAL PROBLEMS To thinkl actually got a point across ! says Father Morris to his Social Problems class.

Since his beginning, man has striven to enlighten himself, to increase his compre- hension of the world about him. The wonders Q of science have always intrigued him, as have the history of his ancestors and the mysteries of reli- gion and life. Through the ages his knowledge has broad- ened from a small spectrum of light to an unending rainbow. Through participation in his classes, the student is able to absorb a part of this vast store of learning and experience. The teacher is his guiding light, explaining and instructing him in the methods to attain this knowledge, ever leading him toward the under- standing, so aptly phrased by Cardinal Newman, that truth has two attri- butes--beauty and power, and while useful knowledge is the possession of truth as powerful, liberal knowledge is the apprehension of it as beautiful both roads leading to the Eternal and the Infinite.
