BR. J. C. O'NEILL American History I, 2 The understanding of societies other than our own is an important aspect of our education. By introduc- ing us to past and present civilizations, the Social Studies department prepares us to maintain our coun- try's leadership in today's turbulent world. The Social Studies courses range from the examina- tion of world geography to detailed history classes and the Advanced Economics course. Through these subjects we can obtain a true ap- preciation of man's endeavors on earth. 20 BR. E. A. MULDOON, Chairman American History I; Advanced Economics

Department Of Religious Studies FR. E. P. COX No one is attending Gibbons by accident. The school was chosen by the students for a variety of reasons. Foremost on' the list is the continuation of the indivi- dual's Christian education. Religion plays an important part in the every day life here. A morning visit to the chapel is a custom observed daily by many stu- dents, and confessors are available each day. Religion is a required course in the school, with each year presenting a deeper, fuller view of the Church and her teachings. The Department of Religious Studies, headed by Br. Malvey is responsible for this major accomplishment. Each student, particularly in Senior year has received a firm groundwork in his religion—one that should last a lifetime. 22 FR. T. HAYES
