Controversies Occupy Attention Miss Kollstedt ' 2 Mrs. McKinney All kinds of informative things have been happening in social studies classes. Imagine the excitement of attending court house trials or a field trip to Proctor 8c Gamblels where a production-line movie was shown. How would you react to a talk by the Board of Elections about voting or by the Social Security Administration concerning its problems? Maybe you would rather hear from Steve Gilligan about Vietnam and the Veteran Outreach Center; perhaps the topic of adoptions by Catholic Charities would be your preference. All of these topics were covered at various times by government classes. In World Cultures, the movie titled ttNicholas and Alexanderd was shown. Current events in the Middle East and the Soviet Union occupied many hours of class time. At any rate, although we were all involved in making history, students of Mrs. McKinney and Miss Kollstedt really knew what was going on in the world. a '31.

Students Experience Religion In the words of Sister Laurencia, head of the religion department, this subject is not merely a system of beliefs to be taught, but is a way of living. Following this philosophy, teachers used the ttexperienceit of faith by means of Masses, paraliturgies, and discussions besides regular classroom teaching. It was hoped that each girl would better understand herself and her relationship to God through these daily personal contacts with religion. Sister Michelle Sister Laurencia Father Mike Mr. Drotar 1.

g Self-Expression Filters Through f As head of the English department, Mrs. Briggs revised the curriculum, so that juniors and seniors no longer shared classes. Another innovation was evident as Mrs. Briggs, Miss Geraci, and Sister Michelle brought their special gifts to the humanities division in the form of a team. Emphasis was placed upon skills used in writing term papers and, just in case any faculty member forgot, each was asked to help students understand such concepts as ttcompareh and ttcontrasth, as used I V in examination questions. i K- hk- Drama classes featured various productions M ' - X X throughout the year, but they found their finest 1 ,5 1 2 R expression in ttGodspellf, a play which was presented 2 ' . .' . - , during Lent.
