RELIGION forms part of every studentis curriculum RELIGION IS THE REASON for Rice's very existence. It permeates the entire school day with prayers before each period and at the beginning and end of each day. Every student is encouraged to visit the chapel daily. Many-like John McKenna Il- 4'lI at left, and Joseph O'Reilly Il-43l-drop into the chapel iust before leaving school. Religion period provides a chance for all to increase their knowledge of God. Students are given a solid course marked by regular assignments and special Provincial Examinations. Hence, students learn both to know and practice their religion. LITTLE JAMES MALONEY I1-44l, at left, unravels a mighty yawn during a before-school last minute cramming for Br. FIaherty's religion quiz. First year course dealt with the existence of God and the Life of Christ. During second year, Sophs cover the sacraments, the Mass, and Church His- tory. Juniors cover the Commandments and the Precepts of the Church and the Theological and Moral virtues. Seniors examine the church teach- ing of various moral and social problems-with special treatment of the problem of the right voca- tion in life and the Sacrament of Marriage. At right, Rafael Garcia I1-45l reads his text, The Way, the Truth and the Life, to the class. FOLLOWING RELIGION PERIOD, some scholars from Room 1-43 head for the cafeteria, at left. They are lin frontl: Eugene Martin, James McCaffery, James Moran. ln back--Thomas Maroney and John Mirabile. At right, eager-beaver collector Patrick Doherty uses police tactics to get some mis- sion money from Douglas Mitchell while Brendan Minoque looks happily on. Picture was iust a gag. Students throughout the school gave gener- ously to the missions without being frisked. Small collection of extra pennies was taken each day during religion period. Funds raised go to the support of the Brothers' missions in Africa and the West Indies. Super-generous Room 45 even sent Br. Dolan, their algebra teacher, to the Brothers' mission in South Africa.
